To say I was irritated when I read about these two unrelated incidents is a gross understatement,and to think that the people that are making these rules are in charge of educating the children of today is equally upsetting.
A 14 year old male student in Wales, was punished for violating the dress code against shaved heads. What was not taken into consideration was he was helping raise money for an anti-cancer charity after a third relative of his got cancer. I was surprised to learn that the rule was in place at all,but that is beside the point.
The students of his school staged a walk out until he was allowed to return to school,showing possibly that they had more sense and compassion that the officials.
In a Massachusetts High School a honor student and Volleyball captain was punished for giving a drunk classmate a ride home. The girl was clean and sober,but her action violated the school's zero tolerance attitude toward alcohol,never thinking that it might result in the drunk teen getting behind the wheel and driving.
