Reply #11: My son is an honor student, in the top ten in his class, never so much as had [View All]

detention for ANYTHING, is never tardy...nothing.

Last year he and some of his uber-geek friends were discussing the mob mentality and how the average person reacts to various things. As a 'social experiment', at the end of lunch, they started to head out the doors of the cafeteria and two of them yelled "FIGHT!" Immediately the cafeteria emptied into the courtyard.

Ok, I am not excusing any of it. It was a phenomenally stupid thing to do. He and his friends were nearly arrested, were kept under the watch of the school's policeman for over three hours, received a one day out of school suspension and a permanent black mark on their school record. These four kids are the top four condenders to be valedictorian next year. None of these kids had ever been in trouble before. It was only due to hysteria on my part that they didn't arrest them. This will most likely effect my son's ability to get a scholarship.

The reason? They have a zero tolerance policy for people who incite a riot.
