Throughout the novel, Frankie masterminded the actions of the Loyal Order of The Bassets through the use of an Email that with Alpha’s name. Upon being caught by school authorities, Alpha was judged by the discipline committee of the school and it was decided that he would be expelled. Frankie was turned in, and also provided a letter of confession. However, she received probation for the same infractions Alpha had been charged with. Although in the end Alpha was not expelled, I am making the argument that Frankie Landau-Banks, should have in fact been expelled from Alabaster. “Alpha’s” actions lead him to be charged with theft, vandalism of school property, trespassing and disrupting the peace. It is possible to come to the conclusion that if Frankie had been the one “masterminding” these plans instead of Alpha, she would receive similar if not identical charges to those that Alpha was given. These charges are no small matter and should most …show more content…
There is an argument that Frankie should not have been expelled, which is found on pages 330 and 331. The quote states: “it is also true that a sweet-looking girl with no prior record of misbehavior gets a more lenient sentence (even with a full, written confession) than would a senior boy with a history of visits to the headmaster’s office.” This argument states that the idea of expulsion comes from the fact that Alpha had previous infractions while Frankie had none and therefore she should retain her place at Alabaster. To refute this argument I bring up the quote found on page 310 and 311 that states: “‘Anyone else they probably wouldn’t expel,’ Matthew went on. ‘They’d just threaten, but not really do it. Alpha they can seriously get rid of, so they’re going to make him an example. He’s expendable in their eyes.’’Why?’ ‘He’s got no money. I mean his mother doesn’t. If it were anyone else, the discipline committee would just make threats. Then the family would
The case of Tennessee vs Reeves talks about two youngsters named Tracie Reeves and Molly Coffman who were students at the West Carrol Middle School who were planning to kill their teacher, Janice Geiger (Hall 2014; Schmalleger, 2014). They had planned to poison the teacher with rat poison by putting it in the teacher’s drink (Hall 2014; Schmalleger, 2014). There were other students who had found out, and the plot had been reported to the teacher and principal of the school (Hall 2014; Schmalleger, 2014). The students were convicted of attempt to commit secondary degree murder based on the fact that the poison was brought to the school and if it wasn’t because the plot to killed Miss. Geiger was interrupted the crime would have taken place.
The book Redcoats and Rebels is written by Christopher Hibbert, a British author. The main idea and subject of the book is the American Revolution through the British standpoint. He wrote this book to inform the audience of the American War of Independence while simultaneously incorporating interesting new material. He also wrote this book directed to the general reader, but also hopes the student audience will find this book useful.
Matthew went to the school's hearing officer for a review of the disciplinary action. The examiner determined that the speech fell within the ordinary meaning of "obscene," as used in the disruptive-conduct rule, and affirmed the discipline in its entirety. Fraser served two days of his suspension, and was allowed to return to school on the third day.
In Jay Rubenstein's book, "Armies of Heaven," he tells the story of the Crusades in its entirety, beginning with the events that shaped the world into the chaotic time period of the Crusades. Unlike most books on the Crusades, Rubenstein makes an interesting connection with the apocalypse and its effect on the Crusades. In "Armies of Heaven," Rubenstein proposes that the whole reasoning behind the Crusades was to prepare for the apocalypse and the second coming of Jesus Christ. The book begins by providing the background of the city of Jerusalem and its first thousand years after Christ. Rubenstein depicts all the events that shaped the holy city's state of being at the beginning of the crusade.
His February 1980 IEP claimed Smith was easily distracted, anxious and impulsive. It was proposed Smith be placed on a trial basis of a half day schedule. The following year when assigned to a full-day program, Smith started having misbehavior issues. The school met with the grandparents (guardians) and it was agreed to reduce Smith’s attendance to half-days with the warning that if his behavior continued, he would be expelled. In November, Smith was suspended for five days after lewd comments were made to another student. The SPC, similar to Doe’s case, extended the suspension indefinitely. Late November, it was protested the actions were almost identical to Doe’s and Smith was allowed to return to the half-day program at A.P.
