the kid gets away with it at home and can't understand why civilization won't put up with it...I admit she is being raised by grandma, has possible health problems but in my day she would have been sent to the Principals office for this! In my day you did not want sent there! Mrs. Ross had her paddle just waiting for BS like this and she used it. The schools have also lost control if they have to call the police for things Mrs. Ross could have taken care of in my day.
God Bless you Mrs. Ross where ever you are.
They call the cops because teachers and principals are not allowed to touch the little darlings or lawyers will line up to sue.
By touch, I mean psycally restrain or punish. The “board of education” is a relic of the past that should be resurrected.

Phone call home, “I can paddle him or you can come and get him”.
Now, no one paddles and even suspensions are discouraged except for the most outrageous offenses.
The names of the people and even the name of the school pretty much lets you know who is doing what to whom. A medical condition, indeed.
the kid gets away with it at home and can't understand why civilization won't put up with it...I understand. When I went to school, they had the paddle and were not bashful in using it. In the the second and third grades the teacher would twist your ear, pull your hair, and shake you too. And spank the palm of your hand with a ruler.
What did our parents say to that? “If he/she gives you any trouble, blister his/her butt.”
The schools can no longer discipline students- so what else are they supposed to do when a student gets physically aggressive? I don’t care if this child was only 6, she could have seriously injured herself, another student, or a staff member at the school.
