Your brother may be suspended from school. Somebody in Mr Harrison’s class, during Paul’s period drew a penis and wrote in all caps, “Mr Harrison is a penis head” on an empty desk. Mr Harrison later saw Paul carrying a black marker and assumed that it was Paul. Paul of course swears it was not him, but that he does not want to rat on the person who did it. Good Lord. What did I do to desrve this kind of crap?
Mom
Guilt by association to a black marker. Sounds like the teacher is jumping to conclusions due to a student having a black marker. Not good. Tough position for the kid too, knowing who did it and not wanting to turn them in and wondering if it would be worth it to go ahead and take the punishment for someone else. Wow, please update this post on what happens, does he tell the truth or take the blame.

Unless he really did it.

Jesus, just tell on the kid! Poor Mom.

I asked myself the same question many a time during my years of teaching teenage boys! Poor Mom and poor Mr. Harrison.
(No, I never had X is a Penishead written on a desk, thank goodness, but I did have to throw out a dozen textbooks at the end of the year at one point because just about every picture had been, ahem, similarly embellished.)

Calling a teacher a penishead gets you suspended?

mr. harrison’s head must really look like a penis for him to get so upset

The suspension will be based on the destruction/defacement of school property. ( I am guessing, but that guess is based on 20 plus years in the classroom) for the record…. never been called a penishead. Whew…one less thing. :)
