at least that is how I would interpret it.

"Frost said he thought he had handled the situation properly. Findlay requires students from other schools attending the prom to get a signature from their principal, which Frost did.

"I expected a short lecture about making the right decisions and not doing something stupid," Frost said. "I thought I would get his signature and that would be the end."

England acknowledged signing the form but warned Frost there would be consequences if he attended the dance. England then took the issue to a school committee made up of church members, who decided to threaten Frost with suspension."---

If the principle did not want him to go then he should have refused to sign the form. What was the point in signing it if he was going to suspend him after he basically got permission to go, or at least an okay/acknowledgement from the principle. -----Totally dummmmbbbbbb, cut the kid a break. He was attending a function totally separate from his school, it is like a parent needing to let go and give their kid the opp to show they are responsible and capable of being trustworthy. How else are these kids going to cope in college or in real life if they don't learn how to deal with it. I pity these kids as they will either go hog wild at college, and sink, or just not know how to cope. Very blind of the school officials.

Why all the negative posts and not signing your name? sm

Hmmm. I find that very curious. It makes me think either you've been hurt very badly somehow regarding puppy mills and have completely given up, or... you're worried about your livelihood because you're running a puppy mill. Just speculating, of course, but why else would you even feel the need to post and be so incredibly negative?

*Of course* this show will help, if only for the fact that so many people just simply aren't aware of the pet store-puppy mill connection and this will educate them and raise their awareness. What is the alternative - do nothing? No, unacceptable.

I think if they penalized the docs signing off

fewer people getting it. I worked an oncology office and we had people all the time wanting these forms filled out. Yes, some were legitimate, but the majority were people with anemia, thrombocytopenia or status post their cancers in complete remission. My doc never signed unless the person absolutely was entitled to it. I think if more docs got a backbone and quit signing off on these, you'd see a lot less people getting disability.

It's the normal instinct for Americans to "take what they can get", but what excuse do the docs have for signing off on it?

Signing in, yes, but have to bring a form
filled out and signed by the other school's principal? That's a little over the top. If it's about permission, they should ask the parents, not the other school anyway. So strange...

That is NOT Craig Morgan signing. It sounds like

bad karaoke to me.
