School calls cops on student for chewing gum during test

Kids who goof off during a test at school should probably expect to get skeeped at.

But if they goof off during a statewide standardized test - whooooo, man! In today's schools, that's considered sacrilege!

In Fort Walton Beach, Florida (where else?) a 13-year-old girl found herself in trouble with the law because she acted up during the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.

FCAT is like a state religion. All residents of the Sunshine State are expected to bow before it and show reverence in its presence.

Reportedly, the student finished the test within 2 minutes and began loudly popping bubble gum. When the teacher glared at her, the student exclaimed, "What?!"

(Already, this entry is starting to sound like a hilarious Last Word narrative about a years-old school incident. Except nobody farted.)

The student also tried chitchatting with classmates and fell out of her chair.

The school's reaction? Why, it called the cops, of course.

It's really interesting these days how minor disciplinary incidents result in police intervention, isn't it?

The student was then cited for the capital offense of disrupting a school function.

If anything disrupts school, it's FCAT. With FCAT, teachers and students are forced to waste valuable class time studying to the test instead of to relevant class material.

The school called the police because someone chewed gum, yet serial bullies don't even get after-school detention?
