Damn school policy gone fooking nuts

[Nameless]

Seriously, they should have just confiscated his combo for a day or two to remind him how he can't do it, lend it back after school with a strong warning that next time there will be suspension and that is it, it's not like if he did bring a Rambo knife with him or anything, just a swiss combo, I think it's easier to hurt somebody with a metal lunch box than with such knifes.

The SIMPLE explination of this is that School Officials/Administrators want policies that they don't want to have to make a judgement call on. The less you have to think about whether or not to punish someone then the easier it is for them. Also from a risk standpoint if you let this slide (in their minds) perhaps he brings the knife back to school and stabs everyone.

Either way all that was needed was someone to just have the balls to make a decision by themself instead of going by the book and being a damned bureaucrat.
