Student Suspended For Opening Door
What do you think about the decision in a Virginia middle school who suspended a child for a day for opening an exterior door and letting a visitor go inside the school?
QUOTE A Virginia middle school is standing by its decision after some parents said it went too far when it suspended a student for opening a door for a visitor - an action administrators say violated the school district's strict security policy.
Southampton Middle School in Courtland, Va., issued a one-day suspension to the student last week after he allowed a woman into the school by opening an exterior door. The school district recently implemented a $10,800 security system that requires all visitors to ring a buzzer and appear on an outside camera before entry into the building. Students are not permitted at any time to open doors for outside visitors.
"A student was suspended for one day for opening a secured door, which was part of the security system for an individual after students had been instructed not to open the doors," said Southampton County Superintendent Charles Turner, who declined to release the student's name.
But the punishment has angered some parents, who claim the child knew the visitor, the Tidewater News reports. The newspaper reportedly received an anonymous e-mail saying the "A" student recognized the woman and opened the door because "her hands were full."
A person claiming to be the child's parent also wrote on the newspaper's website that: "We are going to handle this situation as soon as possible and will expect for his record to not only be expunged, but an apology as well. Source 7

Well, let me take a non-popular approach. Yes, we teach our kids to be respectful. Yes, we want them to do the right thing yet this is a safety issue here people and the student was very aware of it and taking into consideration the amount of shootings we get at schools here can anyone blame the school? Seriously?
