As I have said to you in a previous post...do we just kill the bullies then? That seems like the only thing that would assuage your blood lust here. Those "A" students will be fine wherever they go. That jerk kid may only have 1 person in his life that actually might make a difference and keep him out of prison. And you want that person to give up on him. Send him to prison right now because he has no hope.
This is clearly not true. Victims of bullies are far more prone to depression and suicide. The teenage years are difficult enough
I understand where you were going. And that is why I'm using the phrase "put the bullies to death." Because while you seem to think you are not condoning that...you also are ok with teacher's taking a kid to the roof and telling him to jump.
He knew the kid wouldn't jump god. It was a very effective way to get a point across to a crackhead. But there's a reason he was the good guy in that film. He expelled all the drug dealers and malcontents so he could turn the school around, and he gave another chance to the kid who he saw regretted his actions
Would be a waste of your money. You would lose every single day. Especially in the wake of kids who WERE bullied coming to school to murder their bullies. In real life. Studies have been done. And they have shown that a kid who is involved is just as likely to be violent.
The supreme court ruling made clear you don't get to set any policy and deprive students of rights they would have outside school. And at first you were like "That's the policy and it sucks, my hands are tied," but now you're defending it by casting the victim as a mass murderer waiting to happen. Given there are FAR more bully victims than mass shooting, it's so easy to see thru this unsubstantiated claim. Oh and you're wrong that you wouldn't lose also:
"McDONOUGH — A former student of Henry County Schools won her day in court this week in a judgment handed down by the Georgia Court of Appeals.
The appellate court affirmed a lower court ruling Tuesday, stating that the Henry County Board of Education “abused its discretion by failing properly to apply self-defense standards” when it expelled the student for fighting on school grounds."
Court accepts ?self-defense? claim in school-yard fight | News | henryherald.com
Why? Like i said:
"In the landmark decision Tinker v. Des Moines School District (1969), the US Supreme Court ruled that students do not "shed their [Constitutional] rights at the schoolhouse gate." Self defense is a constitutional right - research the 9th and 14th Amendments. Therefore, according to the Supreme Court, which, by the way, is NOT the "final arbiter" of the Constitution, "anti-bullying" policies that prohibit self defense are unconstitutional. "
There's tons of lawsuits popping up now so you better all have a talk about making this policy more fair to victims. Here's another:
Texas Bullying Victim Gets Suspended from School for Defending Self, Parents Sue
"A North Texas teen acted in self-defense when he was being bullied in the school showers. He was suspended for his actions. Now, his parents, upset over that suspension, filed a lawsuit against the school district....In an act of self-defense, the teen said he hit both alleged offenders to try and get away."
I can't imagine a more clear case of self defense. Yet these same places with "stand your ground" laws allows kids of all people to be victimized with no recourse to defend themselves
I saw what happened. The smaller kid took a swing too. That's fighting. Period. Bigger didn't throw the first punch. Period. And all of that is irrelevant. Every kid will claim it was self defense because you won't ever know what started it.
My advice? Stand up for yourself and take your punishment like a man...or adult.
Taking punishment you don't deserve or standing there getting pummeled not defending yourself is not acting like a man and it's clear you hate victims. Now you're adding in details to the story of who swung first. A lot of schools now have security cams and there's been cases with PROOF that kids were suspended despite clearly acting in self defense
It doesn't matter what you meant. You said zero tolerance. That has a specific meaning. Period. Don't like it? Use the correct words.
zero tolerance towards bullies is what i said and meant, not the victims
And out of sheer curiosity...has it been more than 10 years since you were in high school?
