Long story short: high school junior is suspended for writing YOLO on the essay portion of a standardized test, taking a picture of it, and tweeting it out for the world to see.
Naturally the kid is being an indignant little shit about it, and playing it off in the typical aloof and devil-may-care attitude that’s synonymous with typical troll behavior, his mom is all up in arms, and there are all sorts of questioning to why he’s being punished so severely for what seems like a harmless gesture.
While it’s true that what he did do, and the photo he posted was pretty much harmless, because he’s giving up no answers or any critical information, I’m still 100% in favor of this little asshole getting punished. Why?
Because he’s being a retard. Don’t want to take the test? Leave it blank. Write a painfully sarcastic response. But writing YOLO? That’s weak sauce, son. It’s an obnoxious saying that is synonymous with other retards solely, and the board of education in question is punishing you for associating with retard behavior. There’s nothing questionable about it. He’s getting suspended because he acted like a retard, plain and simple.
I love the fact that he got a punishment for it. Good for this school board to step up and try to dispel such dickish behavior from other jaded students. So you only live once? Well have fun living your one life on a street corner, begging for change, and being eager to get arrested, so you have a roof to sleep under. Being a retard doesn’t have many brighter outcomes than such.
Also, kids are allowed to have iPods or any sort of electronic device other than a TI-83 calculator during a standardized test now? Sure, I know cheating documents could easily be hidden in a TI calculator, but probably way easier in like an iPod Touch. I’m aware I’m ranting about “the youth of today” and all, but man do these spoiled little fucks have it easy now.
