Heard about this one at work, hence it being a sighting. I KNOW the kid in question and this story surprised me a little.
So say that you're a video-game obsessed teenage boy who gets into a scuffle in school and breaks their wrist. The hospital decides that you need to have a cast put on. When you get home however, you discover that you can't play your beloved XBOX. Do you:
A) decide not to play and spend the six weeks (or however long it is) focusing on other things that are more important for life?
B) figure out some creative way to play XBOX with your cast on or similar?
C) Complain to your mother, who then takes you BACK to the hospital to get the cast trimmed down to a point where you can play XBOX with the cast still on.
If you answered C) congratulations, you're this guy! On top of that, it came out during a staff meeting that this particular kid (among several others) had a habit of playing XBOX (or PS3) into the wee hours of the morning. It was getting to the point where they'd find those kids in the sick bay sleeping all day.
Now, there is no excuse for the cast getting trimmed down in this case. If you're struggling to write, there are a number of speech-to-text programs out there and most teachers will allow you to use a computer if needed.
Methinks someone needs to cut the cord on said XBOX....>.>
