>> So, this is how discipline is handled in our out of control schools.

Well, we’re talking about “in” the classroom in this case. And I think it’s great the kid has to work to pay off the fine. Make em’ all pay for their stupidity - save the taxpayer a few bucks.

Maybe we should mandate hard labor in place of 9th grade, then stick em’ back into the classroom thereafter. I guarantee their attitudes, grades, and vernacular will improve.

That’s a good idea. Let them do a summer of heavy labor prior to entering 9th grade. School would seem really easy after that.

Here is Dallas, a 10 year old student, that gets into a “play ground” fight, was fined $500 and a two day suspension. Kids are not allowed to have “normal” reactions they must act as if they know all rules and are adults before they are children. A few educators would be helped if they studied the work of Piaget instead of the crap taught in the political correct schools of teacher colleges.
