Using a counterfeit bill for lunch money

To give a kid a 10 days suspension for this, I believe, is out of control.
I guess we all need to start marking all of our money with the detection pens before we give it to our kids.

One Atlanta area 12-year-old student said he had no idea the money he used to buy his lunch at school was fake. But the school punished him anyway. “I’ve never handled counterfeit money, I don’t know what it looks like,” said Earvin Philon, the boy’s father. Philon, a retired vet, assumed a $20 bill that he got in change from a fast food restaurant was real. He gave it to his son to pay for lunch. But when the lunch lady marked it with a counterfeit pen, it turned out to be fake.

Zero tolerance policies are the worst policies ever invented

shite I think we’ve probably all unknowingly used a counterfeit bill at some point.
Well the trashy folks on here, OT ballers don’t use cash.

Giving a 12 year old a suspension because his father gave him a fake $20 bill? Most Atlanta thing I’ve ever heard

Dumbest thing I have ever heard. I hope the school takes a lot of backlash for this.
Yeah, this kid tried to run fake bills past the school lunch lady....just dumb

Exactly this.
Do they think the kid is producing this money? Do they think he acquired it from somewhere knowing it was counterfeit? He's 12, can't drive and can't work. Everything he has was given to him by his parents.

Why is a fricking lunch lady checking for counterfeits in the first place? Is this actually a problem?

How prevalent is counterfeit money that this schools lunch ladies are required to mark every 20?

how much fast food was he buying? and why was he paying with (presumably) a $100 bill?

I haven't really read a school handbook in depth in a while, but to have a rule that specifically addresses counterfeit money seems odd. And yes, the 10 days is overkill.

For a while the "candy stand" at St John would not accept bills larger than a $1
Why?
Let's just say the computer lab had excellent heavier paper
I believe the culprits were in 7th grade at the time.

That's insane. I hope the father fights this. Zero tolerance policies zero out common sense.
I've received some counterfeit bills in change from a fast food place, too. You likely won't notice it at the time because you're in a hurry.

Agreed.
One of my sons came home with a Chinese bank teller training $100 bill. He thought it was real and that his friend actually just gave him money for the hell of it. Kids don't put that much thought into things and I don't usually inspect every bill I get back in change.
This one was rather obvious despite the fact that they've been used as legit currency. You know the cashiers didn't even look at them.

Kind of impressed he isn't on free lunch.

If it was a legit accident, the suspension is BS