Some might say that he is not a model student and that he has been suspended twice, so of course, he would pull a stunt like this. However, those offenses had nothing to do with “intentional infliction of emotional distress”, it had to do with graffiti. “As for Pearson, he isn’t a model student: I heard from the junior high
This case involved a public high school student, Matthew Fraser who gave a speech nominating another student for a student elective office. The speech was given at an assembly during school as a part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government. While giving the speech, Fraser referred to his candidate in what the school board called "elaborate, graphic, and explicit metaphor." After his speech, the assistant principal told Fraser that the school considered the speech a violation of the school's "disruptive-conduct rule." This prohibited conduct that interfered with the educational process, including obscene, profane language or gestures. After Fraser admitted he intentionally had used sexual innuendo in the speech, he was told that he would be suspended from school for three days, and his name would be removed from the list of the speakers at the graduation exercises.
We have to keep the students first" Is raising the bar for these students also include morality and judgment? Does having a football coach and Dean leaving his pregnant wife at home to have an affair sound like something the kids should be learning as a vice with no consequences? Since Superintendent DeTomasso and Principle Harrington ruled Cracco did nothing wrong, do the students, who now know every sordid detail of the affair, believe that this behavior is OK? Does anyone in the Bellmore-Merrick area believe that if Cracco was a women the outcome of DeTommaso's "Did nothing wrong" ruling would have been the same?
On March 7, 1980, a teacher at Piscataway High School in Middlesex County, N.J., found two girls smoking in the school lavatory, which was a violation of school code. The teacher took them to the Principles office where they met the Assistant Vice-Principle Theodore Choplick. Under questioning the first girl admitted smoking in the lavatory. The second girl, 14 year old freshman T.L.O., denied that she had smoked in the lavatory. Mr. Choplick then asked to search the girl’s purse. He found a pack of cigarettes. Upon pulling the pack of cigarettes out Mr. Choplick discovered cigarette rolling papers, which is closely associated with marijuana. He proceeded to search the purse to find a small amount of marijuana, a pipe, small empty plastic bags, a substantial amount of money all in one dollar bills, and two letters that implies that she is a dealer. Mr. Choplick notified her mother and the police and told her mother to take her to the police headquarters. A New Jersey juvenile court admitted the evidence, saying that the search of the purse was reasonable under the standard of enforcing school policy and maintaining school discipline. The court found the student, T.L.O., to be a delinquent and sentenced her to a years probation. The appellate Division affirmed the courts decision that there had been no Fourth Amendment violation, T.L.O.
Since the beginning of time, mankind has sheltered their fragile egos, in which is driven by one main attribute, pride. If mankind’s ego is placed in harm's way, their lousy judgment takes over thus causing them to conceive loathsome ideas which their greed feeds upon. When mankind reflects on their dishonorable actions, a wave of regret and disappointment washes over them. This wave of resentment is what Doodle’s brother, the narrator, in the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst, is currently causing him to reflect on his past actions towards Doodle. As the narrator recalls how his pride was more important than his relationship with Doodle, the reader will realize the theme of this short story, do not let pride cloud your judgment. Hurst illustrates the theme through the usage of internal conflict, man vs man conflict, and
Some students in School had big issues, like Doug Hann. Hann was a student from Brown University, and varsity football player at the University. He was living in the dorms at the University. He was expelled from the university for doing bulling to the black people. In October 18, 1990, Hann was screaming bad words towards the black people, he was celebrating his birthday and he was drunk. It was not the first time that Hann was caught saying inappropriate words to the people, 2 years before he was drunk at one bar and he curse scream words to a black people. So the president Gregorian from the University in January 25, 1991 affirmed the expelled decision by the Undergraduate Disciplinary Council. In my opinion,
...f proofs of false statement made by Pickering, the High School teacher had the right to express his opinion publicly about issues that he considered as important to the society. Because no abuse or offense had been made in the letter, he could not be fired. No punishment could be placed by the S.C because it required more proceeding.
Her statement had spread throughout the school; all her co-workers had adverse reactions thinking that her ability of being a teacher would interfere due to her racial comment. Her principal decided that it would be better to have her dismissed.
In document C, the school suspended the student, but that was because the student caused a threat against the targeted student, S.N. If the student did not target S.N. and say the students name and harm her directly then there would probably be no suspension. J.S created a MySpace profile (“the profile”) making fun of her middle school principal, James McGonigle. The profile did not name the principal or his school, but did include a photo of him and contained some vulgar and offensive language. J.S. did not name the principal or the school, she did not directly target the principal even though a photo of the principal was on the page.
