High school student suspended for going to class on a remote-learning day

A Long Island high school senior is reportedly facing a five-day suspension after he ignored protocol by showing up to class Tuesday when he was scheduled to learn remotely.

“I was going to school like students should be going to school,” Maverick Stow, 17-year-old student at William Floyd High School, explained to WABC of why he attended in-person classes on the first day of school.

“I think that a five-day suspension is out of line,” Stow, who has the support of his parents, told the outlet.

Stow said trouble first arose when his first-period teacher noticed he wasn’t on Tuesday’s in-person roster.

The teacher sent Stow to the principal’s office and he was asked to report home.

“‘Well, no, I think I need to go to class. This is during class time,’” Stow said he responded to administrators.

Instead of following their orders, Stow said, he finished the day learning in class before being notified of the disciplinary action.

He felt a need, a need for in class learning.

Taking away education days is a stupid punishment.

I'm surprised the teachers did not say they saw a water gun in his house, and have him locked up

Even though it'a OVER, Democrats have a a need to control us at all costs. It's time to quit paying 75% of our tax monies to the school systems and use that money toward educating our kids with real teachers.
