Texas school police ticketing students as young as 6
68 replies, posted
well a lot of you would think i'm a monster for this but I don't see the harm in putting cameras in classrooms, which would allow that hypothetical teacher who can only raise her hands up and yell for help to get the child off her without harming it, without risk of lawsuit(camera as proof)
I mean it's not like someone's gonna be watching the recordings unless an incident happens prompting them to look into the tapes

Children can be screwed up sometimes.
[QUOTE=that1dude24;27738637]You do realize that these children are being sent to municipal courts instead of juvenile courts where they would have more protections, are imposing fines on parents ranging anywhere from $60-500 plus court fees per offense (which some children won't care about, especially considering that it isn't their money), are trying children (as low as four if you read the actual report) who literally don't have the mental capacity to discern between a person delivering a punishment and the punishment itself (which will likely lead to mistrust of the entire legal system or distaste for authoritative figures down the road), and are issuing these misdemeanors for [I]profanity[/I]; correct?
How the fuck is this a good thing?[/QUOTE]
I can also see it leading to the children in court not taking the system seriously if/when a sane judge gave a very low punishment.
Ive gone to two of those ISD's
and I live in the area we're most of the ISD's are.
The ISD's i saw listed are the shitty ISD's in my opinion.
Most of these tickets though are usually applying to high school/Middle school students.

I've seen children hit teachers regardless of where I have lived. And yeah, shit gets fucked up down there. She teaches in a ghetto area.
I just find it ludicrous that they're ticketing minors. There's no way that's legal.
And acting out in class isn't against the law. Whatever shit a kid does, it should be the parents' responsibility to take care of it.
If the rest of the school districts around Travis/Williamson County start doing this, I am going to shout out in class that I believe that the nation in which I live should be overthrown.

Hey, I went to Katy ISD for 13 years of my life. I never got ticketed by any school police, but they did once almost catch my friend and I on top of one of the schools haha

Of course, us Australians don't have freedom of speech (well, Victoria does, but otherwise no), so it doesn't really matter.

They already have that in a lot of schools around me.

I just want to enroll in one of those schools, say crap or something, and put up a helluva argument against it.
Seriously, screw this shit.

Fair enough. I've always been under the impression that it wasn't really a word.
