Title says all. Not for me though. Be a dear and take it please.

1. Do you believe students in school have the right to say anything that they want?

2. What is your perspective on "Freedom of Expression?" Is there a certain boundary that this First Amendment cannot cross, or do you believe that we truly have the freedom to express ourselves freely in school?

3. What exactly is considered a "threat" to school grounds, in your opinion, and the administration?

4. To what extent does the administration in your school take to keep the campus "safe" from these "threats?" Are they rather tolerant of most of the occurences, or do they take ANYTHING suspicious into account as a potential threat?

5. What consequences does the administration give to students as a result of breaking the rules? Give examples of the different levels of punishment for the different magnitudes of infraction of rules. (Examples, but not limited to: chewing gum, fighting, verbal threats, etc...)

6. (You don't have to answer this one, it basically pulls everything together) Scenario. A diary was confiscated containing seemingly harmless information amongst your peers, but say that the administration had a different perspective on the material that was written in this "diary." They decide to exact heavy consequences on everyone that was involved, even though it was hardly considered a "threat" to anything. Your opinion on it, incorporating your answers from the recent questions.

7. Please state your school name, city and state, so I can do research on it. If you would like to, also give a brief summary of how your school is like. (Anything will do.)

1. Do you believe students in school have the right to say anything that they want?
No, not in school, it would be fun, but would cause to many problems

2. What is your perspective on "Freedom of Expression?"  Is there a certain boundary that this First Amendment cannot cross, or do you believe that we truly have the freedom to express ourselves freely in school?
I think there is a limit in schools, or most schools, since disrespect is generally not tolerated. So Freedom of Expression doesn't really seem to apply to school.

3. What exactly is considered a "threat" to school grounds, in your opinion, and the administration?
In my opinion, its usually more threatening when someone is talking about doing something, to their friends or something, not when they call in and say I'm going to blow up the school.??

4. To what extent does the administration in your school take to keep the campus "safe" from these "threats?"  Are they rather tolerant of most of the occurences, or do they take ANYTHING suspicious into account as a potential threat?
They are pretty strict and take everything seriously. Even if there is supposed to be a fight at lunch they get AP's in to guard.

5. What consequences does the administration give to students as a result of breaking the rules?  Give examples of the different levels of punishment for the different magnitudes of infraction of rules.  (Examples, but not limited to: chewing gum, fighting, verbal threats, etc...)
Chewing gum or smaller things is dealt with by the teacher and is generally a verbal warning or detention. Fights are either Inschool Suspension, Suspension, or Explusion. Verbal threats are ISS, or Expulsion

6. (You don't have to answer this one, it basically pulls everything together)  Scenario.  A diary was confiscated containing seemingly harmless information amongst your peers, but say that the administration had a different perspective on the material that was written in this "diary."  They decide to exact heavy consequences on everyone that was involved, even though it was hardly considered a "threat" to anything.  Your opinion on it, incorporating your answers from the recent questions.
That's sort of over reacting, but typical of administration. I guess they have to take everything into account though.

7. Please state your school name, city and state, so I can do research on it.  If you would like to, also give a brief summary of how your school is like.  (Anything will do.)
