Wasn't it better in the old days when she just could have been spanked, cried it off and gone back to class having learned a lesson -- don't act like that or you'll get a whuppin.

Well, at least the kid wasn't armed with a gun.
To: Mathews
Oh c'mon...she was just expressing her individuality! What's wrong with her destroying everything around her. She was born that way!
I think that it's high time that the schools stopped being bratophobic! The staff needs to undergo IMMEDIATE diversity training!
To: tallhappy
And libs think they're helping our children! This child certainly needed to be restrained, but cuffed and hauled away?

No doubt.
In today's society, a teacher would be taking his/her life into their hands to even grab this girl by the arm, let alone anything that would adjust her attitude.

I was a product of that school of child raising. Didn't turn out too bad if you ask me. Had some issues later in life, but not from being spanked as a child.

I remember the "Board of education." I think it was made of maple.

Parents don't want their kids spanked when they act like this, they need to shut up when the cops come and haul the kid away.

My students live under a benevolent dictatorship (yes, we homeschool) ;-)
To: Mathews
It's not so much that the school's administrators are beyond shame as it is that they're beyond embarassment. Ye gods, bring back Old Sparky! There's no point in fooling around once a child starts to act childishly.

The kid was probably upset that she didn't get a trophy for showing up in class.

Actually, it is the child's parents who should first be punished.
To: Mathews
Ah, the joys of early intervention.
