[quote=zk][quote=poorgradstudent]Violence is only acceptable by teachers and law enforcement to prevent violence. A student who is disruptive but not violent can be threatened with escalating consequences when they don’t obey the rules. Frankly, if the threat of suspension isn’t sufficient to motivate a student’s actions, they probably should face expulsion, for the sake of the other students’ learning experience.
The officer’s actions weren’t appropriate.[/quote]
The idea of threats of escalating consequences might work, but I believe that option had already passed by the time the officer arrived. If I’m not mistaken, he was brought in for the purpose of removing the student.[/quote]
Many of these kids are beyond the fuck you expel me stage yet they are still there. They sleep in class, try to have sex, insult and harass each other. Insult the teacher etc, This stuff might mean a walk to the office and back, but once the parent or parents are found to be useless or even abusive , the school and especially the teachers hands are tied. THe teachers give up even trying to send them to the office.
