Anyway, I've heard of principals acting like morons, but this is ridiculous. Dude, if you're going to expel the kid who throws a pie in your face at an event you signed up to participate in, save yourself the extra paperwork and don't sign up. Sheesh.

A student who's doing exceptional (seeing that a 3.4 these days is not only acceptable, but exceptional. Feh.) would have no such reason.

Date: 2004-05-24 05:48 pm (UTC)A correlation between dumbassery and grades? Not so strong. Grades measure intelligence, not wisdom. What the kid did didn't require a criminal mind or even a hooligan streak; it required him to embrace his inner moron for a minute. At 15, the inner moron is real close to the surface.
So: Why should what the kid did be any less wrong because he makes good grades?
