In an example of the particularly harsh treatment of boys in schools, DaveW sent in this story and writes "A 7-year-old boy is banished to alternative school for 11 days for having a 1-1/2 inch pocket knife in his back pack." It is believed to be the first time a student so young was sent to this alternative school, which is for students with severe behavioral problems.
