Public school administrators haven’t done much of anything to hold violent kids (or their parents) accountable.

Their hands are somewhat tied by DOE directives and laws.[/quote]

That isn't usually the problem. The problem is often the school admin. I have worked with families who are literally begging the school for more support (for example a 1:1 aide or counseling services) for safety reasons, but the school admin still denies it.

OK, yes, but… In many cases, the administrators just don’t have anything to give. They can’t invent counselors out of thin air or modify staffing levels that the district refuses to change.[/quote]

Fair enough but again the problem is not the laws or the Dept of Ed or the parents. [/quote]

Fair point as well, in many cases.  But would you agree that the LRE regulations from the Department of Ed, at least while we have one, tie admin’s hands?[/quote]
