More school violence and hijinx

(Or video cameras prevent violence--unless it's caught on tape)

from JoeUser Forums
Here are two more school-related issues from today's local paper.

First is the fact that students who receive 5 or more discipline referrals have their names given to the local SRO (school resource officer, or police officer), and a panel is concerned about the offenders' civil rights--not the teachers', as usual.

Second is a follow-up about the student I've been talking about, who was beaten up on a school bus while a video camera captured the incident. The school system's superintendent now insists that video cameras should be put on all school buses in order to *prevent* the kind of violence that a video camera actually captured on tape. More great double-speak from our school administrators!

Amazing that such irony is lost on one who should be educating children to see such irony.
