Permanent Markers Will Get You Arrested in School

I found it funny when a new student joined my class a few weeks ago...one student told her, "Don't write on her desks! She'll make you clean ALL of them. She's a clean freak!" LOL

Yeah, the punishment for this "crime" was overboard unless he was making a death threat or something. A good bucket of warm water, soap, and scrubbing sponge work wonders.

That would be a perfect punishment. But yeah, now that you point it out, we don't really know what the student was writing, and that's an important piece of information to leave out. This news story was skewed in the favor of the student to make the teacher and the law look absurd, but who knows what really happened?

So where did the School get the money to build a school?

no. it's not about where they get the money from. it's about who owns what. Just because the construction of school was funded by taxpayers doesn't mean taxpayers own it. The town/city owns it. Taxpayers simply fund it.
 
Schools are not like parks; they are not there for everyone to use. Schools are for a specific purpose and simply because they are taxpayer funded doesn't mean taxpayers have free reign over them.

And where did the town/city get the money to build a town/city? When it all comes down to it, follow the money.

No. The school does not belong to the taxpayers. The taxpayers only fund education.

Who funds the purchase of the land, construction and furnishing of the buildings, and maintenance of the campus?

Yes, punishment should be cleaning up the messes, or, if they can't be cleaned, paying for the damages. A little detention time wouldn't hurt, especially if it's used for clean up work.

Our police have more urgent things to do than classroom discipline.

by your logic - since your wife receives Medicare which is funded by taxpayers, that means we get to make medical decision for your wife. it's our money after all.....

exactly. if the people want to be decision makers for school - they can simply run for school board.

Yet when there is a bank robbery or a shooting, the police manage to lock down all the schools in the district. :roll:

He also gets unemployment. I guess we can tell him what to do for 8 hours out of the day. Right?

it's for their own safety. it's better than hearing about kids getting run over by robbers fleeing from police.

They go a bit far sometimes. What are the chances of kids playing in the street during class time?

it's not just kids. in any case of shooting, what's the parents' first instinct? flock to their kids. imagine the scenario where dozens of overly-concerned parents flock to school. it's a mess.

but.... do they go a bit far sometimes? yup I agree. oh well........

Bingo. I brought that up in an earlier post. Too much missing info.
