Kid suspended for drawing a gun

Seriously? You think punishment is the answer?

I guess I don't have anything more to say to that. I couldn't disagree more. I saw way too many of my classmates go into self-destructive spirals because all the school ever did to "address" their obvious social issues was punish them and punish. And when that didn't work, they punished them more. Until they just gave up and kicked them out of school. They made no effort to actually help these kids, they just suspended them over and over. It was atrocious.
