I have three kids in the schools here in Martinsville In, 3rd, 7th, and 10th grades. My kids have all gone to weekday - A non-denominational bible study held at a church across the street once a week, they all said "grace" (called something else to be PC, but that is what it is) before lunch also.
I am not that familiar with the high school teachers this year my oldest had, but we know ALL the teachers for the younger two. If something like this happened in those schools you wouldn't have to worry about the parents getting in the teachers face, stand in line because the other teachers would be all over them like white on rice.
Small towns like ours with long time teachers in a very conservative place like this know that people won't put up with this stuff, that includes the other teachers they work with. I guess we are lucky because we have had a very low turnaround in the staff at their schools. They are still teaching like they were taught years ago to teach, and the other parents are very involved and vocal on how they want the kids educated.
My son got paddled this year by the principle, I know I hurt his feelings when I laughed hearing about it. I explained that when you do something you know will get you in trouble then expect to be punished. Funny thing, it only happened once so far, I think it actually sunk in.

If this kid was in your school, this would have never happened.
