Mike Schergers essay did not go down well with his teacher and principal. After being told to write a story about how your body betrays you, he handed in an essay that his teacher did not like. The teacher took the story to the principal.
The story he wrote is about: "an embarrassed teenager whom he described as having "a boner" (an erection)," and the principal said it was "sexually offensive" and suspended him for five days which is the maximum time allowed.
Heather Scherger, Mike\'s Mom, was furious and said that her son\'s story was about real life. Mike has been told that he can go back to the school in three days time if he then agrees to go and see a counsellor for the other two.
