I’m concerned but someone must tell you: Greentexts are not real stories

As an outsider, it’s wild to me that you can/could get suspended from school so easily.

I know they are unverified stories. But I have spent a decent amount of time in the US and everyone I know personally have a similar story of someone being suspended for something stupid.
This is simply a catalyst for those memories of mine.

The schools I as at growing up you wouldn’t have gotten this as a punishment until like your 10th strike. You’d get increasingly severe suspensions. One to five days in school suspension then one to five days out of school suspension. Then you got expelled. It’s possible OP doesn’t remember correctly how long they were suspended. It’s also possible this post is a lie, but I’m being generous.

As an American, you’d have to have a conversation with the principal and possibly be forced to hang out with the special needs kids at the school I went to. And yeah the administration would not have seen the ablism inherent in making the disabled kids spend time with a dipshit who just said something offensive about them despite them not having done anything wrong

Growing up in the 80s and 90s that’s what the teacher would have called us.
