If my kids did that I'd be perfectly fine with them getting kicked out of school or even if the teachers wanted to press charges. I know teachers can be shitty but this is completely uncalled for unless they were actually doing those things
Just a reminder that these are middle schoolers, if it were your kid, and a teacher decided to sue, it would be you getting sued for the behavior of a child you didn't raise correctly.
So don't try to take the high road here. If your kid did something like this, it would be because you were a shitty parent who didn't teach them basic right and wrong.
"I'd let the state punish them on my behalf" is just revealing the issue: you expect other people to raise your kids.
Absolutely not correct at all I'm afraid.
People seem to think we have the ability to control our kids to a huge degree.
Plenty of children with amazing, loving upbringings turn into garbage people. And some of the nicest most kind people I know were raised by abusive scum.
Plus teenage years are difficult for most kids as they find their place in the world and their friends have almost as much influence as parents at that time.
You also can't know what teenagers are doing all the time. Especially at school.
Furthermore some people seem to just be born assholes and it doesn't matter how you raise them.
I'm going to assume you don't have teenagers. They can change into a different person overnight once the hormones kick in.
Yeah, it's one of those things a parent can't control, undue influences. Not just media, but other students and even adults who find their way into a child's life and attempt to influence them.
I dislike the nature argument since it's often used to entirely sidestep the nurture argument. I think that maybe it might be better as a society to restrict children(not legally) from, or atleast reduce their usage of, social networking and social media sites, atleast until their teens.
