i heard it was on yahoo, although it didn't see it when I checked last

 

 

i find it kind of stupid to be honest, there not doing it for religious reasons there doing it to imitate the guy, which is ok, but they were blocking hallways and causing a fire hazard which in my opinion is unnecessary, they didn't need to go that far to imitate tebow.

 

 

so now everyone here knows what school i go to... creepy lol

That's actually pretty wierd by those who suspended them. Getting up in a case of fire isn't too hard.

lol! That's one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a while.

LOL Long Island

That's a pretty weird story.

A suspension seems a little harsh to me, like that guy said they could have been reprimanded another way.

Oh our school systems.

 

This is why I don't like it.

 

NO PRAYING. BAD STUDENTS.

[Lyra Heartstrings1 53]

Wow, that's a bit harsh, suspension? Jeeze...

A kid at my school got suspended for bringing a plastic butter knife to school.

Now that's just silly.

Schools need to ease off a bit with those kinds of things. I mean, what could the kid have done with a plastic knife ?

 

And is it bad that I had never heard of Tebowing before this?

its funny, its the new planking basically, because Tebow is really religious, thats how he prays, weird.

some guy at my school did NOT get suspended for stabbing a student with a pencil. whereas other schools its a miracle you are even allowed to bring pencils. school policies differ too much these days. that is the kinda Video that makes people like me go like "wtf is wrong with some schools?"

 

oh and seriously? Fire hazard? I find it hard to believe they wouldn't start running if they heard the fire alarm. and for the blocking the hallway part. just walk straight trough them. if they show the insolence of mentioning it. just look down at them and give them a face that says "grow up will ya".

If I was in charge of the school. I would have suspended them for following an internet trend... but I'm just grumpy.

Even my whole post is just shouting grumpy.

While suspension for that alone is ridiculous, maybe those teenagers were already trouble makers, and their previous deeds is what helped stack up to suspension? That's the only way I find this reasonable in the slightest.

Probably, I'm sure they had done something prior that made this the last straw.

[D1SC0RD 987]

Rediculous. I have nothing more to say.

Holy hell dude, that video is great!

I think a suspension is a bit much for something like that. If it's really such a big issue, why not just give them detention rather than taking them out of class where they might actually learn something?

 

I did a lot of stuff worse than that and never got suspended for it.

[Evilshy 5,093]

All I can say is that I'm glad not to be in the public school system anymore XD

 

And seriously, we got away with way worse stuff at my school. Well, earlier in my high school years. Junior year, we got a new, uptight principal and school wasn't as fun anymore :/

In high school, I almost got suspended. I wasn't feeling well for reasons I won't give specific details about, and a friend gave me a Pamprin. A teacher saw and said we were doing drugs! What a dupe! He called my mom, and I thought she was going to hit him. It was actually pretty cool! I also thought he was going to start crying when my mom told him EXACTLY what Pamprin was for!
