So what did you accomplish? Did you help a single child in the inner city? Did you do any good for the other people in the class who just wanted to do their projects and get out? What exactly was the grand outcome of that whole demented scene? All you did was show that you could be a a jerk in the eyes of your teachers and probably most of your class mates....Why not put some of that energy and outrage at the establshment to good use by doing something that MIGHT have made a difference. Pissing people off does not get any message across, as can been seen by my examples here on IW in certain threads. Any Asshole can run around and just disrupt their surroundings, and I am pretty sure that that was not what you intended to project to those around you....so again I ask, what do you really think you accomplished?

Nowadays teachers and school administrators are basically a bunch of out-of-touch hypocrites who have no idea what would be best for any student. I'm sure if they were forced to go through the schools they work in, they would hate it. I applaud what Chewbacca did, at least if his teachers were real jerks, and I think that you lecturing him was totally uncalled for, especially since you probably don't know the full details of the situation. Not everyone has to be establishment-loving.
I remember a story my sister told me about her son - he was having a discussion with his friends the week after Columbine, and he mentioned that he could understand why the kids could be angry at their peers - after all, he was picked on for much of his life - and some idiot kids at the next table overheard it, thought "he's going to go shoot people", and told the principal, who sent him home for the day. Bear in mind that he thought Columbine was a tragedy and he never said he agreed with Harris and Klebold at all. Things like this are beyond ridiculous, and these idiots need a swift kick in the rear.
