[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 155257, member: 831"] Hey Slsh, I would agree that the school is responsible for a students safety. However, unless a student is already in a physical altercation, any school is going to be extremely reluctant to use force.I have to tell you, the vast majority of parents vehemently oppose any kind of physicality used on their child. And, school districts are terrified of lawsuits. Breaking up a fight is one thing, physical force to keep a kid from leaving school is quite another. Plus, having been attacked by a student, myself, who was attempting to vacate school premises, I'm not willing to be harmed because someone's kid doesn't want to stay at school. As far as the police, I don't have a problem with that. If the school is suppose to call them, then they should and suffer the consequences if they don't. When it gets to that point, most students don't care if the police is called, anyway. It's more of a school CYA. That's what my experience is anyway. [/QUOTE]
