Reply #9: The ones with rocks in them do

[proud2BlibKansan]

We had a kid at my school put rocks in snowballs. A kid who got hit had to get stitches. So no, snowballs are not always safe.

These kids could have had this fun with snowballs at home in their own yard. But they brought them on to school property where they surely know that kids are not allowed to throw things at each other. So yes, I agree they deserved to be punished.

Schools are sued for every little piddly thing you can imagine these days. Had this principal not punished these kids, his phone would have rung off the hook with parents calling to complain that their babies were in danger. If anyone had gotten hurt, the school district would have been at risk for a lwasuit. He did the smart thing by disciplining them.

Snowball fights are fine - anywhere but at school.
