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.
Oh, I understand that.
They schools want to be parents and make decisions about what children can see, do, attempt, etc without the responsibility of having to discipline them also.
Zero tolerance = Zero thought = zero responsibility.
