The highest punishment is expulsion.

And its more of a long-term thing. BEing suspended/expelled can really ruin you in the long run.

Cuz you probably weren't thinking outside the box.

My Middle School would punish me for "fighting" [in reality, it was self-defense] by making me miss classes that I hated.

flawed logic

-Aelita-

I had that exact issue. But I found that if I could just say it in a polite way, then it tends to work. After all, if I'm in school, I can just complain if they punish me for thinking.

I think that's for the benefit of everyone else, not for your punishment. XD

The thing I never understood, is why is it illegal (as in, you get JAIL-time, budday) to even ASK questions about a holocaust perpetrated against one people, while there's many holocausts that dwarf it in sheer numbers?

Like... why? Since when is gaining knowledge of something on your own "bad"?

I understand if you're like building a super particle collider to understand rare atomic structures... you might start a catastrophic explosion. But JUST asking questions or being firm in the pursuit of scientific research to prove specifics to a world-changing event?

Insanity.

That's ILLEGAL?

Madness.

I guess...I don't know why they think they're punishing people by forcing them to stay home from school. Kinda backwards, innit?

Some teachers at my school go into apocalyptic shock if I/someone suggests something that they haven't thought of.

Also, why is talking, the sharing of original ideas (thereby expanding your mind with new content, aka the point of education), a bad thing at school?
