Case: The victim's front teeth are knocked out.
You teach in a large inner-city elementary school that has experienced many problems often associated with urban blight. Gangs, smoking, alcohol and drugs, sexual harassment, and chronic absenteeism are already a fixture for these children. In an effort to create a safe learning environment, the district has implemented a zero-tolerance policy. In front of your classroom, a sixth grade boy starts an unprovoked fight with another boy. The victim's front teeth are knocked out. An entire classroom of students and the teacher witness the event. Upon hearing of the assault, the principal immediately suspends the boy for two weeks. He then calls the parents and demands to have the 12 year-old perpetrator removed from the building immediately. Are the principal's actions correct?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The principals actions were absolutely justified. The student caused bodily harm to another student and with the zero-tolerance policy the suspension was right. I also see the principal acting in the right way when they had the student removed from the school because he is a danger to other students and faculty and the most important thing is to keep the students and teachers safe in the school. |

Comments: Because of the zero-tolerance policy in place, the principal’s actions were justified. Students must learn to be disciplined and follow school policy.
Yes, students will miss assignments and may fall behind, but their actions have consequences and they need to learn that they cannot get away with erratic behavior such as hitting another child. |
