So, according to a few of my friends at school, at Bartow high school in the local area I live in(Polk County), a girl brought a bomb to the science fair as her science project. She was then expelled, and then reinstated into the school.

What are your thoughts on this? I'll try to find a link to the article if I can.

What do you think her punishment should've been?


Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

If you bring a bomb, you should be expelled. Her bomb was probably something that wouldn't actually blow up to release a huge explosion or anything. But it could've been something that she accidentally did that maybe carried a gas that could hurt people or something. Rules are rules. Even if its not on purpose. She has to pay the consequences for not being cautious.

She should at least be suspended for doing so...a bomb is a very dangerous thing, even if it's not potent it can still hurt someone.

I dunno. It all seems pretty reasonable to me. She did something that was potentially dangerous. I mean, by high school you should know, or at least suspect, that making a bomb for your science project isn't a good idea, even if it isn't meant to do much more than smoke and fizzle. At least consult with a teacher before doing that! But it seems she didn't intend any harm and no one was hurt, so letting her back in school is proper, though she maybe ought to have some kind of extra punishment like detention on top of the suspension.
