Here a special education child can only be suspended for 10 school days. Any more and it is an infringement on his educational rights. If a special education child is expelled (which can only be approved by God) the district is responsible for providing his/her education.
Here in KY several years ago a student literally beat up a school bus driver in front of the other children. To my knowlege not a thing (other than suspension) was done to the child. Big deal. That tells me - abuse an adult and then you get several days off!
Something is wrong with the whole system. I believe it is because of a litigious society in which we live. So many people are afraid of what MIGHT happen that they can't (or won't) do the right thing ie: discipline their children (be it parents, teachers, administrators, juvenile justice, law enforcement, etc.). I have seen many teacher's careers and livelihoods destroyed because of false accusations made by students and parents. In all but one of those cases the students/parents were lying. Do you think that that will matter to the teachers who will always be known as "that teacher that molested that student" or "the teacher that slapped that kid"? It won't. I know there are the Mary Kaye Letourneaus and the other sickos out there.

The problem is we actually believe the mindfux that tell us all this crap. Why is it that sugar is to blame for all of the kid's ills? Chinese New Year is 15 days of sweet stuff with tons of sugar. Why aren't the kids all going ballistic during the 15 days of CNY? By all rules, we should be having kid riots going on, right? Maybe it is because they don't believe the mindfux and actually discipline their kids, physically if needs be. Instead we listen to all the psych mumbo jumbo that is little more than voodoo and superstition. That, IMO, is why the kids are the way they are today. Sure, we were naughty but we also had certain lines that we knew if crossed would have dire consequences. My brother told my father that he was leaving after dad said he had to do this or something. Anyway, my brother found out that he had no where to go and ended up staying in a wood box that we discarded for a couple of weeks before he had to beg dad to take him back. Guess what, he never did it again. Today, the mindfux will call it child abuse and what not claiming it will scar the kid up for life. Well, he grew up better for it and learnt respect.
As to Mary Kaye Letourneau, all I have to say is "Why wasn't it me?"
