Zero-tolerance policies.
Usually the effect of these policies is that a kid who’s getting bullied puts up with it until he can’t anymore, then finally fights back and gets suspended. Same thing here.
Personally, I don’t think we should encourage violence, but I also don’t see a problem with letting kids fight it out. He was lucky all she did was hit him.
It makes no sense, as the bully was the first person to initiate an attack of some form.
Dude, nothing about the US school system makes sense. Here’s some bullet points from my time there:
Due to a health initiative by Michelle Obama, cafeteria food had to be low-fat, low-sugar, and low-sodium… but most of it was still processed carbohydrates.
This policy extended to vending machines. The snacks all had to be healthy. So we had fruit vending machines, right? Wrong. Reduced Fat Doritos and Powerade Zero.
Collective punishment.
Teachers bullying students. Like, directly saying they would end up nowhere in life.
“monitored” official school dances that smelled like a distillery and looked like a clothed orgy.
Scare-tactic Sex Education. Abstinence-only sex ed had gone by the wayside, so instead they showed us a bunch of pictures of extreme STD cases and said the only way to prevent that for sure is to abstain. Which is totally different, right?
Wellness classes where we’d go bowling and stuff our faces with fried food weekly.
So glad I graduated before that health initiative BS. The fucking pizza was both terrible and the best thing ever. Never got suspended for fighting, not that I was doing it a bunch anyways. Also got some decent sex ed in elementary, but yeah after that it was all scare tactics. I remember the classic “go to the auditorium for your D.A.R.E. program” and all they talked about was huffing freon, something that none of us kids had ever heard of before that.
