Jensen, Kristopher Thor
Disciplinary Record
Garfield High School
9/90-6/94

9/90 Late for orientation assembly on the first day of school. When questioned as to his tardiness, responded "I don't know." Sullen and uncooperative. Given a warning.

10/90 Confrontation between Jensen and another student in Phys. Ed. 2nd period, teacher: Beckwith. Jensen claimed the other student (Jensen did not know his name) stole his gym locker padlock, which carries a $1 fine if not returned. Given a warning.

11/90 Called in to explain poor attendance in Phys. Ed. Had no explanation. Called parents, discovered he lives with his mother only.

12/90 Attendance shows no improvement. Subject claims to be "beat up" in Phys. Ed. whenever he goes, but Beckwith has never seen evidence of it.

2/91 Sent to see me by Susan Adkins, Jensen's English teacher, re: his insistence on using a class assignment to demonstrate "how to do something" as an excuse to demonstrate "how to eat fire," and claiming that Adkins" was discriminating against him" because he was descended from "circus folk." Explained district fire policy.

3/91 Jensen fails Phys. Ed.

10/91 Came to school with the left half of his head badly shaved. Insisted on doing "touch-up" during Ecology class.

12/91 Jensen came to me complaining of harassment and physical abuse. Told him there was nothing I could do.

1/92 Jensen brought in with his confederate, Jacob Carroll, by their Japanese teacher, Yukiko Raffety. They are disruptive and often rude in class.

6/92 Yukiko Raffety quits. Carroll and Jensen both pass Japanese, with D's.

4/93 Jensen and Carroll brought in by Yuki Miyashita, the new Japanese teacher. Jensen complains that she insists upon calling him "Kristopher," his first name. I tell him that's her perogative, and he calls me "Clarence."

4/93 Jensen is now refusing to acknowledge Miyashita at all; when she says "Kristopher" he looks away or whistles.

5/93 Sent Jensen to Mrs. Heideman, the guidance counselor. No progress.

5/93 Jensen threatened with suspension for activities related to "Poonflang Dammerung," a fictional candidate for Senior Class President. Jensen, Seth Kolloen, Nathan Atkins, Katharine Miller, and others made to stay after school removing the hundreds of posters they had put up.

6/93 Jensen pulled out of his swimming class final, brought to Jack Babani's math class to explain message written in chocolate pudding on the hallway wall, reading "Thor is a Sex God." Threatened with expulsion. Jensen blamed Jacob Carroll, currently attending Summit Alternative School. Jensen was given one hour to find Carroll to confirm his alibi. He did so.

6/93 Several sophomores complained about being pelted with chocolate pudding. Jensen was nowhere to be found. Last day of the school year.

10/93 Jensen, Siri Nelson, Eric Stata, and Stephanie Dorman brought into the office. Bus driver claims they were singing the theme song from the television cartoon "Transformers" at the top of their lungs. Jensen claims they were testing if the video camera was working. Asked to see the tape. Gave them a warning.

11/93 Jensen has been selected as a National Merit semi-finalist. He has the lowest GPA of any such semi-finalist in the school's history.

11/93 Jensen counducted an interview with homosexual advice columnist "Dan Savage" for the Messenger. When informed that we would not allow him to print the phrase "gets my dick hard" or the word "shit," he insisted on seeing me. Accused me of being a racist and a homophobe, pointing out that I had not stopped the Messenger from reprinting rap lyrics containing the words "fuck," "shit,"and "bitch." I stood my ground.

3/94 Jensen pilfered the mouthpiece of a trumpet belonging to a student at Washington Middle School who rode his bus. Gave him two days lunchroom duty.

3/94 Jensen passes out on the floor of the lunchroom. Attributes it to low blood sugar and a poor diet. The lunchroom attendant gives him free chicken nuggets and lets him go early.

3/94 I apprehend Jensen in Genetics and ask him why he left the lunchroom early. He states that the attendant let him go. I tell him that she has no authority, and only I can discharge him. He scoffs, and I grab him by the ear and return him to the lunchroom. He threatens to sue me.

6/94 Jensen graduates.

Notes: Kristopher "Thor" Jensen had no respect for the authority of a high-school vice principal. He continually flaunted the rules, but when apprehended seemed truly contrite, often breaking down in tears. He also often referred to himself in the third person, which is (I have read) a sign of a personality disorder.
