What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
I turned 18 almost a month ago. Here's my situation - I got some tardies & also skipped a whole class so they told me I got Saturday school. Thing is I work on Saturdays. So I tell the principal that and he says if I don't show up on Saturday then I get 3 days ISS. So the school still has corporal punishment because it's only the year 1811 here but my parents had some epiphany or something a couple of years back about whippin kids so they don't let schools give us licks. I ain't too worried about the principal, he can't paddle himself down a fast moving river. So I told him that I'll take the alternative of licks because I can't go on Saturday and I don't want to miss 3 days of classes. He told me that the paper my parents signed at the start of the year disallowing corporal punishment is valid for the whole year.
Legally isn't it my decision now? I don't normally want someone to whip me but I got to go to work and we got classes before finals next week...
