Compare this to the 3 day suspension of the kid that fought tooth and nail with me and a principal last week. The 10 year old kid kicked and punched and called us everything but a child of God. When he returns on Monday, he will receive counseling and a mentor teacher that he can go to whenever he is angry at his homeroom teacher.
I am of the opinion that teachers should be armed with flame throwers. When someone like that acts up, or “acts out” in the current verbiage, the teacher should just melt them down. I guarantee, one or two meltdowns a year and no other problems in school, period.
The public schools, because they have to get down to the lowest denominator, are punishing any achiever. The time that has to be spent policing the unruly and upon those who are there only because they have to be there, takes away from time that is supposed to be spent on education. Over lay that with the liberal pressures for our supposed educator administrators, and you end up with what we have now, chaos.
