So this happened at a local high school today

[vraiblonde]

14 year old girl faked a school threat so she could say she was scared and stay home from school.



Shew!

I hope they give her a stern talking to, then drop the charges. Pretty sure being arrested and publicly humiliated will make her think things through in the future.

In the 70s, when I was in high school, kids would call in bomb threats to avoid a test.

In going thru paper stuff at my Aunt's, found a newspaper from 1963.

2 bomb threats at Great Mills High.

So, nothing new.

But it never happened.

One time at a high school where I lived, the kid got caught because he used the pay phone across the street - and a teacher saw him from the teacher’s lounge.

When I was a kid we just didn't show up, then had a girlfriend write a note with an excuse.

My friend and I tried to call each other in sick, saying we were our moms. Don't you know that was the only day of my life that my mom called the school to have them give me a message.

Where the teacher was token up on a number.

That reminds me my middle school had a bank of payphones right on the outside wall of the admin/office building. $0.10 a call, but it was worth it to call the office number, yell something like "Ms. Haney is a bitch!" and then run away laughing as the secretary runs outside to try and see who made the call.

Shew!

I hope they give her a stern talking to,

Come on now. You will hurt her self esteem.

Somehow, they need to find a way to blame society, maybe the legacy of Europeans ruining things.
