Flatulence banned for 8th grade boys

“The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief:

‘flatus expelled through the anus.’ And while it’s a natural bodily function,

it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys

are taking it to new heights and making a game of seeing

who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.”

“According to a group of seventh-grade students milling

around downtown following Friday’s storm-related early release,

the eighth-graders’ escapades are well known in the school.

“They would do it in science class and other places,” said Jordan Tyler.

“It’s a natural occurrence and we all do it 16 times a day.”

When questioned where he learned that information, Tyler and the other students all said it was true, though they couldn’t remember where they heard it.

One of the other students, Kyle Ruger, said the act by the boys was funny, but he had mixed feelings about whether it was appropriate.

Jordan Knowlton minced no words when she expressed how she felt, saying, “It’s gross.”

Remy LeVine said he was in the class when CRMS science teacher Brad LaRoche talked to all the eighth-grade boys about the issue, as well as the consequences.

Attempts to reach CRMS Principal Maria Libby Friday afternoon were unsuccessful and school Superintendent Patricia Hopkins said she had not heard anything about the issue or the alleged suspected result.” Holly S. Anderson – Knox County Senior Reporter.
