Reply to comment by ohhgrrl in Parents, students take issue with handling of violence at Medford High School: Students walked out of class on Wednesday to protest what they described as an unsafe learning environment. by TouchDownBurrito

Zero-tolerance policies often tie the hands of teachers/adults from even touching students on the shoulder to pull them away from a fight.

Even more reason why we should hire armed teachers who are trained police officers and thus exempt from these zero-tolerance policies.

Teachers cannot do this. They are not the instrument deemed appropriate to legally deal with crime. Police are needed. Arrest and expel the violent kids. Put them in jail or reform school or whatever. It's fair, and it will really improve the school in every way.

I don't know why you want to see more kids shot to death in school.

There would be less kids shot in schools, with increased police presence.
