Tenn. bus driver accused of DUI with kids aboard

Story: Tenn. bus driver accused of DUI with kids aboard

Another case of a loaded bus with a loaded driver. While she was dreaming of sugar plums and daisy fields, students aboard this bus were trying to figure out why they were stopped in the middle of the road for several minutes. Maybe next time we should heed warning when kids have to kick through empty cans of Miller High Life just to get through the isles.

Drunk mom fights another mom in school cafeteria

Smells Like: drunk , Florida , parents , violence

Story: Mom charged with hitting other mom in school lunchroom

The Octagon has nothing compared to an elementary school cafeteria. I am guessing it doesn't traumatize your child either when you go into a drunken rage and start bashing another moms face in front of the entire lunchroom. Aside from the potential to break a nail, the only down-side to acting like this is trespassing on school grounds, disorderly intoxication, disrupting an assembly, battery striking or touching, two charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and obstructing or opposing an officer. Not bad for an afternoon.

Girls in trouble for "I Kissed a Girl" song

Story: Twirlers Disciplined Over Suggestive Song At Pep Rally

Here's the thing, the girls didn't actually write, produce, or sing the song. Nothing in the article indicates that there were actually any girls kissing each other either. Do schools freak out every time Queen plays at a Pep Rally because of the threat of kicking people and throwing mud in their face? This is high school, I am pretty sure most teens have access to all kinds of music. The school is allegedly trying to ban the song from the radio and MTV as well.

Aside from grabbing the girls neck and putting a bucket on her head while banging it, the teacher bent her glasses in the process.

They fought and cheered hard and are now able to wear their short-skirted outfits...but only on game day. Young boys and pervert teachers rejoiced at the news of this announcement.

Briefly: A calendar was handed out to 10,000 students and in one February entry, instead of reading "Black History Lunch," it read "Black History Linch." Kind of a big over-sight don't you think? To make up for the mistake they gave everyone a sticker to put over it. Unfortunately you can't really put a sticker over 150 years of racism and unequal rights.

Story: Students suspended for barbecue in parking lot

Nothing like some bacon and eggs to start the day off right.

I am glad the school is really taking a hard look at calorie intake and cracking down on diet habits like this though.

It's probably just a harmless meth needle. If you've ever seen a junky shoot up, then you know they're aren't going to leave anything in the syringe. The biggest threat now is just hepatitis or HIV.

School Bans Boy From Wearing Makeup

Smells Like: dress code , expression , GLBT , Ohio , policy

Story: School Bans Boy From Wearing Makeup

Since the principal decided that wearing make-up was stereotypically a female thing to do, they deemed it a distraction and inappropriate for this boy to try some on. Schools are without a doubt the source for how young boys and girls are supposed to behave according to gender laws. It is rumored that they also suspend girls for talking about football, since that is supposed to be a guy conversation.

Story: Principal Accused of Pulling Girl's Hair

Generally the best way to get an 11-year old girl to change her hairstyle that you don't agree with is by yanking at it until your point has been made. Can't she just leave all the hair-pulling to the 11-year old boys that sit behind her in class? Does the principal also flick the back of students ears if she doesn't like their earrings?

It was less than a day ago when we thought Florida teachers finally got the hint about having sex with minors. Now we learn this lady has been hooking up with a boy half her age for quite some time. To top it off, there is another teacher in the Sunshine State in some trouble right now because he has a habit of telling girls what color underwear they are wearing. Either the heat is starting to get to them or underage students are really, really attractive in Florida.

It's too bad the school doesn't have restrooms easily accessible otherwise he would have been able to properly go to the bathroom instead. Luckily, the teacher did not drink it. In addition, the teacher was fortunate that the boy did not offer a Baby Ruth bar instead.

The boy actually lives across the street from the school, and didn't belong on the bus in the first place. So since the driver didn't recognize him anyway, he figured a 5-year old would do just fine for himself being dropped off at the last stop a couple miles from the school. After a day of site-seeing including the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Yankee Stadium, the boy decided enough was enough and walked back home.

Florida teachers are taking a breather from having sex with students, but they still can't find restraint form hitting them. High school kids seem to get into fights all the time, so apparently that justifies an excuse for a 44-year old man to bruise up a 10th grader. Had he not been arrested for a third degree felony of child abuse, he was minutes away from challenging the boy to a cage match.

Story: Parents Arrested For Students Missing School

For the first time in maybe a decade, schools are submitting to the fact that parents have an integral part in raising their children. So much so that they are arresting anyone whose student has more than ten unexcused absences. Filed as "educational neglect," principals are hoping that Johnny Law can help them on their quest to curb skipping school. In a related note, the school also pitched the idea of a $250 fine for every time a student does not complete their homework.

What's troubling here, is that I didn't know teens were so desperate for beer, that they are willing to take pictures of their genitals for a 50-year old man. Not one of them had a fake ID? Even though the adult is at fault, I believe this classifies the boys as prostitutes. Next thing you know they will be pawning off their moms jewelry for meth money. Just look what this teacher started.

Now, because of this new policy, families can come together and root, root, root for their hometeam. I am sure mom and dads will enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to be inconvenienced every weekend.

This story is so ridiculous, it marks only the third time in DetentionSlip history that the actual photo is used to depict the incident. It must be nearly impossible to ask bus drivers to double-check and make sure all students have departed. She must have thought it was a ghost or something to freak out this much. And the young girl must have been pretty confused when she realized that instead of peacefully getting off at her bus stop, she was violentely awoken by crashing into an old lady's house. Again, it's a simple job to do a sweep of the bus before calling it quits for the day.

