haha...what an odd thing to ban.  I have only thought of that word 5 times in my life and that was while reading the post and the article.

  If it's such a bad word, how does the roadrunner get away with it?

hmm if they're planning a major disruption, surely they know consequences will be involved, so why would the "banning of the word" even make them think twice about not going on ahead with it?

meep.

[FD.]

So much for freedom of meep.

Thankfully they're banning meaningless words like "meep" and not something historically significant like "Moops", who we all know invaded Spain in the 8th century.

What a bunch of f'ing meeps.

Lol I love the Seinfeld reference

Classic administrative solution, LOL.  They probably held several meetings to come up with that one.  They'll just use a different, equally obnoxious word, if they really want to make a disruption.  Maybe the school leaders can pull their heads out of their arses long enough to get some fresh air, and simply address the trouble makers.

We have a winner.

They say the kids are always the problem and really it's the schools and the parents. Most kids are just confused with no help from either the school or parents so they adapt to where they fit in.

Reason number 6246 to home-school or send your kids to private school. ;D

Instead of coming up with new ways to teach material so students comprehend it and make them successful in life, we continue to over-pay a majority (NOT ALL) of awful teachers and administrators to come up with ridiculous policies. Then we wonder why there is going to be a massive shortage of doctors over the next decade.

By the way, I went to public school.

My freshman year I had 529 kids in my class, I graduated with 360. About three-quarters went to college and the rest a 2 year- technical school. As of right now, I know of only 6 who are in school and 5 who have degrees. Tell me what is wrong there?

Even in college, right now there are 7600 enrolled freshman at URI, that number drops to 2900 sophomore year, 800 junior year, and less than 100 in their senior year. Now I know people have to work and some can't afford it, but come on. It isn't solely responsible for those types of numbers.

(sorry for the rant)

This is why my principal in high school was effective. Mr. Slavin would not have banned a word. It was well understood by all of us that if we disrupted school saying anything, we were in trouble. He did not need to ban a word or ever reiterate that rule.

Man that dude was a mean old man (from a teenagers perspective) but he was an awesome principal (from an adult perspective) and under his watch we did not mess around.

IMO, if the principal needs to ban a word screeched by a muppet to stop kids from disrupting class, I think he has some serious issues already in controlling the student body.

[bass or bass ?]

Huh?

I would only hope the bubble-boy doesn't see this

lol I remember doing that as a kid, it starts off as one saying meep really quiet, and it gradually gets louder. Point of the game is to see who has the balls to say it the loudest.

I used to sneak up behind adults and go "meep,meep" pretty loud.

I watched way too many road runner cartoons growing up.... ;D
