Can school give student cleaning detention?

[Proserpina]

Chances are it would be handled by lawyer(s). If needed it would be handled by court and taken all the way to us supreme court. I have a feeling that school would back down beacuse it would not be worth for them to fight it.

Please tell me you're not serious.

Alas my eternal (infernal?) optimism gets the better of me once more.

Sigh.

Are you saying that you would see no problem with school requring student to take over classroom cleaning? How far would you let it go, just sweep the floor, wipe the board, wash the chairs, how about mop the floor? What about sweep and clean the hallway? Are bathrooms out of the question, after all there is teacher and student bathroom. As you can see the problem is, once you say okay to something the question is but why not go furthere.

Students are legaly required to get an education, be public/private school or home schooled they are required to get education. If i am paying property tax and part of that go to school, why should my child also have to "work in school"?

I figured it was such a long time ago but that last post really nailed it.

the battle cry of the troll:

I'll take this all the way to the SCOTUS if I have to. You'll see.

I would almost bet this is the kid that got forced to do a little manual labor during detention.

You really don't get it, do you? There is SO much more to learning than classroom academics. Clearly you're not going to be teaching things like personal responsibility to your little princess; she's going to be in tough shape someday if SOMEONE doesn't teach it to her.

I serioulsy telling you that I do not find it appropriate for student having to clean facility because school can't manage their money. I found see nothing wrong with students volunteering for such thing in return for say a grade point etc.

.

well, what you find appropriate and what is legal are apparently two very different things.

as to your battle cry:

Who do you think is going to pay the schools legal fees and have you any real clue what it would cost YOU to take a case to the SCOTUS, and that is accepting that it would ever get that far let alone let alone granted a Writ of Certiorari by the SCOTUS.

If you are, in fact, the parent of the child, you are an idiot and your child has no hope being raised by someone such as you. Princess should have left her damn phone off, and you have some nerve stating that your child is too good for the mild punishment doled out. This is NO indication of how the school manages the money, this is how the school enforces a sense of responsibility in its student. RESPONSIBILITY, get it? If not, go pull out a dictionary.

No problem at all.

All of it.

Are bathrooms out of the question, after all there is teacher and student bathroom. As you can see the problem is, once you say okay to something the question is but why not go furthere.

Good idea. Or doesn't she use the bathroom at school? We know she doesn't clean them at home. It's "further" not "furthere". Also, your last sentence needs corrected syntax and punctuation. I bet you graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA.

Students are legaly required to get an education, be public/private school or home schooled they are required to get education. If i am paying property tax and part of that go to school, why should my child also have to "work in school"?

Your values are so out of whack.

There you go again... thinking it's all about money.

Everything seems to have a price with you. You're one of those people who walk around an empty soda can instead of picking it up and putting it in the garbage. Sometimes it's just about doing the right thing for the right reason.

There was an interesting study done not too long ago on "school discipline" court cases.

The School Rights Project data showed that, where school cases once centered on protecting the rights of the less-advantaged as a group or on free speech rights of students, today's school-related cases are brought more often by the "privileged," to promote their own, and their children's own, interests. These students of privilege are twice as likely as their less-advantaged peers to seek a legal remedy for what they perceive is an "unfair" treatment of themselves as an individual.

Of course, this can be explained in large part to the high cost of litigation. And, randomguy, if you want to support a few lawyers with this nonsense, more power to you. The less-advantaged have, I imagine, better things to do with their money than to spend it on a baseless lawsuit against a school over a (perfectly legal) assigned cleaning task.

He might have to (shudder) dismiss the MAID!

Perish the thought!

If this child is real, and is actually going through what her parent claims, I do feel very bad for the child.

I look forward to when little princess goes off to college - she'll be eaten alive.
