Schools are stupid. In Junior High some punk kid* threw a full milk carton at my face in the lunchroom, and I instinctively raised my hand in front of my face to block it. The carton bounced off my hand and hit a girl sitting next to me instead. The Vice Principal happened to see this and sent us both to the Principal's office. We were both suspended. What lesson was I supposed to learn from the suspension (my only one, ever)? I should have just let myself get beaned square in the face, instead? I was quite angry about the injustice of it all for years.
*Found out via posts from grown-up aquaintances on Facebook that said punk kid grew up with a drug and alcohol problem and died at some point. Guess he learned no lessons from that, either.
