Vinicios Robacher's father, Soel Robacher, claims that his sleepy son's left ear was resting on his desk on Dec. 4 when math teacher Melissa Nadeau slammed her hand down so hard that his eardrum burst. Robacher says his son experienced an almost complete loss of hearing.
New York High School Rejects Deaf Student's Service Dog Again Despite State Ruling
A public high school has turned away a deaf student's service dog despite a state ruling saying the animal should be allowed...
Cave and his family say the teen, who uses cochlear implants, needs the service dog to help with his studies...
The Caves turned to the state Division of Human Rights after their $150 million federal lawsuit against the school district was dismissed last year.
If I had a label for asininity, these stories above would merit that label.
(Incidentally, all boldface above is mine.)

I've heard of kids using the old, "the dog ate my homework," but never "The dog didn't help me with my homework."
I guess I would stick to the water spraying :)
Great news…the Skittles kid got a reprieve.
Mike Sheridan’s suspension was cleared, he was reinstated as class VEEP and he’s back on the honor roll. The school administrators had a spasm of intelligence and common sense. I wonder if the fact the school administrators were made to look like the idiots they are in front of the entire country had anything to do with it.
The publicity is the *only* thing that caused it, Mike.
