I would consider you to be very lucky so far. Our school system, as well as many others across the country have zero tolerance policies for possession of a knife, especially amongst the student population. And while we could debate the effectiveness, and purpose of the policies, they are the existing policies never the less. In our school system, being caught with a knife for any reason is an automatic suspension with possible explosion and there is no appeal process. So, please be very cautious in carrying a knife onto school property, it may be that it has not yet caught up with you yet or that the “wrong” person will find your reason unacceptable. Pete
