Much of this is from a larger problem of being unable to keep student misbehavior under control, in spite of zero tolerance on just about everything up the wazoo.
I think this kind of thing is usually overlooked. They’ll enact it though for fighting, because as Liberals believe, defending yourself is wrong. A gym teacher I had my first year did nothing after I had an “altercation” with someone in my gym class, ie he knocked me out and I was mildly concussed (blurry vision on one side) for about 15 minutes. Thankfully that was my last or second to last class of the day. Of course, she did nothing, and became a dean a few years later.
Gotta love NYC.
We don’t teach kids to treat others the way you want to be treated anymore because the Left decided we don’t all have the same values and expectations anymore. In fact, it is white racist to have character expectations for teachers and students.
Some teachers don’t act loving towards kids and base rewards and punishments on consistent social behavioral expectations for everyone all at the same time.
Many teachers act like careless bullies towards the children. In the void, darkness has come in and it just gets worse for kids in some places.
As a kid I learned early on to defend yourself against bullies, no matter the outcome. Most anything can become a weapon, don’t hesitate, pick it up and use it. They quickly make the connection not to mess with someone who is not afraid to hurt them, bad.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
