Eh? Not sure what you mean. I would've thought the current staff at the school sets their policies... or do you mean the board sets the policies?
The reason I wanted the head to get the boot was for simply being patronising and reporting an obviously innocent person to the police. It just seemed an absurd thing to do. :/

That woman was being made an example to warn others who are or will be selling pets to underage kids, but is the problem so large there that the example has to be so extreme, however? Not every kid is responsible and can take care of his pet well enough that the animal won't be, say, dumped out into the wild. There are exceptions, though, I'm sure - even though kids usually have the attention span of a mayfly...

So then it is very much like buying cigarettes and alcohol? Yes, they're banned from being sold to children and yet nothing stops any adult from giving these to children. Since I believe pets are neither addictive, a drug, or in any form something that must be controlled, I cannot see why the poor old woman got into this mess in the first place.

In the end, the animal will still die if not taken care of, but hopefully, even if the kid does not handle his responsibility, his parents will. If the parents don't even know, then they might not find out till the animal is dead and rotting... There is also the chance the pet will not be dumped out, still alive, into the wild; if it dies, you risk spreading disease (unlikely but still can happen) when it is eaten, and if it lives, the animal might push out other animals native to the area. The punishment is still pretty extreme, however, esp. for someone of that age with that many ties in the community.

Sorry for the double post, but given that a day has passed, an edit is probably not too good. BTW, "Air hostesses"? I thought the term has been lawyer'ed out by now!

They should consider a career change to be honest.
Do aeroplane companies have some sort of policy of 'We don't employ any air hostesses that are below 'HAWT' in looks'? Or are there a dozen other pictures we'd rather not want to see? :P
