Many US parents are worried about the strict rules regarding fighting in the schools.
While the intention of the zero tolerance for fighting is good, it also means that students can not defend themselves against bullies without landing in trouble.
Story:
Weatherly parents concerned about school district's disciplinary policies .
(One woman) said her son was taught to defend himself if he was attacked.
She said her son did fight back after another student initiated a fight after school, and that her son, who is a junior and an honor student, was injured as a result of the fight.
She said her son was disciplined the same as the student who initiated the fight and said it was unfair.
The mother said she was also worried that the demerit her son received will hurt her son’s college acceptances. She said colleges would not look at the reasons why the demerit was received but how many there are.
