LIVING: Should 7-year-old Be Suspended For Scratching Out Classmate Photo?

SodaHead Living 2010/05/24 21:00:00
Apparently, the days of drawing devil horns and mustaches on the people you don’t like in your school yearbook are over.

Little 7-year-old Natalie Ledger was suspended from school for one day for “disruption” when she scratched out the photograph of a classmate whom she says bullied her. Natalie also wrote in her yearbook that the classmate was rude, according to the Appeal-Democrat.

The student whose photograph was scratched out of the yearbook was also suspended from school.

Nancy Aaberg, superintendent of the Yuba City Unified School District, told the Appeal-Democrat that the district does not condone bullying “at any level."

    But, then again, I scribbled out damn near the entire grade when I was in school (yes, they all bullied me).

    There is a section in the yearbooks for people to write notes but since the 7 year-old was scratching out a photo he should get at least detention.

    well umm first off the school dont own the damn book BUT if she did on school grounds she can get in trouble.. But since she owns it and have her reasons why she did that then thats her choice but if the school caught her doing on the their grounds they can do whatever... its dumb but true... people at our school get suspended for doing it on school grounds soo yeah...

    that is very immature of them to suspend both, they shouls ask the other "bully" for her answer then ask the year book girl for hers and see who is right. not just assume. And i write on people all the time in my yearbooks, no big deal

    Apparently, she was suspended because of the disruption it caused not so much for scratching out the picture..

    It's her yearbook? If it is then she can do whatever she wants on it. And if that's not ok then i need to hide my middle school yearbook because there are alot of photos scratched off and alot of messed up comments on people. xD

    Uh oh, better watch out. Next your clothes will make other people feel bad about themselves and we'll all have to wear uniforms.
    Black lunchboxes, pb and j of course cause if you have ravioli someone's feelings might get hurt.

    Whoever suspended this girl was a nutjob.

    I quit buying "yearbooks" for my kids, they raised the cost to over $30 for a book that is extremely thin and they are in elementary school, I also don't buy from fundraisers or school picture packets, especially when I found out that the percentage of money that actually goes to the school is a very low margin, in some cases only %10.

    I actually just donate money and supplies needed by the school directly to them, the teachers and admins have told me that it is a burden to spend time they should be teaching working as sales reps for these unscrupulous companies, I mean really who charges $20 for a candle you can get at a Dollar Tree for $1, gives the school $2 and then pockets $18 for themselves and they make you wait 4-6 weeks to get the item??? Maybe they order them in bulk from China for less than a dollar each.

    Well, as far as I can see, bullying was what caused that in the first place. Seems to me, the girl chose a method of expressing her anger and frustration, that didn't hurt anyone at all, until the teacher was stupid enough to step in. Students are not getting any rela life experience in settleing issues between themselves anymore. They will NOT grow up empowered, but with their social skills weakened.

    They always threatened us if we did that in primary school, but people did it anyway and nobody ever got in trouble. If you buy the yearbook you should be able to do whatever you want with it.

    I know right? In grade school they would go around and check our yearbooks to make sure no one wrote HAKAS, which is "have a kick-ass summer" because it wasn't appropriate.

    her yearbook. was she disturbing the class? if she was not actively preventing learning or instruction, then they can say nothing about it.

    btw I live near the yuba district, they (and my current district) are really anal-retentive at the elementary and middle school levels. it's really bad.

    No. The yearbook belongs to the student. It would be a violation of free speech or freedom of thought by suspending a student for just scratching out another student in a dumb yearbook. "Disruption" is not a good excuse I think. It was just to get that child for doing it. Its pathetic how people make a bigger deal out things that are not huge but no one can do anything about more dangerous and scarier happenings.

    Okay that's crazy! It's there year book! My friends and I scratched off Justin Biebers face in our year book and put hearts all around Paul Wesleys (they have the popular section and he was under it! eeeeep! xD) and we weren't suspended. Thats pretty insane.
