Dude, come on, its been so long since I've been in school that I don't know the fucking rules.
My point is to get tougher with the bullies. If you can suspend a kid for missing a class here and there or getting into a lil consensual fisticuffs at a friday night football game, you can suspend the kids that are intimidating the nerdy kids.
Is that really so fucking hard to understand?
*disclaimer, my wife doesn't.
The only thing new in this story is that someone won a settlement in court. All the particulars have been around as long as there have been groups of kids.
^ But like Mxy and me were discussing...if the schools are going to start having to pay settlements for letting the bullies continue to bully, then maybe they should stop the bullies from bullying before they get their asses sued.
edit...Mxy disagreed, but just sayin.
Getting "tough" works great as feel-good rhetoric. Translated into actual policy... it's a quagmire. Once you get beyond obvious actions like fighting or shoving someone in a locker, good luck policing every kiddie he-said she-said billy was being a big meanie to my precious little johnny dispute.
The only way to avoid an abyss of ass-covering insanity in the schools is for that asinine court decision to be overturned on appeal.
Yes, you want to raise taxes to spend money on public schools. Loud and clear.Quote:

No. Taxes are evil. So is spending. Any problem can be solved by a combination of wishful thinking and toughness. Unfunded mandates are magic.Quote:
