[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Illegal, yes, but I bet the kid deserved it. Can't fault the principal for doing SOMETHING.[/quote]

Yes.  You can fault the principal for hitting a kid, which is illegal.  Sure-- consequences might be warranted here, although we do not have all the facts. .  Detention, sure. A sit down with parents, okay.  Removal from extracurriculars. Even suspension, if this is not the first strike.  But hitting a kid, no matter how annoying, or how severe their actions, is really terrible judgment.  FCPS has a detailed discipline policy. Principals can and should do something.  They can and should follow the consequences in the discipline policy.

Is this how ya'll run things in the Eastern County?  Because if the Carson principal did this, the principal would have been suspended the next day.  This was in April, and is just now coming out. [/quote]

Did you read the article?

The kid immediately reported it to a teacher who immediately initated the appropriate report and the principal was removed quickly. The incident happened months ago, but he hasn't been there for months and has long ago resigned. The legal system moved slower than the school system in this case.[/quote]
