One of the reasons why we remember the High School Years:
Every morning, just after the first period bell rings, the loudspeaker comes on and we all recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the Texas Pledge, and then observe a moment of silence.
Yesterday, some skateboarding-type, long-hair, emo students were playing hakky sak before school when their hakky got kicked onto the roof. One Freshman decided to shimmy up a drainpipe onto the roof (over 2 stories up) to retrieve it--and got stuck. Kids were cheering and yelling "jump!". Faculty, principals, & assistant principals were out of their MINDS trying to figure out how to get him down and punish him. The principal was livid.
The first period bell rang and all students went to class, with that guy still up on the roof. As the loudspeaker came on with our morning routine, they were still trying to get him down, but in the middle of all of it, the kid STOPS to recite the pledge, the Texas pledge, and then observe the moment of silence...I must give him credit for relatively good character, just poor, poor judgement. I will say, though, by the time he's a Senior, he'll probably be a living legend.
...He gets out of In-school Suspension sometime in November.
