Agreed. There were a number of times I intended to do something that was similar to this, and even at school without supervision. I was punished on occasion, I was rewarded at other times. This does not make it a felonious offense. I am grateful today to the educators I had at the time who understood I was intelligent, curious and, frankly, stupid. If they had done what this school has decided to do to Ms. Wilmot I would not be where I am today. I hope the spirit of justice will win out and allow this student to continue to study and learn, become a contributor to society, and hopefully make many more intended discoveries in her life, without a felony record or imprisonment.
