Texas High School Student Suspended For Writing YOLO On Test, Needs To Live A Little
Not only did he tweet the picture but he included in his tweet the twitter handles for the Arlington Independent School District and the Texas Education Agency, they were not amused.
“Today there was an incident with a student tweeting a picture of an answer booklet for a STAAR field test. We have made an initial report of the incident to TEA and will continue to investigate further. The student has been punished in accordance with district disciplinary
procedures
Apparently it wasn’t the YOLO and smiley face that was a problem but the fact that the standardized test booklet is confidential. I personally think the punishment should’ve been a result of using such a lame acronym.
In addition to being suspended Birdine also had to delete his tweet. Maybe next time he should just share his cleverness with his friends, it probably would have kept him from being suspended. But I guess he figured if you’re going to give a virtual middle finger to the powers that be you might as well go all out. YOLO
