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.
When I was in high school they had a really cool and fun way of making it an actual punishment when I leaked the wifi password. I had 3 tests the week I was suspended and gave me 0s on all of them. Eventually my parents showed up at the offices enough that they decided it wasn’t fair and let me take the tests.
