It seems that the old saying, "common sense is not so common" is being proved right once again. This problem should have been solved at the classroom level. Why the hell does everyone have to pass the buck these days. This teacher lost control of his/her class. Then to bring the principal into it and have the principal pass on taking responsibility for disciplining these kids. No, they have to call the cops. Even the cops passed on exerting their influence on these kids and deferred to the judicial system. So now we have some bureaucrat judge disciplining the child for something that should have been solved between parents and teachers. Anyone ever heard of detention? Making the kid clean off desks in the evenings for a week? Eating lunch with the principal for a week? (trust me that sucks!) There are so many ways this could have been handled. Now you have a kid who has no respect for her teachers or her principal because they didn't have the balls to punish her themselves. What a bunch of clowns.
