Entire Class Suspended for Food Fight

isn't this a holiday for the entire class? there were two good food fights my senior year...anyone have any good food fight stories?

no cafeteria = no food fights.
we left rotten sandiwches in people's desks though.

"So check this out... not only did we NOT have to clean it up, we got a day off!"

 

[purbeast0]

yea thats awesome! if i knew i woulda had a few days off of school, i woulda started more food fights!

 

[UglyCasanova]

We never had food fights.

Ewww. . . "Meat loaf day."

Surprised they did that, considering the financial loss they'll have to take for 637 students not showing up.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Not very cool. I would have taken some other measure. If you punish everyone, you don't have the power of singling out a few. That means that the kids won't feel as punished and they'll be able to explain to their parents that they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Heh.

I'm not really sure how anyone would truely respond to that... You have basically the whole school going nuts. Is he really going to take the time to meet all 600+ parents?

On the other hand, it WAS meatloaf day...

 

[yhelothar]

They'll probably just send letters to all the parents.

637 students is the entire school, which is grades 6-8. There are probably only about 200 8th graders.

looks like spoiled kids!

"Given an opportunity first to apologize for their behavior and help with the cleanup, most of the class refused to cooperate," school spokesman Vince McGaskill said.

That right there is reason for suspension. I would have then asked these kids parents to clean it up.

thats dumb... there was a huge food fight two years ago at my old school, they didnt do anything dumb like suspend an entire class, they just looked on the tapes from the cameras and saw who started it, suspending an entire class accomplishes nothing but giving them a few days off

"Principal Jada Meeks suspended students who were in the cafeteria during the fight" Screw around and get a day off.... I agree that this is a really weak punishment.
