In a neighboring school district they tried to suspend my son for protecting a six year old. A highschooler tried to stab the child while they were on the bus and my son wrestled the implement from him and wrestled him to the floor. He kept him contained until the police could arrive.
I was told that ALL parties who participate in a ‘fight’ are automatically suspended under Zero Tolerance policy.
I lost my freaking mind and told them I wanted a copy of the video tape. They told me that the camera was broken, but backed down on the suspension.
Texas is terrible about things like this.
I sometimes think sending a child to public school is a form of child abuse. Not directed at you, but these kind of stories let you know common sense and real learning is not their agenda nowadays.
