Are you familiar with in-school suspension, Linda?
Uh, is it like you're suspended,
but you stay at school?
Mmm, not exactly.
It's-- yes, that's basically it.
We found that regular suspension was like a day
off for the children, whereas in school suspension is
more punitive and educational.
You sit alone in a room supervised by me
and write an essay on what they did wrong.
What did Louise do wrong?
She pulled down a boy's pants, exposing his underpants.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I only did it because Timmy and Scott
O'Brien took Pocket-Sized Rudy's lunch
and wouldn't give it back.
He's so little.
He needs to eat.
And no one else was helping.
Oh, knowing the O'Brien brothers, that's probably true,
Louise. But--
Thank you.
Am I a hero?
I don't know.
But Wagstaff has a zero tolerance pantsing policy.
We're part of a national program called
No Pants Pulled Off Behinds.
Your actions were not appropriate.
[groans]
Well, sounds like she was trying to help another kid.
Yes!
I was!
Linda, zero tolerance means zero
tolerance, not some tolerance.
Are we not on the same page?
Oh, no.
Same page, absolutely.
We're going to be working together on that bake sale,
and now, this whole thing happens.
You know?
A crazy world.
Mmm, yes, the bake sale.
It's nice that you stuck up for the little guy, Louise.
But what you did was wrong, real wrong.
Great.
Thanks, Mom.
I just need you to sign this permission slip acknowledging
Louise will spend the rest of the day
in in-school suspension and that you will
come pick her up after school.
That's what you get for sticking your neck
out and doing the right thing.
I'm just going to keep my head down and mind my own business.
Hmm.
Shoot.
I completely forgot.
I have to take my mother to the podiatrist.
She has six in-grown toenails on one foot.
[heaves] Oh, she sounds nice.
Anyway, we can ask Ms Schnur to supervise Louise.
I'm sure she'll agree.
No.
Please, Miss Schnur.
I wouldn't ask if it weren't an emergency.
I'm busy today.
I'm looking up how every celebrity looks without makeup.
Come on.
