I bet you don't do it again. Oh wait, it's you. Maybe they should just realize you can't read and it doesn't matter.

Seems a bit severe, however, how many times have you failed to follow instructions?? Perhaps your third strike and out?

Mmmm hot liberal Barack Obama oppression fantasies now? Not too realistic but it's a good effort. I hardly think you would pass on such an opportunity to fixate on mr president.

There must be more to this than just reading the WSJ. One week, 5 days is much too severe for just that.
However if it is as you say then I would be protesting this to the absolute highest levels. Assuming you're not in college but in the public school system and this is what you were suspended for I would document my protest (write out why you disagree) and begin with the teacher, work my way up each level of authority all the way to the school board if need be. Don't get mad, present your case in the third person. If you loose you loose but you're going to receive quite an education in the process. You'll find the butterflies in your stomach turning into knots.

That is the problem with liberal dominated government education. Just take the time off at least you want have to read the lies Obama put into his book that he didn't even write.

I guess it's no use for the student copying something into a notebook, and reading a serious newspaper is better than something futile, but you should do your tasks at school. Anyway, I think suspending is very exaggerated and there was no need to do so, just a warning.

That's strange, I thought you claimed that you were homeschooled.

no.

if it was just a one off, you should have gotten a warning.
if this is a common occurrence, possibly a detention
but the only way i can see this as being "fair" is if this is continually happening and you argued with the teacher, however is still think even then it is slightly harsh

did you read the wall street journal at all during your week off?
by TallJasperMan on December 2nd, 2009
Depends on how the interaction with the teacher went... what Did you say?
by Tiger61 on December 23rd, 2010
there are always 2 sides to every story. So we need to hear the other side first. And I hope you listen better next time
Are there any teachers out there that can help me know: what are the requirements for a student to be placed in a SRA class? IN FLORIDA

You're reading Was it fair to suspend me for one week? --- Our English literature teacher caught me reading The Wall Street Journal, whereas I was supposed to copy "The dreams of my father" pp. 123-128 into my notebook.

One P_ _ _ _ n is a lot like the others - bizarrely fixated on hating Obama. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get it. Answerbag gets it. You hate Obama. Nobody cares.

Now he has flip flopped. He started bashing the other side today.
