STUART, Fla. - A student at a Florida school has been arrested after authorities said he was "passing gas" and turning off his classmates' computers.

According to a report released Friday by the Martin County Sheriff's Office, the 13-year-old boy "continually disrupted his classroom environment" by intentionally breaking wind. He then shut off some computers other students were using.

The Spectrum Junior-Senior High School student was arrested Nov. 4.

The more they supress these kids, the more they will find creative ways to do what they do.

This reminds me when I nearly failed a typing test needed to skip a class because some kid thought it would be hilarious to unplug my keyboard and then log me out(old computers that took forever to log in) when I was plugging it back in. Fortunately, he passed his test and left the room and there was a second test. I was late to work though. And the boss was none too happy with me considering it was a rush-day. -.-

The more they suppress these kids, the more an awful lot of them will grow up being used to such suppression.

If there was no goverment controled schools then the kid would have been kicked out of the school, or the parent's would have had to pay money for the disruption, which I can damn sure bet would have led to more of a change in the kids behavior then being locked up with kids that promote that type of behavior. Once a kid gets in the system there is only a 10% chance of changing the behavior according to a 10 year study done by the state of california in the 90's.
