My 8 yr old son was standing in line to use the restroom at school. Well, someone caught the sneeze cooties & my son made an unwise decision to open his mouth in line. In the spirit of fun, my son told a boy near him to cross his fingers, feet, ears, nipples, & his arms. The boy told their teacher - which did'nt result in a phone call home, but a 1day suspension & he was also not allowed to go on a field trip they just had. Aside from a phone call home on extreme occassion, he is well behaved. He is hurt.

OMG, I would be in that school office and FREAK on that teacher. Is that teacher so insecure about body parts. Nipple is no worse than neck or knee! Oh yeah, your son should NOT be suspended...plus he's only 8!
Stand up for your son, or they will always walk on him! make sure they know you are one woman NOT to triffle with!.

I am outraged that the word "nipple" was used in such a callous manner. I, for one, am a person who believes that "the punishment should fit the crime."
In this instance, I think your son's punishment was not as harsh as it should have been. If I were to have my say, I would have banned your son from school for the entire school year and sent him to prison for at least the next 15 years.
It's high time we clean up this smut-ridden culture, and we have to start somewhere. I think we should start with your son.
Next week I will be organizing a march on Washington. I hope to get the ACLU, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, the National Organization for Women, the Daughters of the American Revolution and PETA on board.
We will take to the streets and DEMAND that your son be more harshly punished for committing what I can only describe as "The Crime of the Century!"
NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE!!

PS... Seriously, whoever sentenced your son to a 1 day suspension for saying the word "nipple" needs to be FIRED!

this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Your son was just playing and I think this is what is wrong with the US in general: people over analyze everything. A nipple is a nipple there is nothing wrong or grotesque about it...
you should explain to your son that there is nothing he did wrong it's the people who react to this that are wrong... I would take him out for pizza and a movie when the other kids go on their field trip and have a great mom and son day!

Nipple is not a bad word in and of itself. It depends on how it is used. Usually, when the word nipple is used in the context of a joke, some people may become offended. It sounded like the teacher mistook your son for saying something raunchy. It doesn't sound like he meant any harm by it. Just tell him that it's okay but that he should err on the side of tact the next time he decides to say something funny.
Basically, your son did something harmless, but it sounds like the teacher is just a dried up old prude who hasn't gotten laid in at least 30 years ;o)

Is there a list of "bad words" at the school cause that's just STUPID!!!! Everyone has nipples and he didn't use it in a sexual context. I'd be all over that school. Are the kids explicitly told at the beginning of their school life that nipples is one of the words that will get them suspended?? I'd have the flaming behind!
Go romp yourself some teacher's butt and make sure you get the principal too while you're at it.

interior the context it became used it became seen offensive. using fact the boy in line seen it offensive adequate to tell the instructor, and it had sexual connotations the college is maximum probable sure to dole out a minimum of the minimum punishment for sexual harassment. for sure your 8 year. previous son did no longer locate out approximately "sneeze cooties" and crossing nipples out of your college. I propose you're taking an outstanding seem at your habit at homestead, then say sorry on your son and set some policies approximately what could be stated at homestead (via absolutely everyone on your loved ones) or at school.

That is ridiculous. Nipple is not a bad word, but part of the body. The punishment seems uncalled for, suspension? That is crazy.

No, it's not a bad word. I would be all over that principal. Saying nipple is no worse than naming any other body part. He used the proper term, nothing vulgar. Suspension is ludicrous.

The teacher did not act appropriately in my opinion. Nipple is not a bad word at all and is just as appropriate as let's say, groin.
