I think part of the problem is schools have gone to an all or nothing system for punishment. Either they ignore bad behavior or it's jail time. If throughout school there was more consistency, and allowed more power, I think there wouldn't be the need for such harsh consequences. Because of overprotective parents, the schools often have no recourse but to go to the criminal courts. But from what is in the article, I have no problem with what happened. If someone has had previous problems, they should know that further action could result in drastic consequences. Hopefully, this is also being made clear at the school it happened, as a detterent to bad beharior (but fat chance it will work).
