But the culture at the school, encouraged by the teachers, parents, and principal, is what caused the incidents to occur. If I had gone to a school where there was a no tolerance policy for such incidents, then nothing would have happened to my friends or anyone else. Children, especially teens, take their cues from adults.
Clearly, if the behavior demonstrated by the principal was any taste of what is permitted in that school, then there's serious issues. First, we don't even know if the picture incident was true; since it's a private institution, they could have been expelled because of the words of a single student with any ulterior motive. Secondly, even if they were circulating racy photos, then the principal could have handled the situation with more tact. Mocking and humiliating a student, even one who has made a serious mistake, is horrible behavior for an adult role model to engage in. It tells the students that it's OKAY for them to act likewise toward their classmates, acquaintances, etc.
??????????? Completely incoherent.
