Discipline
A 14 year-old girl was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Her crime: texting.
Too many school monkeys’ responses are to call the police over what amounts to disciplinary problems. Sign of the times.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

My mom was principal in a large elementary school near the end of her education career. By that time, her default response to an unruly or uncontrollable student was to call the liaison officer had have them carted down to the station. There was simply too great a lawsuit risk if she or any other school staff had to physically interact with the student to get them to comply with instructions. Sad…

But when did Law Enforcement become the doers of what should have been the parents/teacher/principals job.
It is a sign of how far we’ve sunk into a nanny state that parents and teachers call the cops when they dont have the will to enforce discipline themselves (ask any uniform cop how often they care called because the parent “cant make their kid get up and go to school”).
What about the cops risk of getting sued of does that not matter? Not to mention that now when kid that kid filled out a job application that asks “Have you ever been arrested?” now has to mark Yes.
Is it me or has the whole country gone insane?

Like CTD said, that is what happens when you let the trial attorneys run amuck. You get people who are afraid to do anything for fear of being sued off the planet, so they have to depend on the government to do everything for them.

This is simply a continuation of the school systems passing the buck up the chain.
Zero tolerance means the school does not have to think or use discretion.
Once the school staff is used to not having to think about what to do about someone, then soon the impluse is to not act on it either.
Someone elses decision and someone else to enforce it. Makes their life easier, to hell with the kids they are supposed to be teaching/helping.

Don’t call the cops, call Mom and Dad. The second or third time the folks have to take a day off from work to clean up Juniors mess things will change.
I was teaching at a university around 2000- 2001 when cell phones became common. I just made it a rule in my class that I got to answer any phone that rang in my class. Only happened once. A kids mom called. She thought it was hilarious when I took her message on the blackboard. When I turned to write the message you could hear the mass diving for the purses and backpacks.NEVER happened again in ANY class 🙁
