Parents OUTRAGED their precious snow-flakes had to eat on the gym floor

How DARE that principal make them eat off the floor!!  That's disgusting!

Oh, wait, eat while SITTING on the floor?  WTF is the problem then!?

I've sat eating in dirtier places.  Hell, I've probably eaten OFF of dirtier places (exaggeration, but still).  Stupid over-reactive parents.

That's actually pretty digusting. Not only what they had to do, but your lack of sympathy towards them.

How is that an effective form of punishment whatsoever? All it does is increase their risk of getting sick, especially if it's in the gym.

If I sent my kid to a school I wouldn't expect them to end up eating food off the floor.

The parents have every right to be outraged. Perhaps they overreacted a bit, yes, but I'd be mad as hell too.

PS: Can you please give the topics objective names?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

The "without food trays" (meaning food comes off the floor) part is what makes me metaphorically squirm. If their gym floor is anything like my high school's gym floor... ick.

Seriously, one of the most fail articles I've ever read. No details as to what really happened. All the information in the article could have been summed up to "The school apologizes for punishing kids for breaking a chair and spilling water, and they don't accept the apology." It really doesn't say anything about how they were punished or why they feel that punishment is unjust.

It would be different case if it wasn't used as a PUNISHMENT.  But the fact that it was used to punish the kids, makes it feel wrong.

Wtf?  That's a punishment?  That's how my middle school (Grades 7-8) was normally.  :\

They seriously made you all eat on the floor with no trays?  Wouldn't that be against some sort of health code?
