		Battle School is the training ground for the future leaders of Earth's war effort—most notably Ender Wiggin and Bean.

		Seattle Public Schools policy classifies knives of any size as weapons, and expulsion is the standard punishment for possessing them at school or school-sponsored events.
		But the requirements for allowing a student back to school after such incidents "presumably would be less than the kid who (brings) a weapon to school or gives one to his buddy to keep in his locker," Wilson said.
