When 33 members of the senior class of Scripps Ranch High School have to explain to their families why they wouldn't be picking up their diplomas at graduation, they had to refer to Urban Dictionary!

The students were suspended, prevented from walking at graduation, and banned from prom, all for twerking!

Well, that and making a VIDEO of it!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see what got 32 female dancers and one male coach of the "Twerk Team" in trouble!

The students are accused of breaking the school's sexual harassment policy, which according to the SRHS handbook, includes any "verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in the educational setting."

The punishment is causing quite a bit of controversy, in and out of the high school, and we can see why!

We hate to see kids punished for dancing, but then again this is hardly the plot of Footloose!

What do U think??

We wish our high school allowed this!

Monument Mountain Regional High School in Massachusetts have bucked the norm - they allow their students some special responsibilities!

Students design their dream curriculum. Once they're finished, and as long as their teachers approve of their plans, they execute their detailed new responsibilities!

Some choose to take on writing the next Great American novel, others learn how to play the piano, but all of the students learn something in the meanwhile.

We think this is a fantastic way for the school to ready their students for the real world where classes and homework do not exist.

Check out the super cool video of this talented kids by watching it (above) !!!

Usually when you include a typo in an e-mail address, it just leads to an error. Page not found, dead end- nothing there.

But every once in a while, a hotmail.com becomes a hotmale.com, and then oh boy do hijinks ensue!

Such was the case for the poor administrators of Chicago Public Schools on Wednesday. They sent out an e-mail to parents with a very unfortunate link- to an adults-only website!
