Persecution in New Jersey

There has been an outcry in New Jersey over a proposal that would levy a fine every time a student gets sent to detention. Argue against it all you want, but I think this is a brilliant idea. I mean, I never got sent to detention in my K-12 years, despite there not being a fine. It's not something particularly difficult to avoid.

What is not acceptable, however, is the following line: "You get detention for like forgetting you're ID and stuff. It makes no sense," student Dan Lopez said."

There should be a fine against the writer of the article for being unable to use the proper your/you're. This is actually a rare instance where "you're" is inappropriately used; typically the problem is "your" being used in the place of "you're."

Or perhaps this comment was provided in writing, in which case I would suggest denoting it with a (sic) or something.

Now, I'm not familiar with the way things go in New Jersey schools, but why one earth would anyone be checking ID in the first place? Either there is a Holocaust going on, or the student didn't bring his ID on a day he had been told to do so. If it's the former, a fine for detention is probably the least of the parents' worries. If it's the latter, try remembering to follow directions next time.
