Oh, puhlease........ Not the old 'take an eye out with a rubber band' BS. How many rubber-band cyclops do you know? Anyone? Can we have a show of hands? The kid did something silly, maybe even stupid, but it was a far, far cry from criminal. Hell, I got in fight and threw another kids shoe through a classroom window in 2nd grade, and I didn't get suspended. I do recall my parents coming to school -- they were less than impressed that I managed to win the fight...