Story: Mom allegedly used daughter's ID to be cheerleader

They say 30 is the new 16. Pretending to be little kids must be the hottest fad for adults right now. But there is nothing like reliving your glory years.

Principal makes girls look at bag of poop

Smells Like: Colorado , health , idiocy , poop , principal , weird

Story: Principal apologizes for poop bag incident

This was how he decided to resolve in issue with the bathrooms being messy. You can imagine parents don't like getting the news that their 4th grade daughter was forced to look at, smell, and touch a bag of human feces and urine. What great disciplinary practices we are applying. He justified it though because he made them wear gloves! It was later learned that this guy just developed a real odd poop fetish after watching Two Girls, One Cup.

Predator, 30, poses as 12-year old boy in school

Smells Like: Arizona , law , safety , sex , weird

Story: Sex offender who posed as child pleads guilty

It always puzzled everyone why instead of taking the bus, he drove home everyday in his '93 Toyota Tercel. Unless this guy found the Fountain of Youth, I think he's aiming a little too low. You know you're completely sick when you act as a 12-year old just to get in with other 12-year olds at school. It took two years and no red flags went up that he was twice the students age! There were teachers younger than him! Prior to this he served six years in prison for trying to have sex with a 6-year old, so you know he has his mind together. This might be the first person ever to get a fake ID for YOUNGER than he actually is. My vote for Story of the Year.

Janitor accused of pistol-whipping principal

Story: Oakland school janitor accused of pistol-whipping principal

Haven't we learned anything from Office Space...it's always best to fire people on Fridays to avoid any sort of incident. But I guess some people are just better at taking bad news than others. This employee had a rap sheet of criminal misconduct, and again, these are the kind of people we are letting walk in our schools each day.

High school bans purses in the classroom

Smells Like: Indiana , policy , safety

Story: High school bans purses in the classroom

The teachers were having a huge problem with the girls bringing their feminine hygiene products to class with them. I assume this new policy also includes handbags and fanny packs as well. It is good to see schools tackling the real issues.

Boy suspended for using broken pencil sharpener

Smells Like: idiocy , safety , South Carolina

Story: Boy suspended for using broken pencil sharpener

What is more dangerous? A gun or a pencil? A gun has to be concealed. A pencil can inflict major damage to vital organs, causing blindness, severe bleeding or death. Not to mention the damage a pencil can do when in the hands of a student no afraid to write..

From the article:

"We're always going to do something to make sure the child understands the seriousness of having something that could potentially harm another student.."

Top 10 Things That could potentially harm another student:

lose leaf paper (cuts)
email viruses
scissors
hard candy (choking)
iPods (deafness, choking)
knuckles
a banana peel
mats in the wrestling room
Hanna Montana t-shirts
senseless policy enforced mindlessly

Boy suspended for using broken pencil sharpener

Smells Like: panic , safety , South Carolina , weird

Story: Island fourth grader suspended for using broken pencil sharpener

FACT: Pencil sharpeners are allowed in schools. FACT: All pencil sharpeners have a blade in them. FACT: You cannot write with a broken pencil. THEORY: We are teaching kids that nothing they do is correct, and will face discipline for behaving as normal students. FACT: This could have been avoided by giving every student a laptop.

Two Women Accused of Kidnapping First Grader

Story: Two Women Accused of Kidnapping First Grader

They took the kid to prove a point how unsafe the schools are. Well, you made your case...there are plenty of nut-jobs like yourselves that are willing to kidnap kids from school property. The right thing to do would be bringing him to the front office, but instead they put themselves into a position to be facing criminal charges. But when it's all said and done, maybe they were on to something?

Student Suspended in Peanut Butter Bullying Case

Smells Like: allergy , bully , health , peanuts , safety , washington

Story: Washington High School Student Suspended in Peanut Butter Bullying Case

Kill them with protein, that's what we always said. But seriously, if you haven't been around kids in a while then it is news to you that tons of them are somehow allergic to peanuts nowadays. So wiping peanut butter on a child with this allergy, is the equivalent to poisoning them with cyanide. Who would have thought lunch time can be the most dangerous place in schools?

Girl raped after driver kicked her off school bus

Smells Like: bus , Illinois , law , safety , sex , summer school

Story: Lawsuit: Girl raped after driver kicked her off school bus

This is how we handle discipline problems...by forcing kids to walk through rough neighborhoods by themselves. I am guessing these students will think twice now about acting up on the bus. I think it's about time we put bus drivers through a crash course(not literally) training about how to perform their jobs properly. I gonna assume the the protocal for disruptive behavior is NOT emptying the bus out when the driver becomes overwelmed.

High School lockers stuffed with dead animals

Smells Like: animals , California , pranks , weird

Story: Dublin High School lockers stuffed with dead animals

We're going to keep in eye on this school to see what sort of pranks they have up their sleeves all year. Although it does seem a bit grotesque to fill your lockers with decomposing cats and dogs. It was the smell that finally gave it away. It wasn't the swarms of flies or vultures that have been hanging out in the school hallways for over two weeks now.

Teacher gets 7 years for child porn possession

Smells Like: computers , Kansas , law , sex , teachers , trouble

Story: Art teacher gets 7 years for child porn possession

Another one bites the dust. He only had 4,000 images and videos of kiddie porn at home...while he was working around children! After begging to be sent to juvenile detention, the judge thought it would be in everyone's best interest to expose him for the creep he is. And the students were always wondering why he encouraged nude sculpting in class?
