Web Watch remembers a few times that we had to sit through a few after-school suspensions. We certainly don’t remember the exact cause of having to sit, Breakfast Club-like, in a classroom and “consider our actions”.
We’re sure that we were wrongly accused, completely innocent – whatever it was. Perhaps we need to check out our PERMANENT RECORD someday, to see what horrors we bestowed on our fellow students or faculty.

Hey, Shorty!: A Guide to Combating Sexual Harassment
and Violence in Schools and on the Streets
During the 2010-2011 school year, a survey of over almost 2000 students in grades 7-12 was conducted by the American Association of University Women to find out HOW MANY TEENAGERS WERE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, whether in person or via text, email, or social media.

There is a hierarchy of crayons in school.
The average child starts out with the standard 8-color box of Crayola crayons. Web Watch is quite fond of this one, as we never really got past the fact that there are different color Reds and Blues in today’s world. To us, it’s either “red” or “blue”, with none of those various shades.
As you got older, you would get the 16 or 24-count box of Crayolas.
Eventually, you’d be lucky enough to get the holy grail: the famed 64-count box of Crayola Crayons with the built-in sharpener in the box.
Eventually, even that was too boring, and Crayola came out with the 128-count box. Yeah, those kids were living the good life. They may not have been able to draw worth a darn, but they had all the tools available if they tried.

Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Movers School Bus
Not everybody’s parents are as cool as Dale Price.
Even if his son, Rain, may have been slightly embarassed about his father’s occasional antics today – what Dale has done for the past year is something that will definitely make for some awesome family stories 10 or 20 years from now.
And Dale didn’t really do anything too complicated.
All he did was the same thing any other modern-day parent does – they send their children off to school on the schoolbus every day. Of course, Rain is also a teenager, with all the typical teenage angst. So Dale thought he’d try something a little different this past school year.

Facebook has become an addiction.
Everywhere you look, people are busy hunched over their phones or laptops, feverishly updating their statuses, posting on friends’ walls, playing Farmville or word games — in essence, doing everything OTHER than what they’re supposed to be doing.
Facebook is having a negative effect on business and the economy — in one study earlier this year, over 6% of all URLs accessed by businesses were being sent to Facebook, and that Facebook accounted for 4.5% of all Internet bandwidth. Just imagine if all that effort spent on poking and updating had been spent on actual work, we’d all be in a much better economic state-of-mind.
Besides, don’t forget that CHARLIE WAS FIRED FROM HIS JOB FOR USING FACEBOOK. Granted, he was spending up to 4 hours a day on Facebook – so that might have something to do with it – but he certainly hasn’t been the only one that was fired for Facebooking while on company time.
