Summary Why Did Eric Get Suspended?

Donna gave Eric a cigarette as she put on her coat. The school principal saw Eric holding the cigarette. Eric, trying to impress Donna, took the blame. He was suspended from school.

Here’s why Eric got suspended:

Schools have strict rules against smoking on campus. This is because smoking is harmful to health and can create an unsafe environment for students and staff. The school principal was doing their job by enforcing the school’s rules. Eric’s actions, while intended to be a “chivalrous” gesture, resulted in a serious consequence. It’s important to understand that breaking school rules, even for seemingly small offenses, can have significant repercussions. Schools have a responsibility to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for all students. Eric’s suspension served as a reminder of the importance of following school rules and being responsible for one’s actions.
