More like the 12 year old arrested in Queens for writing on her desk. We used to stay after school and have to wash all the desks. Now it’s handcuffs.
Handcuffs do seem to be overkill, however you cannot make a child stay after school and you certainly can’t make them clean desks nowadays. Bottom line? An out of control child should be removed immediately from the classroom, and if they can’t be, the parent should be called to come down and remove them. Of course, we also had problems with parents not giving the school good phone numbers.
