Im speechless, that is so

That's dumb. A friggin pencil is way more dangerous than a rubber band. Because of the way a rubber band moves, if it was to hit you in the eye; it would have most likely been moving wide enough to not get into your eye. Honestly, that's stupid; I could stab a pencil into my teachers eye and possibly into his brain and kill him with a pencil!!!. Why the hell worry about a rubber band?

Other violations that also receive level 4 punishment include arson, assault and battery, bomb threats and explosives, according to the Code of Student Conduct.
That's

up... Tossing a rubber band at someone gets you the same punishment as a bomb threat or arson...

We get less of a punishment for carrying a knife thats less then 5 inches long. WTF is up with that?
We're technically ALLOWED to carry knives with a blade <2 inches
[center]... In sixth grade a kid shot me in the eye with a rubber band and I got a scratched cornia from it. Had to get some eyedrops and he got like a detention for it...[/center]
This kid brought some sort of sword to a near-by school and started slashing kids during school, and hit someone in the chin, and I don't even think he got banned, just arrested....
I have a rubber band, hand over the money
Well, once at school in 6th grade someone threw a pencil at a teacher but he only got ISSR for, like, a few days. Rubber bad wasn't even shot, just thrown, right? You can't get hurt from a thrown rubber band, you have to sling it kinda.
Our country has gone overly meticulous over the use of small innocuous objects such as the rubber bands. It's almost as ridiculous as the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy Era.
