This happened today, it's slightly weird; Conn. Student Sues After Being Awakened March 13, 2008 - 5:43pm DANBURY, Conn. (AP) - Danbury officials have been notified they are being sued by a student who was awakened in class by a teacher who made a loud noise. Documents filed with the Town Clerk, a prelude to a lawsuit, claim that a sleeping student suffered hearing damage when his teacher woke him up by slamming her hand down on the boy's desk in December. Attorney Alan Barry says 15-year-old Vinicios Robacher suffered pain and "very severe injuries to his left eardrum" when teacher Melissa Nadeau abruptly slammed the palm of her hand on his desk on Dec. 4. A city official says the matter has been referred to Danbury's insurance carrier. Hotwater

Student suspended for pointing piece of chicken at teacher and saying 'Bang'. Next thing you know, they'll arrest him for (heh heh) 'fowl play'. JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) - An 8-year-old boy was suspended from school for 3 days after pointing a breaded chicken finger at a teacher and saying, "Pow, pow, pow." The incident apparently violated the Jonesboro School District's zero-tolerance policy against weapons. The boy was suspended last week. Kelli Kissinger, mother of first-grader Christopher, said she believed the punishment was too severe. "I think a chicken strip is something insignificant," she said. "It's just a piece of chicken. How could you play like it's a gun?" South Elementary principal Dan Sullivan said he was prevented by law from discussing Christopher's suspension. Sullivan said the school has zero-tolerance rules because the public wants them. In March 1998, four students and a teacher were killed and 10 others wounded when two youths opened fire on a schoolyard at Jonesboro's Westside Middle School. "People saw real threats to the safety and security of their students," Sullivan said. A school discipline form provided by the boy's mother and signed by Sullivan says the child was suspended because he "took a chicken strip off his plate, pointed it at (a teacher) and said 'Pow, pow, pow,' like he was shooting her." Sullivan said punishment for a threat "depends on the tone, the demeanor, and in some manner you judge the intent. It's not the object in the hand, it's the thought in the mind. Is a plastic fork worse than a metal fork? Is a pencil a weapon?" .
