Quote:No Backpacks in the core classrooms?  That sounds like a pretty silly rule.  If it's equally enforced, then nobody will (or should) get in trouble.  Though honestly I doubt if it had been a girl with a purse that got in trouble, that it wouldn't have made the news.  Still there are some pretty silly rules in schools.  My class protested a rule that dress for the Senior Dinner had to be 'business casual' and a student wasn't let in.  So we all sat it out.

Rules are rules wether silly or not. You break them, you pay the consequences. I wouldn't be surprised if a girl got suspended if she did that. A lot of schools are making the kids have see through backpacks for safety reasons. If they can't see through the purse and a weapon or other contraband can be hidden in it, then why would they be ok? Idk that schools rule on clear or mesh backpacks, maybe they allow all kinds. But if the rule is in place and he broke it...


Also, how many times do you see rule breakers at school or work? When I was at school I saw it often. I never ratted anyone out. But all it takes is one person to complain and then the child breaking the rules gets in trouble. For all we know, there could be a girl who would like to have her purse, sees this guy and says "hey, why can he do it and not me?"
