Boy Suspended For Eating Staff Member's Cookie
Student Was Also Kicked Off Baseball Team

POSTED: 12:47 pm EDT June 5, 2006

RICHMOND, Va. -- A Virginia eighth-grader was suspended from school for a day and kicked off the baseball team for eating a staff member's cookie.

Jeremy Maitland was in the Hungary Creek Middle School kitchen one day last month filling a water cooler for a baseball game. Caryl Maitland said her son told school officials that he ate a cookie after someone knocked over a cookie jar and he tried to pick them up.

She said the family received a letter from the assistant principal telling them the cookies were a staff member's personal food. Jeremy was disciplined under the school's theft code.

The boy's mother said she understands the boy had to be Disciplined, but she said eating a cookie and taking someone's laptop computer should not warrant the same punishment. They've appealed the suspension.

Superintendent Fred Morton declined to discuss specifics but added that he reviewed the case and found the school's decision reasonable.

Seems to be a little excessive to me. The boy did come clean and according to the article they wouldn't have known who ate the cookie. I would think making the kid bake the teacher a couple of dozen cookies after school in the home ec room (under proper supervision of course) would make a better impression on him. But to kick him off the baseball team seems to be overreaching!!!!

However, I do not the whole story. Could be this kid is a problem child and has done stuff like this before. Or maybe he spent way too much time watching Sesame Street and the Cookie Monster.....:biggrin:

I'd sue the school for mental anguish and try to score some free dough. It's a snap as long as the jury doesn't wafer, and as long as it never comes out that the kid was baked at the time.

This is typical. The mother is taking up for the son rather than supporting the school that is attempting to help him receive an education. There obviously is details that are missing.

The problem with a story like this is that the school, because they are dealing with a minor, is limited greatly in comments made to the media. The boy probably had his own slant to the story to get out of trouble with his mother inciting the mother to defend her "poor mistreated" son.

With that said, I love cookies. I love chips ahoys, oreos and several types of homemade. Slice and bake cookie are good, but be careful about the brand that you purchase.

You must have milk with cookies. These days I drink skim, but once you get used to it, it is just as good.

Not a single, solitary pun.

For shame.

For shame.
