You've gotta be effing kidding me? You've got one hell of a niece, sounds like a great funny person. That cracked me up, but again, you've gotta be effing kidding me?! Expulsion? F that.
I could understand it if it were Mater Dei, Servite, Rosary, or some other private school of that nature, but not public. Hell, even in those private schools I'd be surprised if it came to expulsion for that.
OH MY GOD!!!
I went to Rosary for like 1 1/2 years!!!! (didnt work...boys liked the uniform.)
thank GOD I got to go back to the public school!
she goes to school in HB...some stupid sounding one...something view...or lake...lake view? mountain view? hillview?? lake hill???
some shit like that.

so far the only other thing that ANYONE (teacher/counselor & friends/Student witnesses) have said was that once on the ground she did a "commando style" crawl and said "get down!! get down!!!" and then yelled "Tex! NOOOOOO (fade out style yell) I told you to get down Sold-IER! NOOOO!! WHYYYYYYY!"
I found all of that fucking HILARIOUS when I heard, but - I didn't think it was all that pertinent to my thread question...
the teacher told me (I was at the school to meet with them about this) that she didn't feel the punishment is fitting the 'crime" but that was OFF record...and she is blaming the "zero tolerance" policy.
the Counselor is kinda pissy because aparently I do NOT take my niece's actions "seriously enough"
oh...one last thing, my niece, and the teacher both have said that when the Counselor "marched" her to his office, she made a comment about "gi Joe and a king fu grip"
my niece can't remember what she said, and the Teacher didn't hear it very clearly.
but that is all of the story as I know it...5 students (2 are friends) 1 teacher, 1 teacher assistant, and the counselor...all have agreed upon that version.
Ok, I could possibly see suspension but to expulsion is out of line IMO. In the end how does expulsion really help this teenager, I just don't think it does. How long did it take to come to this ridiculous decision?

I am so tired of all you sue happy dickheads. The school districts are so strapped for cash and you want to sue. With high gas prices, the schools are getting things left and right. Here's a solution, raise your kids right and don't allow them to act like idiots.
WOW.
um I am not planning on suing the school over anything...I just want her to be able to take her freaking AP tests...hell, I kinda even think it would be cool for her to not have to go to school for the last month...provided she gets to turn in her year long assignments and take the placement tests...I am sure she could do with some extra beach time.
oh, and I kinda think she was "raised right"

Yeah the not being able to take AP tests thing would suck, I took pretty much every AP class possible in high school, and it would be a shame to go through the harder workload for nothing. However, if for some reason things don't work out and she doesn't get to take the tests, tell her it's not a huge deal. I came into college with more AP credit than I can remember, and was actually a senior in terms of credits by the end of my freshman year, but it's still gonna take me 4-5 years to graduate just like everyone else.

But I dont get the "joke" as im not American and wasn't around at that time.
I get the joke, I even thought it was funny in some respects. Teenagers have done much worse with the many pressures they have to face in schools today. As we have seen with the many shootings in the last decade.

Haha She sounds fucking hilarious. Whether her education is now screwed or not, she sounds like she's got a good, fun-loving, positive head on her shoulders. This post made me laugh.

one thing's for certain......she's DEFINITELY your niece...;)
yeah...I know...the thing that sucks is I was ACTUALLY given shit by her mom (my sis) because she said I am not always a "good" influence on her...and that was why she was a little reluctant to leave her "home alone" with me for the 6 weeks...but I was like OH no!!! I can totally do this!!
and you know it is like biting me HARD in the ass (and for once that is unpleasant)
so with this happening on my watch is just like...totally crap-landic.

Well at her school in order for her to take certain subjects she has to be able to "place" into them, I am not as sure that she needs them for college credit - but she enjoys taking the "heavier" courses.
I am really just hoping that I can convince them to at the very least let her take the tests...I am thinking maybe detention, or suspension.

You read about someone trying to get her niece back in school even if it means using the pressure of the judicial system, and your brain for some reason processes a lawsuit for damages.

Are you *Evan Almighty*? I was a teacher many years ago and I have a 11 yr old daughter and as a parent I can raise her right as you put and still they can get into mischief.
My daughter attends private Catholic School and this behavior would not have been allowed. I gaurantee you she wouldn't have been expelled not with the kind of money I have to put out.
So teenagers find and create mischief to ease tension and as parents we can't at times control their behavior in school. In this case was anyone harmed by her comments where they couldn't attend school?
So why does she need to miss the rest of this year and possibly next?

and if this happened to him when i was on watch, i'd probably never see him again
Call the local newspaper and/or TV station. I'm surprised this isn't already being talked about in the media.
good point. zero tolerance? you don't have zero tolerance for someone who sucker punches a kid in the hallway but this girl is completely thrown out of school? definitely newsworthy.

To mention legal action does not necessarily mean "to sue." It means to look at one's legal rights to an education and make sure that the expulsion was not done without just cause. It means standing up for the child's right to make a mistake and not be kicked out of the school.

when your kid gets thrown out of school for no reason, you do what you want.
I will sue their asses fucking blind unless they take it back and issue an apology.
get a lawyer and threaten legal action against the school. the last thing they want is their school smeared all over the local paper for something this stupid and meaningless.
so I have a meeting with the superintendant tomorrow.
I am pretty sure they are going to let my niece back into school...I just talked to him on the phone and he was pleasant and told me that the initial reaction was "overzealous" but they had to act on their "zero tolerance" policy.
SIGH!
I may not have to actually tell my sis, or bust a cap on the foo' counselor.

If one person is offended at all by something someone says, reprimands must happen. In a work situation, she could be fired for that. Its unfortunate that an offended person can't just say "I found that really offensive..." rather than run to the Human Rights or whatever department to have the person fired or reprimanded...
While your nieces actions were funny, it could completely be taken out of context and be considered to be in very poor taste and very offensive...and yeah, could get you a suspension from school.
