Today, I almost got expelled for bringing a weapon to school. The "weapon"? A yellow travel-size hairbrush. FML

Hello! OP, here. I appreciate the comments, especially the hilarious sarcasm and puns haha! :D So here's the full story: I just came out of the gym after P.E. (before the bell rang so everybody was still in class) and there was this kid like 30 ft away (going to the bathroom, I assume) and since my hair was really messy, I took out my brush, which is one of those full-size brushes that folds. So apparently this kid thought I had a pocket knife or a switchblade or something because of the way I unfolded the brush (image the same motion you would use to crack a whip or flick a wand or whatever - that's how I opened it because my hands were full). Also, I guess the kid thinks that I brush my hair with a yellow knife...? Anyway, he reported me. I got sent to the Dean and I explained what happened and showed him the "weapon." Luckily, he believed me and not that shit-for-brains kid, so I didn't actually get expelled.

It's okay OP, I got detention once in 2nd grade for bringing a knife to school so that I could make a sandwich at lunch time

I would have loved to hear the kid's story to the Dean. "So, I saw someone take a switchblade out in the bathroom, open it up, and threaten their hair with it."

This is another reason why I don't miss grade school. They are so over-the-top with everything. It seems that it has gotten a lot worse since I was in high school.

You should be able to easily brush off the charges.

I actually once brought a steak knife to school to cut up my steak and none of the teachers said anything, and I know they saw it. My friend though almost got suspended for bringing a butter knife. I have to say I still don't understand their logic. Sorry op.

It just depends on the student and the teacher. I would bring a boxcutter with me to school for craft projects and what not and once when I loaned it to another student (who was also using it for a craft project) he almost got suspended/expelled for it before he mentioned it was mine. The teacher immediately dropped the whole issue and just whispered for me to put it away. The teacher was definitely just looking for an excuse to mess with the kid.
