I also filed charges against a student for assault when I witnessed an attack by a known gangmember on some kid just eating his lunch. Suspension and detention are B.S. when the little rectal vent already had served hard time before coming back to school.
We caught students on videotape tagging the campus ($3,000 plus in Arizona taxpayer money to cleanup). You're damn straight charges were filed there too.
Those who are posting that schools shouldn't be charging kids with crimes probably have no idea how out-of-control their kids are.
Well stated.
Thank you for your service as an educator and not looking the other way when these young criminals test the limits of society.
