6-Year old suspended - camping utensil?

YEah that's eff'd up. I heard recently about a teenage girl who got the "ban on drugs" rules applied to her for taking her birth control pill at school.

It's sad that there has to be a need for such strict rules.

That being said, I don't think a parent shoudl be giving a kid a swiss army knife at 6 to take to school. I think I got my first knife at 9, a rather large lock blade buck knife, that I still have. I knew enough to not to take it to school though.

Just a thought,,,,, most 6 year olds when I was a 6 year old carried knives. No problems.

Well,
Looks like Zachary is on his way back to school.
The board met last night and changed their policy.
Kids are now subject to a 3 to 5 day suspension and possible counseling with parents present.

What does this show? To me, that folks can get nuts sometimes and not see the forest for the trees. They make rules intended to do well but can't see the rules are flawed. Also shows if folks are outraged and speak up, things do change.

Glad to hear this little guy is on his way back to his regular school and friends and was not exposed to reform school.

He is a Boy Scout and that is how he got it.
Mother didn't know he took it to school.
