Thin skinned. You've gotta expect things like this when you're the vice principal.

Don't concur. First when real disciplinary power was taken away from the schools, it forced things like this into the courts.

Second, it is because she is in a position of authority that she shouldn't tolerate this kind of crap. Teenagers must always learn that they can't commit unacceptable adult acts and get disciplined as children. Its a tough lesson every kid gets growing up, I had mine, but ignoring this would be irresponsible and dereliction of her duties to the school and these kids.

So vice principals don't have the power to impose after school detention or in-school suspension any more? No more "write 500 times" assignments?

Going to the lawsuit level on this is just silly and a waste of valuable court time.
