I got suspended for a week for getting my ass pulverized by an older, bigger kid. With no warning, he punched me in the back of the head, then twice in the nose when I turned around to see what happened.
The principal apologized and claimed the school had a zero tolerance fight policy, so anyone involved in a fight ended up with mandatory suspension. Total bullshit.
To be fair my parents were poor, I did have a paper sack instead of a proper lunch box, and I was in special education so I had it coming.
I hate the way soany schools interpret their zero tolerance policies. It just serves to reinforce the fact that those policies exist to limit their liability, not protect the vulnerable.

That’s when you slap the principal and tell him you’re suspended now too.
