What a great story huh? When our nations edumacation (joke:>) is so bad that many can't read or even graduate high school we are suspending kids over skittles? This nations education system is a JOKE - I send my kids to private school because of this. If you rank our education system with many other countries they blow us away. So when I read that they were suspending one of the brightest kids at the school over SKITTLES I kinda got a bit upset which is why you are getting this rant.
As an aside. Skittles are incredibly addictive and my favorite candy. DON'T MESS WITH MY SKITTLES!
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut (AP) -- Contraband candy has led to trouble for an eighth-grade honors student in Connecticut.
Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.
School spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo said the New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.
Michael's suspension was reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.
Superintendent Reginald Mayo said Wednesday the principal was just trying to keep students safe, but he would review the decision to suspend Michael.
Michael says he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules, but he did notice the student selling the Skittles February 26 was being secretive
