Student Suspended For Blessing...

A high school senior was reportedly suspended for saying "bless you" when another student sneezed :

Saw that. I guess she should have said, "Don't blow your Ebola on us." That would have been just fine.
 
Try saying, "You are soooo good looking." instead.

Seems that there's two different stories, so there needs to be an investigation. But if the teacher did and said what the student claims, here's another one who needs a smack down. The list of forbidden words that is aledgedly posted in the classroom throws up red flags.
 
In school suspension for the remaining portion of the class is not the same as being suspended. Just wanted to point out that the headline is a bit misleading, though that seems the norm lately. (That is typically used as to not send a student back to a class where there might have been an issue. I did not see where it stated she was suspended or had to serve ISS for longer than the remanding time in the class, after she had been to the office. It could not have been for long and since there seems to be a discrepancy of what actually happened, I am sure it was best for both the student to not have to go back in there and the teacher to not have her back.)

I can not imagine why "bless you" would be an issue as many say it, and goodness it is the south, everyone no matter what their religion is uses it. :))

I do think, from other reports, there are banned or words not to use in this teachers class. I am not sure of the reasoning or if it was allowed by the administration. :dunno

I had heard about ISS a few years ago when I filled in at a school, but it's a lot different from when I was in school. Our punishment was called detention and we had to stay after school. I only had it once, but I know I sure dreaded it. Dude kept giving me "flat tires" on the playground and I got tired of it and dropped him like a bad habit.

My thoughts are that ISS is not effective punishment. Heck, some probably love it to get out of class. Sure, the ISS teacher can tell them to study, but they can't make them.

They must have done away with after school detention because parents had to go out of their way and pick the kid up since they would miss the bus. Oh, well. Maybe they should train their kids to behave better :dunno

You are correct. You understand the difference in ISS and OSS. :) Many do try to get it to get out of class. Most all teachers think that ISS is a joke.
 
I got ISS in high school, once. I don't remember why, but it couldn't have been for anything too horrible. I do remember writing notes, to be passed to my friends in class, while in there. :))

back when I was in high school ISS was in a trailer. Each desk had a 3 little cubicle type walls around it. There was a line in the floor and your chair had to remain on the inside of that line at all times. You were not allowed to speak unless you raised your hand and were acknowledged. They brought your lunch to you and you ate in silence. You were allowed 2 bathroom breaks a day. At least that is what my friends who had it told me :))

I never took ISS, I just took at home suspension :)) :))

lol yep that was me...but I can assure you the punishment I had to deal with at home was worse than ISS lol I hate enclosed spaces so I couldn't deal with ISS so when I had a nice 3 day vacation at home my mom found plenty of work for me to do during school hours to keep me busy. It only happened twice then I finally learned to keep my smart mouth shut and my fist to myself :))

That is what kept me out of trouble! (or at least never caught ;) ) I was terrified of the unknown, what would my parents do if I was in trouble? I did not know and did not want to find out. :))

Honestly, I can't remember anything I would've done to land in there. Whatever it was, it had to pretty vanilla because I was terrified of getting into trouble (and my dad finding out...lol).

Yeah whatever.... whether she served ISS or OSS is irrelevant. This student was
robbed of her instructional time by a teacher with an ignorant stick up her butt...
