What's going on in Spotsylvania County?
Its school conduct code is 40 pages! I haven't checked Upper Arlington's, so maybe they are all having this much trouble. I looked at the first page, which really seemed sufficient.- a. attend school regularly;
b. arrive at school ready to participate in learning activities;
c. accept responsibility for one's own behavior;
d. cooperate with school personnel and fellow students;
e. abide by all school regulations;
f. abide by all laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia;
g. complete all assignments fully and in a timely manner;
h. cooperate with school officials in the investigation of any violation
of school rules;
i. refrain from any action which hinders other students' safety,
welfare, peace of mind or achievement;
j. respect the right of teachers to teach and students to learn; and
k. assist the principal and faculty in the operation of the school as a
safe place for all students to learn and to develop socially.
The school web site has all sorts of interesting things that I suppose bloggers or complainers could use. You can even find the nutritional value of the cafeteria meals on the school web site which seem to be 2 days Mexican and 2 days Italian with a meat/potatoes, or Asian or Jamaican item the 5th day, and a Grab 'n Go selection of salads or sandwiches.
Seen at James Taranto, WSJ, Best of the Web, who received the school link from a parent in the district who needed to hide her identity to pass along the information because she signed the code of conduct.
So what's in your school's code?

Our code of conduct came home this week. It was 40+ pages and included the various consequences for not following the rules. It also stated very specifically what happens if you bring weapon to school. You get expelled. There was a line for each type of weapon - all had the same consequence.
We all had to read, sign, and return.
My kids are there to learn, not to make trouble.
