I think it may be time to hit some range balls without getting into the exercise of applying the best word to define this failed professional application of law, discretion, taxpayer money and, downright common sense!!
ReplyDeleteIt was probably a plastic butter knife too...
ReplyDeleteWow. As long as the office had the knife while knife was not in use, and student was observed cutting the cake, than i don't know what the problem is.
ReplyDeleteYael. You know as well as I do that while they were shaking down the "Cup-Cake Killer Princess" the REAL troublemakers were hiding their guns... ;)
ReplyDeleteI had something similar happen last year. My Daughter's French class was preparing a French dinner and each child was supposed to take something, my daughter took in a loaf of French bread, my husband gave her a knife to take in to cut it, a couple of hours into the school day the French teacher called me in a panic asking me to meet her in the school parking lot so she could hand it over w/out my daughter or myself getting into trouble.
