School rules are pretty much bullshit. I guess people under 18 aren't yet people so sorry, no rights for you. I'm all for getting a good education but things get a little extreme. At the high school I went to, and probably most others, they say that the students are their responsibility until they get home, while that could be a good thing I've never seen it used as such. I've seen people suspended for things they did miles away from school on their own time. I almost got suspended myself because in my senior year, after turning 18, I was smoking a cigarette on my way to school and a teacher saw me. Left my cigs in the car when I got there and locked the doors but apparently the principal felt kids were willing to break into my car to get at my cigs because every minor is instantly addicted to cigarettes with one glance. It was complete bullshit but ultimately the fact that I was 18 and can charm the shit out of anybody got my punishment down to a warning if I promised I would tell my parents, lmfao, they knew I smoked, I was fuckin 18. I promised I'd never bring cigarettes on school grounds again and started putting them in the glove compartment before school. Point being, if schools are that hard on legal substances in the possession of somebody of age to have them think of how bad they must be on illegal drugs. If schools spent half the money they spend disciplining the kids on teaching them then maybe America wouldn't be so red, white and retarded.
