She didn't deserve to be arrested in the first place, and afterwards she still sentenced to needless punishement even after claiming that common sense should prevail. Hypocrisy.

"Big Brother" can be such a pain. There's simply no reason to be arrested for doodling on a desk. The world is getting more and more crazy these days. What will they arrest you for next? If you burp, you get 10 years in prison? Unbelievable.

That's her punishment for using the opportunity to write something so lame.

Hives, please refrain from using only a single emoticon to reply. Anyways, this is extremely ridiculous. I can understand the child receiving a detention, but taking such actions for such a small offense is ridiculous.

Doodling? Really? That's ridiculous. There are tons of other crimes being committed, and they're gonna bring in a girl who doodled?
But seriously, who does that "--- was here" anymore? :P

Heh, I doodle 15 minutes worth of drawings on my desks without having anything said. I must be an expert of espionage!

I do it for 40. I must be a master to the third degree.

I doodle much of my time in school, but I do so on paper, that way I can save 'em, AND not get arrested. :P

I REALLY want to see what she writes for that Essay. I'd imagine it'd be somewhere along the lines of, "Common sense is becoming more and more uncommon."

Gawd, I finally did something that could lock me up in jail.

The proper punishment for such as that the first time consists of nothing harsher than a hard backhand, followed by the words, "Don't write stupid things on school desks, and especially don't write anything that can be linked to your name even if you do. Now rub it off with your thumb and get back to learning."Erazor wrote:That's her punishment for using the opportunity to write something so lame.

It just goes to show how bad things are getting. It's bad enough the staff actually thought the offense was worse enough for notifying the police, but the fact the police apparently took it so seriously to the point of handcuffing her. Not to mention they felt to add to the punishment with "eight hours of community service, a book report and an essay on what she's learned from the experience." Sickening.

@Sykog, re: facepalm;
I could write a short book on why physical violence, while crude, works when disciplining children and should be allowed for such purposes both in home and in school, but to be laconic: it activates a very, very basic human response that, more or less, consists of "If something makes you hurt, then don't do it."
@TFF/TO, re: atrocious spelling/grammar errors;
The irony is too great to describe.
@TFF, re: punishment;
That is extreme. Like I said, a good slap, (Technically, I said backhand, but whatever.) followed by a warning would've surely sufficed.
@TO, re: thinking about consequences;
While the punishment was extreme and almost surely one she wouldn't even begin to think of if she were sane, as previously mentioned, I agree to that note.

For the record, it's not "knewed" but "knew." Secondly, they never told her of the consequences. I don't believe anyone should go into a classroom expecting to get arrested if they do anything so miniscule like doodling on a desk. Now if somebody tried to be a terrorist in school, then that would be absolutely logical to arrest that student. We're talking about doodling on a desk, people. Come on. Even if doodling on a desk is against the rules, it isn't to be treated like a federal law. She should've just been given minimal punishment, like brief detention or something like that...like it was when I was in my early days of school. Gee, now I sound old. lol

The message on a desk was a code. By deciphering it, we can determine when the bomb is going to go off.

And to be less laconic and more scientific, it is Operant Conditioning; The child does random behaviours. If the child does something which is deemed unacceptable and you give them a physical punishment of sort (the scheduled reinforcement, in proper terminology), the child soon associates doing that behaviour with that punishment and therefore avoids that behaviour.

Yes yes, but I was dumbing it down as much as possible so as to work with the possibility that some of those reading are idiots.
