Bad kids are not expelled anymore. Administrators feel if they are expelled they will be criminals in the future. They don’t realize expelled or not they become criminals anyway.
There is no respect for teachers by these hood rats. Had the classroom teacher tried to stop the fight ( I believe a female ) she most likely would have been beaten up as well.
with what you said but believe that it is far worse than then way that you said it. It is not just the way administrators believe but a concerted effort to put the concept into every school across the country. It was one of the reasons that the Parkland High School shooter continued to escalate violence unchecked until he killed his fellow students Here is some of the information about the formal program that allowed it to happenhttps://www.thoughtco.com/school-to-pri ... ne-4136170
The fact is that the school, no matter what is does, is going to fix the ills of society. If the case could be made that having some of the trouble making students in the school environment longer helped them to be better students, I could support the concept. But it doesn't. What it does do is create a hostile atmosphere for the students who are not beyond the school's capability of helping.
Many years ago, i watched a documentary about Sing Sing prison in Ossining NY. Over more than 100 years, control of the prison had been traded between those who wanted to treat the prisoners as deserving punishment versus those who wanted to use it solely as a place for rehabilitation. In the ended, neither extreme seemed to work. Punishment does not solve the problem of those without a moral compass. Society's only hope for them is to keep them out of circulation. Putting those who do have at least moral compass in them seems to make sure that it disappears. This is the part that schools haven't figured out.
