Definitely an over reaction by the school and I’m glad to see that calmer heads prevailed and he was reinstated.

Wow, that’s crazy. Things have really changed since I was in school. If we brought something to school we were supposed to, it was confiscated. (Never did get my little Troll doll back from Sister Theresa Rosa.)

They’re acting like these kids were dealing hardcore drugs. Hello? It’s candy. Take it away and toss it out. Be done with it.

The school in this case went way over board with the discipline.

Thanks for the update. It still irks me that it happened in the first place. Our children need positive reinforcement, not this kind of harassment. School is hard enough!

thanks for the update on the story.

It’s amazing to see how good schools do at overreacting. I can see the point of making sure rules are followed, but they do tend to get heavy handed. It is especially good to know that most of the punishment has been reversed by more level-headed people.

That has to be one of the craziest things I have read in a very long time.

Very long time.
