To be honest there are way too many people who overreact and are paranoid when the students make noises and what not. Another example of the craziness in American schools today. Sad to see it happen.

Americans have been obsessed with what is 'profitable' rather than what is 'right' for a long time now.
The worship of money has destroyed many a civilizations in the past. So I won't be surprised if that is the case for US also.
The worship of money makes a man a monster as he starts justifying evil means via distorted religious and social beliefs. It always starts with people in positions of power and then spreads to the whole society - and all people lose their sense of right and wrong. The eternal and true values of family life, social life and spiritual life are destroyed and replaced with a show of wealth.
The worst part is that 'worship of money' corrupts the soldiers and takes away their will to fight. The nation ultimately falls due to internal dissensions and disputes if not by outright military defeat.

By the sounds of the conflicting reports the poor girl used basic chemistry to form a very small controlled explosion and wasn't endangering anyone.
Back when i was at college in 2005 my crazy friend and i carefully spread out and lit 2 lb's of gun powder in the smoking area. The whole college was covered in smoke for about 5 mins. After they found out we were the perpetrators we got a slap on the wrist and told it was a silly thing to do. After which we went and lit up a fat one on the cricket pitch and the caretaker came and joined us.
I hate to repeat others words but really! What's the world coming too?

wrong .
This is endemic in our schools.
Example just this monday.
My son was introduced to a kid he had never know . At lunch that kid (we will call him James) tried to trip my son. when my son confronted James James's friend grabbed my son by the back of the shirt and threw my son into the fence . James then proceed to attack my son.
So ,as told to me by the principle, my son was jumped by 2 students for no good reason that has yet come to light ( these are teens)
My son was promptly arrested along with the other 2 students and taken to a juvinile detention center. Where I was told he may be charged with bullying and was suspended for ten days.
This system that has been instituuted is broken . Its everywhere . Not just this isolated case.edit on 2-5-2013 by Another_Nut because: (no reason given)
