Yes. Perhaps the teacher and principal should have asked all the other students to assemble in the auditorium for continuation of class and prevented the unruly student from leaving the classroom...if she attempted to. If she attempted to leave, then let her....and close the door. Have the rest of the class stay.
Then you obviously have no clue about the state of public schools. Be ignorant if you will, but expect to be mocked.

Well in my day the teacher would have called the parents, not the police.

Well, “your day” is no more. There’s every likelihood that this out-of-control “student’s” parent(s) couldn’t be contacted, refused to intervene or simply DIDN’T CARE.
My wife works at a public Junior High School. I believe I do know the state of Public Schools.
The girl didn't have a weapon, the girl didn't make physical threats. The girl was just performing an attention grabbing sit-in. Why was a resource officer required to arrest her? And if she didn't need to be arrested, the resource officer shouldn't have been called.
School Resource Officers are not the principal's behavior-enforcing 'muscle.' They are there to protect the safety of the students and staff.
I taught at an inter cities middle school and saw this kind of response on a regular basis. These trouble makers respond to nothing but force. There wasn’t a damn thing wrong with what this officer did!!!
That was probably already the case.
In my school, cell phones were banned for years. But how do you enforce that? You can't pat down every person entering the building. We put up a big sign, but problem students, of course, just ignored that.
Eventually we got metal detectors, cell phones were taken, and then returned at the end of the day. Then parents started to complain: My kid might need his phone in case of an immediate family emergency!
Those parents vote (and they can sue), so the school board caved. Students can keep their cell phones as long as they are off.
Result: Incidents of students talking on their phones in class happen DAILY somewhere in the school. So the kids gets suspended for a day. What do they care? It's just a day off from school.
Well:
1. I think he deserved firing for throwing the girl. Maybe the knocking her and the desk over was just part of trying to snatch her out of the desk, but even that was sketchy. If he can not remove a child who was no threat from a classroom without knocking her in her desk to the ground and then throwing her a couple of feet, he needs a job he is more capable at, recently not a school resource officer.
2. This guy also has a history and the New Post wrote about it right away. That is another clue he needs a different career.
3. As to what the students learn, I hope it is that if the authorities do wrong you should just accept it and they will be punished. That is a good lesson or any teen to learn.
Yep. The next time some school administrator needs a cop to deal with a feral - the cops should tell them to suck it.
Controlling a thug/thugette in school is not worth ruining your life over.
“Squirt her with skunk oil!”
Her boyfriend(s) likely do that daily.
Was Ferguson a 'local issue?'
It's coming soon to your school district. If you think not...dream on. It's the nature of those who are not self controlled that they do as they please until forced to stop.
The Feds are now involved, and whatever they perceive as the issues involved will be the basis for the enforcement actions and settlements moving forward. That is their agenda.
What are the odds, do you suppose, that any corrective action ordered by the Feds will involve some form of sensitivity training...that is, that authority figures must learn that being took to F#%K themselves is just a cultural difference?
Good list HA, but you missed one possibility. There is a good chance that the parent will intervene on the side of their child (the student), using threats of lawsuits against the school, etc.
Education was interrupted already. That was a fact. The level of how much to be interrupted was in the officer’s hands.
There were choices he could have made.
You may know the state of your public schools in particular, but show no awareness of the state of public schools in general.
Nope, she doesn’t win. She loses...her audience. Which was what this was all about.
The consequences of her behavior still happen, in fact they are actually worse because she continues to refuse to follow instructions. Not only that, she ends up looking silly.
Let’s hear your theories about dealing with feral youth.
She will certainly beget more skunks!
The idea is to ask the other students leave and let their education continue. Let the administrators handle it after that. With no audience. The audience is everything. Remove that, and the offender backs down quickly.
In your day the parents would have done something about their child's misbehavior.
