This is what honesty can sometimes lead to:

"When a Westchester father found a marijuana cigarette in his son's pocket he went to North Salem High School for help. The 16-year-old boy told his dad he bought the joint in the school library for $20. The school suspended the teen, Pablo Rodriguez, for nine weeks. Many of his neighbors hearing the case believe the suspension is too long and they've begun a petition asking school officials to reconsider."

 

Fair enough the parent went to the High School for advice and help on the matter. It's a parent's prerogative to be concerned, especially when it concerns drugs. But how would a 9 week suspension help anything?
