one of them was expelled for supposedly writing "death to martha" (the dean of students) on the walls. they did a handwriting analysis, got the fucking cops involved. she didn't get a review board, which is the judicial process that students go through when there's a disciplinary decision. her friends all say she didn't do it, that there's no way she could have, but that's debatable in my opinion...i could see her doing it as a joke, but she was certainly not capable of any violence...

so the other senior is very very upset about her friend being expelled. keep in mind she's like a straight-A student, loves the school, was involved in lots of activities, she was actually proud to be here. this school was her life. she knew what college she was going to, and now they're probably going to reverse their decision or something.

she was venting to a teacher (a teacher she's very close to, they're friends), she was crying, she was upset, she says "I'm so mad I could just kill the head of school."

another teacher is walking by, hears her say that, and goes to the fucking administration.

if that's not fucked up, i don't know what is. they had the police here yesterday talking to us. this asshole cop said a lot of stuff about how they take threats seriously, how they've never had to come into a school like this to talk to kids before, and basically brings the fact that it's a private school into it and talks about how disappointing it is for something like that to happen "in a school like this" with "girls like you." it was ridiculous. we're not a bunch of rich bitches who sit around making death threats.

granted, i don't have all the facts. none of us do. when we ask questions, they aren't answered. in fact, we're told that the school's lawyer says they can't answer questions. my english teacher asked if any of us were in fact in danger, since what happened seemed to not really need a lawyer to place a gag order. yeah, she didn't get answered either. apparently, the school wasn't taking phone calls from parents this morning.

One of the teachers at my old high school was fired for being CAUGHT JERKING OFF IN CLASS. Needless to say, the girl was traumatized.

The lesson here is that school administration is evil, and there's always at least one or two perv teachers in the school.

they're not even allowed to contact her down at the barn - and she's wicked close with one of the trainers. sharyn (the trainer she's close with) can't even call her to ask about when her horse is going to be transported (because obviously sara can't come get him herself), and the school told the trainers to do only the miniumum with scotch - just keep him alive and passably sane, basically - feeding, cleaning, turnout. sara's friends aren't allowed to ride him.

yeah, so let's isolate this girl completely from the adults that she's close to and probably wants advice and guidance from, and then let's ruin her horse! won't that be fun?

apparently sam-the-crazy-photo-teacher hopped on the bus yesterday to wish all the softball players luck and said "go kill 'em!" then he said, "oh, no, i'm gonna get fired!" and ran away sam is fun.
