It's quite a statement that what we call a Birdie is actually called a Shuttlecock. Obviously us Americans aren't mature enough to handle such a thing...

Sometimes, I think I've seen the worst of the stupidity that people are capable of. Then, stuff like this comes along.

Seriously, what happened to common sense? Did behaving like a rational human being suddenly become uncool? If anybody in this situation deserves rebuke, it's the kid who cried after getting hit by a fucking shuttlecock. Either he really hates the other kid, or this is one of the saddest cries for attention I've ever seen.

I'm saddened by the lack of empathy displayed in this thread.
Some people view empathy as a weakness.
Fuck empathy....wait, maybe that's why my psychiatrist insists on keeping me here.

Nahh, kids getting hit in the face with balls and cocks continues to be funny.

Never get me started on the stereotypical private schools and all the stereotypically pansy children that go there with their stereotypically shitty clothes. At the very least they should wear top hats or bowler hats with monocles, but no, they wear boaters and my most hated item of clothing, apart from the shellsuit, blazers.

They wouldn't last a second in a state school, where there's a fight worthy of Mohammed Ali versus Joe Frazier every day (well, in mine at any rate).

Birdie? Over here we call them 'shuttlecocks'. My dad's mate got one of those in his eye playing badminton and it was bleeding inside and stuff. Don't underestimate the power of those things when hit at high speed.

OK so now I read enough to ascertain that we mean shuttlecock...

I guess it comes down to one of two situations:

1) Did it happen during a gym class while playing badminton. If so the ruling is bullshit because when I was taught to play it was OK to aim right at your opponent.

2) Did it happen in the playground with equipment (racquet and shuttlecock) that the kid was not supposed to have and used to aim at an unsuspecting kid. If so then censure is relevant and appropriate although expulsion is ridiculously over the top unless someone lost an eye or something.

Given that we are talking about a private school with a fee paying structure my inner cynic wonders if he has a history of bad behaviour and the school is happy to get rid off him and fees be damned.

A birdie? Those things that weigh 0.007grams and travel 0.003 miles per hour? Unless he made the kid *eat* it, he shouldn't have been expelled. I think this is more a case of people being outraged on behalf of others - I mean, I had my finger slammed in a door at primary school and had to go to hospital, but the door it still there! These things happen.
Those things that travel upwards of 100mph? Ya. Those.

OT: Some people are really really sensitive, me being one of them. We don't intentionally cry. It just so happens we can't stop it.

Although unless it hit him in the teeth or something I can't really understand more than tearing up, weeping is pushing it...

Expulsion is an overreaction unless it was targeted or it happened multiple times.

There has to be more to the story, to get expelled for hitting someone with the birdie/shuttlecock is the pretty lame. I mean seriously they don't even hurt when you get hit with them.

Maybe he hit him with the racket and then shoved his shuttlecock up his ass down his throat or something.
The innuendo in this post is almost too much to bear.
Like a sledgehammer to the face, just imagine what the world would be like if I was a diplomat.
You'd be like the Frank Drebin of Diplomacy.

I got a massive ass bruise on my leg from a dude hitting a shuttlecock full pelt at my leg. He didn't get disciplined for it, so maybe this expulsion is slightly over the top.

Oh boy, I sure do miss badminton...

I miss PE in general, I'm not a sporty person at all I just enjoyed playing the games.

The school i went to, you was lucky if you didn't get punched by someone. fortunately i was one of those lucky few as i knew pretty much everyone.

And by the way they are 12 not Emotionless UFC fighters things will make them cry, no matter whether it would make you or not.
i have emotions and im a muay thai fighter if that counts

OT:that is a bit extreme expelling someone for hitting someone with a birdy

Wow...we play handball at my school and goalie took one to the face...

Handball is basically ultimate frisbee with a mini soccer ball...pretty nasty if you aren't fast or good at the game...and if you get hit...you WILL bruise...

I chucked cocks at kids all the time, it was fun, but I still cannot think of a way to hurt somebody with a birdy.

This kid must have been the biggest pussy I have ever met.

That is STUPID.
Just like OP said, in my day if you got hit, (by a rock in my case) the teachers would just laugh. Expulsion happened once when a kid attacked a teacher with like... a bat? I can't remember.
But if I were to hit a kid with a bat back in the day, detention, phone call home. (The beating at home would have been horrendous...)

Two years ago, in grade 7, we were playing dodgeball, and I HATED this kid on the other team, and threw the sponge ball with all my might, and hit him on the forehead; I got suspended for 5 days, and his mother was thinking of pressing charges.
