Due to the increasing amount of people skipping class to vape in the bathroom, and the incident last Friday where 2 fire alarms were triggered within an hour of each other because of vaping, my school is getting some new policies! Only these policies don’t just hurt the vapers, they hurt everyone. I hate this collective punishment stuff. Can someone please explain to me why schools can’t just expel the first few vapers and make an example of them, rather than immediately punishing everyone else? Wanna know what the punishment for the people that vaped the fire alarms off? 5 days out of school suspension. If they are willing to risk vaping in school you think they’re gonna hate a 5 day vacation :)) Now personally, I was happy that people were vaping in school this year… only because last year the hallways smelled like weed and ashes and now they smell like mango and cake. But why do schools have to punish EVERYONE but the offenders? Or is my school the only one?
What are the policies that punish everyone?
No offense, but that sounds kind of petty.
My school has had multiple shootings in close proximity to the campus, and sadly, even a student death as part of one of them. The administration is now tightening restrictions and has implemented a strict ID policy; there is talk of metal detectors.
I’m vehemently anti-drug, and from my viewpoint, vaping is the epitome of stupid teenage trends. With that said, I wouldn’t stress too heavily on “schools [having] to punish everyone,” as it may be more productive to put the incident into perspective.
@nick3162 okay so my schools vaping issue isn’t that bad i guess but we have had: several nearby shootings, code reds, bomb threats, students getting arrested, students murdering other students for gang things, teachers getting assaulted by students and vice versa… but god forbid a few people vape in the bathroom, now they have to change some policies because vaping is just too far :)) I agree with them that the policies have to change but why change it in the name of something as small as vaping? (especially when the school can’t afford decent air freshener) oh and @bodangles so far they just told us that the bathroom usage is going to be limited on everyone and i think something about random searches. We have “The Talk” tomorrow but the principle guaranteed us there are some pretty serious changes going down, and my teachers said they basically punish everyone.
OH COOL I’M A JUNIOR MEMBER NOW!!
