Now if that is not "supporting the site" in the most classical sense then I don't know...

Oh, don't worry about Page 1A stuff. If I'm the editor doing the page that night, I'll stick you on an inside Nation Page. But I can't vouch for my fellow editors across this great big planet of ours.

You need to use a push/pull strategy.

What you want is to get back in school. You can and should use publicity as a weapon against the school. But if there is a face-saving way to just apologize and slime back into school, you should do that.

So I would hit them hard...with the publicity and political pressure.* but be willing to throw in the outrage if they will let you back in. That is the smart way to play it.

It sounds like the principle is technically right, but you've got some mitigating factors in terms of
-spentness of the round
-Sunday
-going in to HELP A TEACHER
-perfect record before this.

So I think a tough fight them attitude...followed by a negotiated apology will get you back in.


*Parents need to call/fax letters to school board and representatives.

Im going with my parents to talk the principal tommorow, and see what happens. I'll keep you informed.

[Ecthy]

Ves, just go on a shooting rampage. That'll teach them.

No, do something now. We want to tell people we know you starting Monday. If you don't open negotiations right away, than it could take until Tuesday or Wensday before you get TV interviews.

[Vesayen]

Heh I'll come back to school tommorow with my ONE useless bullet, no gun and throw it at every student in the school! Muahaha! lol.

[Ecthy]

[Vesayen]

Do you think anyone would care if you knew me online heh?

[Asher]

For some of these people it'll be the highlight of their lives.

[Ecthy]

[Apocalypse]

We wouldn't say that we just knew you. We helped you through this horrible situation and convinced you to go forward.

There isn't really anyone I could tell that would be interested right now though.

[Vesayen]

So the highpoint of your life would be telling your friends that you covinced someone who got suspended by an idiot administrator to go to the media heh ?

You get a week off of school (with two to go) for a bull**** charge that will look like a bull**** charge to anybody who reads it, and you're *****ing about it?

#1. It's no big deal. Unless you have a history of offenses, but if it is your first, it is no big deal.

#2. Do you realize how little people will care about what happened in high school when you start interviewing? The odds are that you will never, ever have to bring this up in most any discussion you will have about graduating high school, and I bet that when you discuss it, it will be voluntary on your part - it'll lend you cache.

So don't worry about it and enjoy your week off. Ask your principal if he can defer the sentence to next week though... what do you have to lose? Another week?

The highpoint of my life would be all of the chicks I get afterwards for being a hero in the situation.
