If This was Prosecuted, Would YOU Be in Jail??

[DawnCt1]

I will admit it. At some point in my life, I wrote on my desk. I know I must have added my name to the names of the other students that had gone before me; unless I had a brand new desk. I would have never written on a brand new desk. I guess if I were in school today, my parents would be raising bail money. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_095170448.html

I really don't remember- I must have at some point.

What I find AMAZING is how much the schools are abdicating, (make the kid clean the desk for God's sake) and turning over to the police. More common sense, just being flushed down the drain.

No, I never did. But I did feed my boyfriend's (who is now my DH) roommate Alpo tacos. He thought they were delicious . Glad I didn't do it in Tennessee though -- it's against the law here.

Make them wash all the desks even.... for crying out loud it's a desk...not the side of the building.

I think you should stop running Dawn, and turn yourself in. You might be behind bars but you could finally sleep at night without wondering if that car door late at night is your old school principal, tracking you down at last.


As for that poor girl, total bs and overeaction. Should not have happened.

Yup! I wrote on the desk and then erased it if there was anything incriminating (like my name). Everyone wrote on the desks. If you got caught in middle school you had to go get the bucket and wash every desk in the classroom.
Wow, handcuffs. That's just not right.

I remember in Jr High, if the teacher caught you, you would be cleaning all the desks on your lunch break or after school. If you carved in the desk (or any pernmanent damage) your parents would be called.

But police action? I do not think so.

 

[tiggersmom2]

I lightly wrote "answers" (or what I thought the answers might be) on the desk before I took a test ....but tried to erase them afterwards.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I used to write on my desk.

I have always HATED that four letter word. You all know the one. I used to change it to BOOK! I STILL HATE that word. Do you think my principal is still alive??? I used to see my English teacher, who was old when I was in school, at Stop and Shop.

 

[Beth76]

Wow that's ridiculous. Dentention sure. But arrested? That's insane.

You mean they should be more liberal with their punishments, instead of more conservative???

 

[yeartolate]

Am I the only one that wonders if there is more to the story.

 

[JadenLayne]

Yep I sure did and my name is still there in all it's glory.........except now my SON is in that class. He tells everyone that's my mom's name on the desk, LOL!

Oh and there is still a stain in the biology lab where we blew up something or other.

 

[Cool-Beans]

We weren't allowed to write on our desks.

Besides that, we were responsible for keeping our desks clean and would have had to clean it anyway.

Arresting a child for writing on a desk is insane. When you have to call in men with guns to deal with the kids, you have lost.

 

[DISUNC]

This got to be the MOST Ridiculous thing I ever read!
Even if the 13 year old wrote on a dozen desks...STILL no reason to handcuff & arrest her!

What would the Cops do to Kilroy??????

ps....I'd probably be doing Life now

 

[I'mNoPrince]

In HS during Machine shop I made all these little T's about an inch big.

I welded and superglued all over the school up in high places on lockers and so forth. Heck I drove a go-cart through the halls after building it and never got into trouble.

 

[goofygirl]

I would have been arrested many times over. I was a chronic doodler in school and would draw on my books and the desk. And I still managed to grow up, get a degree and a career.
