Discipline is no longer doled out by teachers and principles, but by LEOs.
LEOs do not have the temprement for disciplining small children. Most LEOs join the force to combat crime, not discipline small children in an educational setting.
This reflects in the way they handle disciplinary situations in schools.
You don't handcuff a 5 year old boy, you spank his behind and send him back to class.
If you don’t have written approval from the parent to administer corporal punishment that will get you sued.
Because of the indifferent mother, someday this boy will mature in a prison and be forever a millstone around the taxpayers' necks.
No corporal punishment is allowed anymore.
That would be “cruel.”
Legalistic rules apply when students misbehave.
You ask them “politely” to behave and they refuse.
And so law enforcement becomes the only option.
A police state.
One thing I remember about kindergarten in 1971 was a particular incident where my teacher drug a boy across the floor and out of the class by his hair because he was not behaving, and I don’t even remember what he did. But I DO remember that NOBODY ever acted up in her class again!!
