Icemaniax Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I've had quite the stressful week, My grandmother had a stroke on sunday, another sunday night. and I get the pleasure of going to Juvenile hall later today. I an in highschool, 16 year old junior. I'm actually fond of school (scary huh) and I like going to school. Around the 2nd of this month i got pneumonia, and missed alot of school, which resulted in me getting dropped from attendance. yesterday the 26th, I got a phone call from the sheriff (works at school a few hours daily) stating that if i was not in school today that i would go to juvenile hall. I just recently got over beind sick. I've been trying to get back into school since i got better, but they never returned calls. So i called the school. I am not allowed to come back, because it is to late in the school year. The sheriff won't take that as an answer. I still go to juvie today. it is 9:27am PST. I get picked up by the sheriff at 12pm. I came onto my pc. stressed and tired (Havent slept in a couple days, ask Mike windu, I'm always online) I've been upset for a bit, and i come in here and read through posts. mainly "owned pics" and the comments made by people in the post your picture thread. But these posts made me laugh. and actually smile. and i figured you all needed thanks for that. not that I post much anyway. I just wanted you to know, I won't be here for a few weeks. maybe less depending on what happens. Again Thank you. ~Ice~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Dude! That's totally messed up! You have to goto Juvie because you got pneumonia?!!?!?!? What a crappy school system/sheriff. I'm sorry man, my thoughts are with ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That is patently ridiculous. Are people trying to run for the 'Totalitarian of the Year' award or something? If you're sick, there's not a great deal you can do about it. Did you see a doctor about it? If you did, refer the idiotic Sherriff to the doctor for 'proof' of your illness. But this isn't the first time I've heard of these ridiculous attendance rules for school. So basically you can only get time off if you're dead? Someone needs to get a flipping clue...

TiE23 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 This isn't right! Those ****ing bastards. My brother got pneumonia, but it was Walking Pneumonia, so it wasn't that bad, its just that he had a coughing fit every minute for over a week. How long are you in for? The only other scool accident I know of that went on im my school that resulted in jail time was when this kid, a few grades higher than me and a few years back. Well, he was very smart, funny, nice, and really big, he was a really cool guy, everyone liked him. He wrote a story of some kind, and it invoved a school getting blown up or something, but the story was based in space and stuff, so it wasn't like a bombing plan or anything like that. But when the teacher read it, she called the pricipal, pricipal called the sherrif, and his MOM was arrested cause he was to young or something, so that screwed up a perfectly good kids like.... those bastards. And my thoughts are with you also. TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 This could go down as the dumbest thing I've ever heard happening to somebody. Seriously, what the crap? And you're 16 anyways, at 16 you can drop out of school if you want, so you shouldn't be in trouble even if you WEREN'T sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That is *CENSORED*ing messed up, when i was your age (and was still in compulsary education) I missed a few weeks of school when I was I'll, when i went back they didn't say anything, I didn't even need a doctors note. I had some work to catch up and they helped me, they didn't make it like a punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should sue both the school and the Sherriff's department. Sue them and get compensation. Take it further. Don't let this one rest. Someone has to make a stand somewhere. Whatever happened to 'freedom' and 'democracy'? Is there any way this is infringing on your basic human rights? Good luck to you man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeleneRayne Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 that is wrong. it seems everytime a student gets a serious illness, the school system f's them up, and for what, being sick, NO! thats wrong. im sorry, i know someone who had this same exact problem. i can't express how much i despise the school system.

Master_Ginn Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 It seems to me like common sense to understand that you were sick. And thats why you weren't in school. Is your town full of idiots? Man, if it was me that this was happening to, i'd take it to court or something. I'm really sorry, i'll be thinking about you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Seriously, I agree with Feanaro and StormHammer. Take this to court. They have obviously overstepped their bounds here, by punishing you for being sick. Ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I missed a month and a half back in 4th grade due to pneumonia. I loved not being in school. So cool to watch cartoons. I also got hooked to Days or Our Lives back then which held my soul for another 6 years. Stupid Marlena. I remember I was still really sick when I went back but it was at a point where I could go to school and feel like crap or not go to school and retake the year and still feel like crap. I choose to continue at school and didn't fully recover from the flu until school ended. I hate pneumonia. I have almost died 3 times in my life due to various strains. Once when I was 6 months old. Another when I was around three and of course when I was 9 (4th grade). BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 As others have said, get a lawyer and sue these bastards. Seriously. Schools will roll over on their back and play dead upon seeing a lawsuit. That's just bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Dude... Jed could you sticky this thread till he gets back from juive so he could sue them and take it all the way to the supreme court and get some law passed and then i canprint this thread out along with the law and say to my kids years from now, "I kinda sorta knew that guy".? Sue their asses buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Well, if that doesn't deserve a head banged on keyboard, nothing does. But its to serious for that. One of my best friends got SCREWED out of graduating because she caught pnemonia. Seriously, ignorance must be bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That is so ****ing gay. What a load of B.S. Hope juvie isn't too bad for you. Jeez the school just HAS to understand if you're sick... it's not like students schedule in illnesses... (do they ) Hope you can get out of juvie and you can get back to school. Stay hopeful.
