Quit smoking or whatever—can that actually count as school violence?
This is actually such a contradiction lmao
The problem is doing it publicly. You're basically telling all the other students 'hey this kid smokes.' If you told an adulterer with a spouse to stop cheating in front of all your coworkers, that'd be defamation too.
Don't smokers see that as like... a badge of honor?
A few years ago people were throwing a fit saying women smoking should be left alone or it's sexual violence by men, so smoking's definitely a sensitive topic. Sounds like they got punished under the excuse of public humiliation.
You're not supposed to smoke in the first place, so how is telling someone not to smoke school violence...?
It's the same logic as telling an adulterer to stop cheating in front of your coworkers—that's defamation.
But how is secondhand smoke NOT school violence?
fr heavy metal attacks, biological chemical terrorism—why isn't that school violence?
School violence is seriously one of those 'your problem my problem' things—if nobody on the committee backs you up, literally anything can stick. You can catch charges for gossip with friends, so of course you'll get nailed if you do it to their face. If it pisses you off, you gotta go to court. The whole system is completely broken but apparently there's no alternative.
What's really stupid is they built such a sloppy system first ㅋㅋㅋ
this needed to be said, punishing everyone the same way doesn't address WHY kids act out in the first place
Teachers who never studied law are acting like judges. That's probably why this happens.
School violence committees aren't just teachers handling it like the old days—they do that because stuff used to get buried, so now they call in police, lawyers, judges, everyone.
Don't judge based on your own school days—times are different lol
These boomers who blame teachers for everything that goes wrong are the real problem.
Completely stupid
You only see what you know, basically.
The homeroom teacher can only try to calm parents down and write recommendation letters. The actual committee is made up of the violence coordinator, principals, police, parent reps, education office support staff, youth counselors, lawyers, etc.
wait so they're saying suspending a kid for bringing a butter knife is actually making schools LESS safe? that's wild
from canada here and we've been dealing with this for years, the system is completely broken
honestly this is so true, zero tolerance policies just destroy kids' futures over mistakes 😤
lmao the way schools act like detention will stop actual violence is hilarious and depressing at the same time
