Students Suspended(briefly) for Riding Bicycles to School

Posted by Jerry Bader on

The story seems to imply that there is more to it than the title of this blog implies, but it never quite gets there.

 

While early reports of this bike ride to Kenowa was described as a “Senior Prank,” the Senior who organized this ride with the support of his parents, Zac Totten, said he planned this ride as a fun, senior send-off. School principal Pennington sent a letter to parents explaining the suspension, claiming the event was “extremely disruptive to traffic” and was “dangerous due to the traffic.”

I can see kids intentionally jamming things up for teachers; I can also see whiny teachers feeling they shouldn't have to wait for kids on bikes. Could go either way. And given that the Principal buckled to pressure and nixed the suspensions, I have a feeling  it's b) and not a)
