They had an assembly where two cops came to talk about how cool and normal and good having a school resource officer is, and they pantomimed eating each other's boots until they got kicked out. The Principal is extremely mad that I laughed until I started crying—when he told me that part of the reason for the suspension was for breaking the rules by refusing to take off their outdoor footwear.
I feel like a fuckup of a parent a lot of the time, but I guess we did something right.
Suspension as a punishment relies on the assumption that the parent agrees with the school, its basically a blank check for the parents to do a more harsh or unusual punishment that the school legally couldnt. It doesnt work when your parents are based tho.
