"But speaking from my own experience--it is not done that way in my middle school or in the local high schools in VA"
Not yet...But with this new law protecting school officials and police from outrages like what occured in SC, prepare your students to submit to the barrel of a gun.
Not one school official nor one police official was punished for what occured at that SC high school prior to this law. Obviously it wasn't a common transgression by school officials or police for fear of lawsuits and dismissals. But with this new law to protect them, abuses of children like that witnessed in my 260 will be coming to a school near you very soon.
I know that no one was punished--I found that out with some research. Do you have any idea how the lawsuit filed by the ACLU turned out? Sometimes hitting schools at the pocketbook is the best punishment.
