You are absolutely correct, but some recommendations are just wishes and dreams. Let's acknowledge that you won't mandate more parental responsibility. And you can't just suspend kids, because it gives them license to run amok in the community (as police have verified). It is sadly what it is. We need better incident recording, administrator training and accountability, and alternatives, whether a separate classroom or other in-school or community behavioural interventions.
Absolutely agreed. In British Columbia, the NDP (NDP!) government dismissed the Greater Victoria School Board for refusing to allow police "school liaison officers" in schools.

And it wouldn't hurt for some boards (like Toronto District School Board) to reverse their crazy ban on police resource officers in school buildings.

And, as far as I'm aware, the Progressive Conservative party in Ontario hasn't said a word about Toronto's policy. Weird world.
Sure Dave. Put a bandaid on it. That’ll fix it. 😑
