Wow!
Now this is interesting, so I only apologize for not finding and bringing it to you sooner. My thanks to Scholastic's "This Week In Education" blog for helping me find it today, by pointing me toward the New York Times "Freakonomics" blog, which referred to the item about which I'm about to write.
Here it is: A Connecticut eighth-grader was recently suspended for three days, nixed from a dinner for honors students and removed from his vice-presidential post for buying a bag of Skittles from a fellow student, which apparently violates a school policy that prohibits any and all on-campus candy sales.
Again: wow!
The whole story is online at the web home of the New Haven Register.
Are our local schools equally strict? Talk to me, people.
