I help out at my Temple's snack shop during the week, and this sixth grade girl told me how she got suspended for kicking a guy in the face. Her reason? He was an asshole. I'm sure there's more to it than that, though.
Funny thing is, back in my day, I was in a fight with a guy who tried to steal something of mine. I inadvertantly(sp?) stabbed him in the thumb with a pencil, and he punched me. Our punishment? One weeks In School suspension.
Sad how far punishments have come...
