And to think, in the 60's and probably into the 70's, many schools had rifle classes to learn basic marksmanship.

My buddies from the country that I went to SIU with (graduated in '07) told me they use to go to high school with loaded rifles in their gun racks in case they ran into their trophy buck on the way to or from school. And it's not like they were hidden either.

Sorry not arguing semantics. With parents or students.

All parents say their children are honor roll or straight A students. The school can not say otherwise.

Just like the kid with the shotgun in the truck off school property was an angel. The street he was parked on bisected the school property and he also had numerous infractions such as racial slurs towards teachers.

uhhm..not seeing how this relates to this instance? Sure, school rules say no "guns/weapons or look-alikes"...when does following shit to the letter stop though?? How would they have responded to him using a wadded up piece of paper to use with the lego guy and imagine it was a gun, since it would technically look like the form of a gun? I can understand why a kid with a REAL shotgun in his truck would get in trouble, but not seeing ANY correlation between the two, not to mention the age difference between this and your example above.

It stops when people stop trying to get around it. How many times did you play semantics with your teachers?

The other case was to point out that what the parents say is not always the case.

eh, not too much until my junior/senior year :jester..although i don't see how the no gun/look-alike rule could be interpreted any differently, or how arguing about how it was handled is arguing semantics?

Still.. sure, he should get reprimanded for it since it is against the rules (and would teach him a little about making sure to know them), but to the extreme of almost getting suspended for it is a little much, especially with the age taken into consideration :2cents:

Although I do agree that parents (or most) see their kids as angels, and an honor roll student could still be as bat-shit insane as anyone else. Didn't notice the comment you were responding to while skimming through.

I just shake my head at this stuff.

Hell if I got caught for all the shit we pulled just in middle school, I'd be locked up for life by today's standards. :lmao:
