Student Involved in Razor Incident Will Return to School Friday
Please homeschool...A Virginia Beach sixth grader who came to the aide of a classmate who was cutting his arm will now return to school Friday after initially facing expulsion for her actions. Last Thursday at Bayside Middle School, Adrionna Harris took a razor from the student, threw it away and convinced him what he was doing wasn’t right.
Instead of getting praise from the school administration, Adrionna got a 10 day suspension with recommendation for expulsion.
