Request for Stories

I've got a file on crazy school stories. Now these are the ones that make the newspaper and often tend to be quite egregious. These are stories like strip searching a 13 year old girl over Motrin or suspending a kid over eating at lunch with a steak knife.

However, I'm frankly surprised and shocked at the number of people who have school "horror" stories. What's really scary is that these are smart intelligent parents and in one case I know the "kid" (obviously not so much a kid anymore) and he's really a great kid. (I'm sorry - anymore I almost consider anyone under 25 a "kid.")

Since I'm already getting active lobbying my local school board and since I've decided that it's time to start taking this to the Texas Legislature, I want to have as many stories as possible to shock our lawmakers into putting an end to some of this insanity.

Send your stories (please give me a title like "school story") to my gmail account. The user name is ronlawhouston. I can't promise that I'll respond, but I will read every one.
