It's always interesting when your high school makes the national news, isn't it? You just kind of hope it's for a more positive reason.
As you can guess, this has been a hot topic around here. Our local paper,
The Southtown Star is reporting that the teacher and student have had issues most of the year, and that the teacher admitted to calling Justin stupid.

People are pretty well divided on this. Some think that the Birds need to land the helicopter and make Justin face his punishment. Some think that the teacher is getting off way too lightly and there's more to this story. I will say that District 228 has a history of coming down harshly on kids then backing off. I'm guessing that there will be a compromise soon as the district cannot afford a law suit of this type.
