Urban Dictionary says “bust a grape” means “Become violent” or “Snap out” so then what he was saying is “You’re not gonna become violent.”

Urban dictionary is incorrect. It means somebody is weak, or not strong enough to, bust a grape.
Jay-Z used it once, “wouldn’t bust a grape in a food fight”. It is a pretty common saying I thought.
He was not trying to stop a fight, he was calling the girls weak. He should be in the honor class if he thinks his lie is going to work.
Stop a fight my big toe!

Cyber bullying? I think the anti-bullying rules at school should not be used in general but should be applied to every case differently. I doubt that even if he called the girls weak that is a way to instigate a fight, please?

Let me get this straight. A teacher can bind, hit, kick, beat and otherwise abuse a special needs student and not get so much as a slap on the wrist or suspension with pay due to their precious tenure and Union but a student can be kicked out of school for an entire year just for posting a comment on FB? The entire system is FUBAR!

There are alot of schools and states that will punish you for what is said online due to the recent suicides brought on by relentless bulliers. I think it’s a good thing. Most kids won’t speak up about being bullied especially if it appears the bully is intruding in personal territory, such as you FB page. So I doubt the school will have to reverse it’s decision, maybe slack off on the degree of punishment but not rid it completely. It’s happening all over the country. I mean come on, where I went to school, yes it was public, the school was responsible for you the min. you walked out your door until you got out at the end of the day. So if your child went out to his bus stop, which is on your property and he/she gets into a fight, uses tobacco/alcohol/drugs, etc they will be punished by the school for that. My thing is tho, if those are the rules then they should be firm. Example, if your child is hurt or abducted on their way hm from school walking or on the way home from the bus stop then the school should be responsible for that too. I love when it’s field trip time and the note comes home and says “we are not responsible for anything that happens to your child wihile they are on this trip” Well…they shouldn’t get to pick and choose when the rule is active or inactive, it should be in place no matter where your child is if he/she hasn’t arrived home yet from school.

It shouldn’t have mattered what he said as long as it was not directly threatening those involved or have i been not paying attention and free speech really has gone the way of the dinosaurs. secondly if he was at home and if it IS threatening which this does not appear to be it should be a police issue and not a school issue. if he posted something threatening while at school and on a school computer then they can do something. they really are overstepping here. if people really are having a problem with facebook bullying then they need to learn to 1) not accept every friend request that comes there way and only accept those you know and trust, 2) increase privacy settings to keep those who are bullying you from posting on your page, and 3) delete any messages from people you don’t know or trust without reading them. its not that hard. my apologies if it appears that i was ranting but situations that are easily rectified with minimal effort, and/or authority figures that overstep there authority to make an example out of someone even when they don’t deserve it tend to anger me.
