I think that the teachers did an excellent job of handling the situation. There's not much that you can do to discipline a child if you're a teacher. It's obvious that this girl was aware of what police mean, and so she calmed down then.
I don't think this child should be in a public school. She (and probably her parents) has definite emotional issues that we cannot hold a public educator responsible for dealing with.
What should be done instead, if you do think that this was too harsh?
