    is it not the fault of the kids randomly eating other peoples food without permission that the food ended up being much more “not for them” than it already would have been?

    Have you ever been in a high school? You might as try to ask ant eaters to not eat ants. You might as well tell hedgehogs to not collect gold rings. You might as well tell leaves to not fall. No, it’s not the kid’s fault, it’s fucking candy in a school.

      I don’t get what you are saying? The kids didn’t do anything wrong? Or they shouldn’t also be in trouble? I don’t get why everyone is saying the kids should be allowed to steal?

      Yes I have been to high school, no kids didn’t steal food from the teachers in my high school. But even if they did, they would have been wrong to do so…

      Is it really a common thing nowadays for kids to steal from teachers? And not considered wrong when they do?

      I really thought the reason it didn’t mention the trouble the kids got in was just cuz including underage children in news articles has to be so redacted as to essentially be pointless unless they are the main focus of the article. Not that they are considered to have not done anything wrong nowadays.

        What a bizarre take on this story.

        I feel like you went to a very non-american school or you lived in some magical place where teenagers in high schools didn’t act like normal teenagers. Most reasonable, intelligent administrators and teachers and staff know to “kid proof” everything, and if it’s not behind locks or bolted down, you can expect someone at some point is going to get into it, break it, open it, etc.

        Whether or not they got in any kind of trouble is going to be far, far lower or less of a priority to even report than the irresponsibility of the teacher bringing in drugs to school property. It’s just a weird thing for you to be hung up on and seems like your experiences of schools are pretty different from a lot of other people.
