bloomberg.com — Tyler Stoken was a well-behaved fourth grader who enjoyed school, earned A?s and B?s and performed well on standardized tests. So why was he suspended for a week after refusing to answer a question on the Washington State Assessment of Student Learning Exam?

My school tried to do something similar to me. The whole staff hated me. My parents had gotten phone calls from school about me getting into fights a few times when I wasn't even at school that day. But that's another story. This one is about a short story I wrote for English in 6th grade. It was about a mother and her daughter who lived in a trailer park. The mother asked her daughter to bring her a beer. The daughter told the mom that they're not allowed to say beer because it's against the school policy. She said beer a couple more times and the school's head office called them and told them to stop. They didn't. In the end the office guys started saying beer themselves. The school was pissed. Really, really, really pissed. I got a 0 on the paper, and they almost expelled me. Good times.

That stinks. You'd get kicked to death by the school governers and the school partents body here if you tried that over here.

@fredericLook at Nov. 8th lunch option... Peanut butter and Jam??? around here peanut butter is a forbidden lunch food because so many kids are deathly allergic to peanuts. I can't imagine it being on a cafeteria menu.

The kid's first impressions were right -- his principal is, at best, a witch.
