I think that the point of this topic/thread is that parents and the entire community have abandoned the entire concept of family responsibility, and school "discipline" has come down to issuing children tickets.

So the question that arises in my mind is this:

Do we accept the present status quo and let Law Enforcement become our students surrogate parents or do we reverse the last 4+ decades of social engineering that has made it a literal crime to properly parent and once again resume that responsibility?

[and do we tolerate run-on sentences such as the one above?]

These are LEO's who are posted at the schools every day.

I can remember when a trip to the principal's office was something
scary and undesirable.

SIA

...and daily. /sigh

Based on today's realities, I think it is probably a good idea. It forces the parent to assume a little responsibility for a child's behavior at school. If you don't want the Teacher or the Principal to discipline the child, who do you want to do it?

My elementary school teacher always stuck me out in the hall.
My elementary school prinicipal whipped my butt and called my Mom.
My Dad whipped my butt again when I got home.
My Jr High Asst Principal whipped my butt.
My Dad whipped my butt again when I got home.

I turned out great.
