see today. We also did not have video games. And we played outside a bit more than kids do today. We were much more active physically and ran off a lot of extra energy. We had 3 recesses a day when I was in elem school. Our kids now are lucky to get one.

No I don't think a school would expel a kid on a first offense, but it really depends on the offense. In my state, there is a law that says kids who bring guns to school automatically get a one year suspension. So if you bring a gun and it is your first offense, you WILL get suspended for a year. Knives are dependant on the length. A long knife will definitely get you sent home for a long time but most pocket knives, as this kid had, are not that long. I believe they range from 3 days to a semester, depending on prior offenses.
