[quote]Should have said "rigid and smiling"  - the smile increases the menace as its not a real smile.  He isnt happy, he isnt engaged in some joyful pursuit.  That "smile" also sends a message, and not a nice one.  Srriously, anyone who understands normal social clues can understand the teenager's message.[/quote]

[quote]Agree completely. The kid's behavior is not respectful. [/quote]

So here's the thing, folks.

It's YOUR interpretation of a smile.

So . . .  a smile doesn't land you in jail.

lol - You wouldn't last a day teaching HS students.  [/quote]

Yes. People who lack social graces shouldn’t be jailed. But not being a crime does not make it any less disrespectful. And we can agree to disagree. No need to resort to attacks and insults. [/quote]

DP.  So what would you have preferred?  You’re outraged that Sandman smiled, remained silent, and maintained eye contact with Phillips.  Would you have preferred he scowl and shout obscenities?  Why is it, exactly, you think this kid should have done after Phillips made a beeline for him, chanting and drumming in his face, in a clear attempt to intimidate Sandman?  Do tell.[/quote]

Walk away and take the "high road" if he really believed he was being confrontational or was fearful (here's a hint: he didn't think that). That's the problem when you waltz into town on your religious/moral high horse, dictating how other people should act: people expect you to act like it and not just when it's convenient. Big fail on that kid and that school for not teaching or preparing them better on that front. [/quote]
