I did a bit of kicking, hitting, and pinching hitting at that age, I am so glad I grew up in a time of common sense and my childish behavior was dealt without acquiring a police record. Poor little girl. I hope the judge has some common sense.
I hope so too. But I won’t bet on it.
If there were any possibility of any sort at all that the judge has common sense...then it would have been ruled long before that the school has the right to maintain discipline and this kid would have been paddled or suspended.
No, the judge does not have common sense, and that is how we got to this point in the first place.
