Bring the Rule of law to school!
One of the mistakes most school districts make that hurts students is to treat crime differently on a public school campus! The law should be applied the same on a public school campus as in the mall, movie theater or on the street. Very often students steal, disrupt, threaten or assault and they are given school punishments rather than having the local police arrest them! At school you are free to commit a crime without being arrested! Wonderful message to send to kids! Principals should approach crime on campus just as a store owner in the mall would! Forget suspensions and calls to Momma! Call the police and let them handle it! When kids get put in jail for slugging someone or stealing, it may set a standard of behavior! Let parents whine and pickup their little darling at the police station! The alternative is having schools where kids can commit crimes without worrying about arrest! It's that way now in most schools unless a teacher hits a student! They the world falls on them! :roll:
