Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

You would think that teachers and administrators in the educational system would have to undergo psyche tests in order to weed out those people who just want the power trip over children.

It seems that the "educational system" focuses more on false threats than education itself. I remember being suspended in first grade for making a "bow and arrow" out of paperclips and rubberbands, another time for bringing spray-able hand sanitizer.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -
6-year-old suspended after pointing at classmate in shape of gun
http://www.krdo.com/news/6yearold-su...f-gun/31597538
Quote:
A Colorado Springs first-grader was suspended from school after pointing his fingers at a classmate in the shape of a gun.
Six-year-old Elijah goes to Stratton Meadows Elementary School. On Monday, he pointed at a classmate in the shape of a gun and said, "You're dead."
According to his behavior report, an administrator spoke with him about what being dead means and about not confusing "make-believe" or things in games with reality. And he received a one-day suspension for threats against peers.
"I know they have zero tolerance, but more of a maybe no recess," his dad, Austin Thurston said. "Going as far as a one-day suspension is a little extreme for a six-year-old in a first-grade class."
A spokesperson for Harrison School District 2, which Stratton Meadows is a part of, couldn't give specifics about the case, because it's part of the student's personal record. But she said school administrators feel they issued the appropriate disciplinary action.
She also said school staff speaks with students and parents before a suspension, and they consider current as well as previous behaviors.
Elijah has been at the school since January. His dad said while he had minor behavioral incidents in his previous school, this was the first time he got in trouble at Stratton Meadows.
"Of course I think he was playing," Thurston said. "What six-year-old doesn't play cops and robbers, or cowboys and Indians?"
Thurston said he and his wife have spoken with the boy about guns.
"We just told him there's a time and a place for everything, and we told him school is never a place for that. We let him know that the guns in the wrong hands will be very dangerous," he said. "He knows the difference between really doing that, and just putting your finger up and saying, 'boom you're dead.' We made sure he understands the severity of what he said."
Although the school didn't require it, Elijah is writing an apology letter to the school, stating he understands his actions.

Are you f'n kidding me?! I remember being a kid and playing cops & robbers, or Sheriff & bad guys... AT SCHOOL. Heck our teachers even had toy guns & handcuffs for us to play with during recess.
Gun safety was part of school teachings. I guess that was part of the joys of growing up in a small town that lets you have days off from school to go hunting, skiing, fishing... And we had a rodeo & hunting club.
I guess you couldn't do that now a days with the freaking oversensitive people in this world. UGH! I hate how things are changing. This is getting ridiculous. Kids can't even be kids... :-(
