A 6th grader in Florida got arrested for trying to change his grade on his teachers computer. The St. Lucie school district in southeast Florida lists "the changing, erasing, removing or otherwise manipulating computer data through unauthorized entry" as one of the most serious infractions in its code of conduct.

That seems about right. Mess with your grade in a computer, get arrested, suspended for 10 days and recommended for expulsion. Bring a gun to school and you don't get arrested, and you might face disciplinary action. Nice priorities.

UPDATE: The felony charge against the 6th grader has been dropped and the school decided against expulsion.
