"(It's always a lot of fun when a kid refuses to go to a lunch
detention over something minor and so I have to write them up
and contact parents and then the parents yell at me because
the kid is in trouble stemming from chewing gum or some small
infraction, but the reason for the write up is defiance. I
swear the only reason why they make us call ahead of time is
to try to encourage us not to write kids up. Not only is it a
time suck for the APs, our campuses make goals each year for
decreasing write-ups even though we are a growing campus and
each year get bigger!)"

And we all know that the purpose of school is to teach students to
be compliant. We want them all to sit in nice straight rows and
smile cheerfully at whatever the teacher has to offer. Oh wait, I
thought we were to teach them to be independent thinkers and
problem solvers. I am so confused! :)

You actually write students up for chewing gum and other small
infractions?

Good luck!
