25. In my suburban mostly white high school

way back in the 80's there were sometimes fights.

I recall at least one where a teacher got knocked down.

Teenagers are volatile and some have poor impulse control. It is part of being a teenager. It gets better as their brains mature and the hormones settle down.

This is nothing new.

This particular incident is being put out there to make it look as if the "officer" who decided that a girl sitting silently in her seat was an invitation for a violent assault on her.

The kids in this incident should have consequences, but not jail time.

I don't have any idea how these kids will survive in society once out of school. cwydro Oct 2015 #4

That's some serious coded language there. LeftyMom Oct 2015 #5

Sure. Happy to, and that is not coded language. cwydro Oct 2015 #6

I live here. I attended that school. If my kid weren't homeschooled he would have been in the room. LeftyMom Oct 2015 #7

Um no, I would assume that white kids listen to rap because they do. cwydro Oct 2015 #8

I've never heard a white kid's misbehavior blamed on rap feuds or Nikki Minaj. LeftyMom Oct 2015 #9

That's bc teacher's aren't supposed to intervene. giftedgirl77 Oct 2015 #30

Many times the teachers are drawn into the conflict without their consent. Snobblevitch Oct 2015 #32

They are supposed to back away & call admin giftedgirl77 Oct 2015 #34
