A student in Durham, NC received a one day suspension for jaywalking. That's right... jaywalking. Apparently, one day after school she was on her way home, and crossed on a yellow light. The school suspended her for a full day. When the mother complained to the school about it, as she would since it didn't happen on school property, the vice principal told her the school day didn't end until the student walked through the front door at home. Of course, when Mom asked if that also applied to students who were injured, mugged, hit by cars, etc., on the way home, she was told, "Let's not get carried away." Mom is considering a lawsuit.
