[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did she get detention for walking out?

Or did she get detention for not coming back in or for skrewing arpund instead of peacefully protesting?

I would go on a fact finding mission before raising hell at the school.[/quote]

90 kids walked out. They stood quietly in front of the school for 17 minutes under supervision of school administrators. They were brought to the cafeteria and told they had to be punished. They could choose three lunch detentions, Saturday school or one after school detention. They are required to write an essay (mine will compare and contrast LCPS handling of today with neighboring districts.)

In other fact-finding news, I have determined that you are a twat.[/quote]

NP to this thread who did not read past page 1, so not sure if this has been addressed.

I'm assuming students were advised beforehand that walking out would be against school policy --but admin would be available to supervise and ensure the safety of students in the event they left the building???? They likely also warned students there would be consequences. In that case, no one should be surprised. Some school districts tacitly supported others did not. Your child needs to learn to follow the rules or face the consequences. And she must follow the rules of HER school district--not mine. Just as we can't arbitrarily decide to follow the laws of other countries that seem more palpable to us.

I think the school was as fair as they can be by offering slap on the wrist choices.

[b]If your child walked out and ended up being injured in some way, what then????[/[/b]quote]

Exactly.  Schools get in trouble if a kid leaves with a non-custodial parent instead of getting on the school bus--and you think it acceptable to walk out?[/quote]
