[QUOTE="Fatboy Joe, post: 2194515, member: 13212"] I don't fault the teachers, prinicipal, supers, school boards....it is the judicial system. It starts from the top down. All of the rules that effect students is directly related to someone suing the school and a court system ruling in favor of the parent. Take for example corporal punishment. I know when I was in school if you screwed up you had choices...Swats or detention. Since I played after school sports that was an easy decision for me...swats. My school district was sued because a principal swatted a student to hard. No they are not allowed. Same is to be said with weapons. A student brings a weapon to school, harms another student, parents sue the school. School make policy saying weapons are illegal. Now the districts have taken it a little to far. Teachers report everything for the fear of their jobs, civil lawsuits, or even criminal charges if they don't report. Principals have the same pressures and so on. Long story short version...society is screwed up. People are afraid for their kids to face some challenges in their life and that is how we become sissies. [/QUOTE]
