hey you think if I send my kid to school she will get expelled?that is rediculous.astma at first may not seem so serious, but it can take a person down quick and they may seem just fine...if a person is diabetic and they "appear"ok.does it mean they are, no.these school districts take some things too far....a friend of mine got suspended for putting a sewing needle thru his pencil eraser in sewing class...because it was considered a dealy weapon, and than he was taken to juvinille for it...how many times has a person done that out of bordom in sewing class?ya think if I left the sewing needle in the oven mits I made, they could arrest me for a dealy weapon, and send me to jail for making a bomb if the pilot light on a gas stove blows out by accident, ya know sewing needles and gas ovens are a deadly combo I saw it on a movie once, gas ovens are baaaaaaad,hehe.  |

people have no common sense anymore. it takes common sense to run a zero policy and i can't tell you how many articles there has been like this where the policy is the policy period, no exceptions, to the point of stupidity. look at what we are breeding, stupidity. what message does this give our children?  |

Thats just insane!!! Wouldn't they have done the same thing if they were in the boyfriend's shoes??? Hairbear....Are you serious? That's so stupid as well! I think that I remember hearing that some kids got suspended or something because a student gave another student some cough medican. Like those Hall candys.  |

That is just plain stupid. It's not like he was giving her cocaine or something. Since it was medication that she took anyway, I don't see the big deal. He was being helpful and shouldn't be punished.  |

dumb dumb dumb....zero tolerence policies don't allow for circumstances and they are dumb...my son got suspended from school for three days because he picked up a 6 inch nail left over from construction that was on the playground. Why? Because he had a deadly weapon. In 3rd grade. pulllease. Peace  |

WOW! That is terrible. I can share a similar story about that. In gym and when I tried out for volleyball, but of course didn't make it, both my teacher and the coach heard me wheezing because I get exercise-induced asthma, but isn't bad enough for medicine. Well, you always have to run over a dozen laps each day, in both gym and the stupid volleyball try-outs, so when I was running, I was wheezing and each on of them heard me and said..keep on running..you can do it..just breathe in and out..one way through your nose and the other through your mouth..don't stop otherwise you can leave..well I ran it and OMG..I thought I was going to die..I wheezed for like 15 minutes afterwards..It was no fun! Couldn't tell anyone because no one was around. Talk about unfair! What would happen if I did have an emergency attack, they would let me die or what?
Talk about school rules that suck!  |

This reminds me of the Midol incident where a girl gave her friend a couple of Midol tabs at school, and she got into trouble just like this poor kid. She was charged with stupid crap as well the "controled substance" gig, although I don't see how something that can be bought over the counter would fall into that category. Zero tolerance should pertain to street/illegal drugs, only, not legit meds.  |

What ever happened to common sense. The people running our schools should have the highest levels of common than anyone. When school officials display such lack of common sense and decide to make such mountains out of mole hills for the sake of rules then something should be done about it. All incidents like this should be looked at on a case by case basis, rules are good but sometimes there are needs for exceptions, i think this is one of those cases. |

This is ridiculous! yes its dangerous drug,"to people who are not prescribed to it", they share the same condition that requires that same medication and saving a life use to be more important than the rules.  |

This is so ridiculous and really should be dropped. Asthma attacks can become severe in a matter of minutes and it takes about 15 minutes for the medicine to work. By the time the nurse decided it might be a serious attack, it might be too late for the medicine to even have time to work. The boy did the right thing, the school did not.  |

This is ridiculous, that was clearly an exception to that no-tolerance rule. That nurse and all the other nitwits that are condemning that young guy for his good deed need to open their eyes and quit acting out of idiocity.  |

All they are doing is discouraging others in taking the necessary measures that are needed to be made for the greater good. Can't they think?-Would they rather her die, than have her bf do what he did? This reminds me of a guy who was shot here in Chicago....He must have been not too far from Ravenswood Hospital because he staggered himself there, but only got as far as the front of the hospital. The doctors were notified, but refused to treat him because of some policy (I'm not sure, but something about them not supposed to treat people unless they voluntary went INSIDE for treatment or they or someone else called the ambulance to pick them). The result of their bad judgement (not to mention callousness and thoughtlessness) resulted in the young man's death. I'm also not absolutely sure, but I think his death resulted in the changing of that policy. Is that what it takes for people to use their brains sometimes, the death of someone?!?! |

If he were in Arkansas, that wouldn't happen because we have good samaritan laws that protect anyone that was trying to help. |
