One point has been completely missed here; the point which I think may 
have Andrew truly irked (or at least it irks me). Administrators, and 
possibly other school officials, while I attended 861 frequently abused 
their "right" to search students lockers. I use myself as an example of 
this. While I attended 861, my locker was searched three or more times 
per week. This was apparent because the "stuff" contained within locker 
(books, etc.) were rarely ever put back exactly how they were originally 
placed. When the contents of your locker appear out place on multiple 
occasions, you can not just chalk it up to a faulty memory every time. 
So to  prove it to myself that my locker was being searched, I began 
measuring positions of books (along with six other little tricks I 
developed) which confirmed exactly as I had suspected.

The point here is, I posed NO threat to the school or the district and 
yet my locker was searched frequently as if I did. Obviously the 
administration was overly paranoid about NOTHING! The only thing I would 
ever do to this school district is "attack it with words." Why? If I did 
blow up a building, I would be hauled to jail and charged. "Attacking 
the district with words" is completely legal and any sort of desire for 
revenge is done so without having to deal with the courts. Further more, 
if someone did blow a district building up, it would probably take the 
conservatives of this town ten years (or more) to approve a referendum 
to construct a new building. Why hurt everyone when the administration 
is the problem? That like the administration, is illogical.

How often do you say to yourself, "I didn't do it; so of course it 
didn't get done?"
