I remember in 5th grade, one teacher needed a knife for something and 
asked if any of the boys had a pocket knife. None did, and she said 
something like, "when I was young, all boys carried a pocket knife, I 
can't believe that none of you have a knife."

Fast forward about 40 years and a kid in a local elementary school had a 
pocket knife and insisted that he was allowed to have it because he had 
earned his Totin' Chip from Cub Scouts. Normally he would have been 
automatically suspended for having a weapon but thankfully cooler heads 
prevailed and the principal just had to explain to the child and his 
parents that the Totin' Chip didn't mean that a pocket knife was acceptable.
