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 principal's actions are justified being that the district has implemented a zero-tolerance policy. I do feel if the victim hit the perpetrator in defense, he should too be disciplined. Being that there was an injury, there should be some type of legal repercussions as well. When I was in school, there was an automatic ten day suspension for all students involved in fighting. We were not allowed to make up any of the assignments we missed. Fighting disrupts the learning environment, and the consequences should be grave to decrease their occurrences. |

| Comments: I agree that the principal's actions were justified given the school's zero tolerance policy. Had he let it go, it would give future students leverage to find a loophole if they too were involved in an incident. |
