Perhaps there is more respect for authority. I also suspect there is a feeling of covenant between authority and the people living there. It goes both ways.
I notice that Louisiana and Mississippi lock up alot of people. Hasn't stopped the violent crime issues in those states. New Orleans has severe gang issues, and corruption issues.
He should not touch the student. Call security guards or something.
You are correct, the disrespectful student should have taken them off...instead, he played the tough guy escalated it and now will go to jail. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
The principal shouldn't have put his hands on him either.
The problem these kids have is that no one has ever disciplined them. Then at some point in their lives they die in a gang fight or are killed by law enforcement. Isn't there a better way, such as actually raising our children?

Very well stated. I agree completely, instead we have people actually standing up for his actions...and I'm sure those are the same ones that whine the most when one of these kids get killed...."oh he was such a good boy" .... right.
That was on the news all over the place. It was such a big deal because it's not the norm. It SHOULD BE the norm.
I don't condone smacking the kid upside the head, but to be upset and embarrassed at your kid's disgusting behavior to the point that you march down there and start dragging your kid away from riots, embarrassing him in front of his friends because he's acting like a dbag...I'm all for that.
More parents like her, less parents that either completely ignore their kids or teach them to disrespect authority figures.
It doesn't take a boat load of money to solve...it requires that parents just do their damn job.

Actually, this stuff is more normal than you think. I'm going to open a can of worms, but here goes.

Thanks for the compliment. I couldn't rep you again.
I have two sons, one 20 1/2 and one 19. My wife and I ran a moderately strict household. One of the things we taught them was always to comply with authority, and to respect authority whenever possible.
In fact just last night my younger son, who is at a college for high-functioning special needs children called us upset. He had a 9:00 p.m. appointment at the academic support center but dropped in early. The 7:00 p.m. was a no-show. Drew started getting support at 7:10 p.m. and went till 8:00 p.m. When he returned at 9:00 p.m. for the scheduled appointment it had been automatically cancelled and re-assigned. Drew was upset and wanted to go back and yell at them. We convinced him to handle the problem in a more constructive manner.
I doubt that this schoolboy was taught to handle things through the system.
