This kind of thing is ridiculous, but over-reaction by school staff is nothing new. It's just that, in other cultures and/or in previous times in America, instead of the over-reaction coming in the form of police involvement, it came in the form of merciless beatings.
The medium has changed, and our ability to witness it at a national level has increased, but the behavioral pattern itself has existed since time immemorial. |
I'd take a few whacks of the rod any day over the court system. It builds character. |

It seems to me that both of these activities are meant to have the same end result: instilling a fear of authority figures. As such, I'm personally not particularly inclined to favor or disfavor one over the other based on anything other than results. I don't know the statistical results. |

Quite right Gikpik. Also she might have been bad about it when found out that the cops had to be called for her behavior after the fact. |

Well, the reality is that if children get in fights, carry around realistic guns or deface public property when they're older, they will be arrested and go to jail.
It might be better for them to experience it when they are young and learn their lesson before they turn 17 and it goes on their permanent record. |

My question is did she doodle on the desk because she has no respect for other people's things or is this a poor school and they didn't have any paper to draw on.
The first and ya gotsta teach shorty some respect. A little scared straight now can nip the terrorist training in the bud.
The second and she is just exercising her first amendment right. |

Yes. Since she is a minor the school cannot make any comment about the situation so all you ever here in stories like this is the student's and their over protective parents' side of the story. My 눈승이 would never do anything wrong! |
