At my school, when you make threats or things like that students instantly go home and complain.  Parents email one of thr principals.  We get called for a conversation and are scolded about making threats.  We would be told we can’t make threats that aren’t true and reminded that we need to follow school policy for cheating.

Then we would be told how we emotionally damaged the kids and how they are scared to come into our class or some BS and how we need to create a welcoming environment to foster learning.

Absolutely this. You don't even have to make threats--I never do. But scold a kid for bad behavior and they run to their counselor and mommy and whine that they "don't feel safe in our classroom." Then the counselor or mommy writes you that they don't feel safe in your classroom and this prevents them from learning and so it's your fault that their grades are terrible--nothing to do with the fact that they're disruptive, come in late, don't do work and are probably in the wrong class in the first place. Nope, it's the teacher's fault.[/quote]
