Unbelievable. I don't think there's an intelligent person out there that doesn't agree that almost all schools are administration heavy, except maybe the administrators themselves....but regardless, how can a school tell its students that they want them to be involved in community, and to be leaders, and then punish them when they actually act as a thought leader?
I thought high school was bad when I went through it. I graduated 13 years ago, and in the last 13 years, schools have gotten WAAAAY out of hand. I stood up to the principals and even the superintendant of APS on a number of occasions, I was treated unfairly, and from time to time, I was even suspended for reasons I should have not been....but the ways our schools are working these days, its a wonder that any of our kids are going to be capable of dealing with society and difficult leadership by the time they graduate.
Private school sounds better and better every day.
An upstate New York student said he got a three-day suspension for creating a controversial Twitter hashtag encouraging discussion of the school district's failed budget.
