Student scolded for saving a life; School doesn’t ‘condone heroics’

If you don't know whether your destination is Cuba or death, then doesn't it make sense to fight?

and yet they want to get paid even more.

Do teachers get paid a lot where you're at?

Have you guys figured out you're arguing the same side?  Sheep could be a good word for both extremes here, since both extremes involve acting (or inaction, as the case may be) as a matter of policy instead of evaluating the situation for what it is.

Generally speaking, schools often will simply impose the same discipline on both participants in a fight regardless. It's the course of least resistance. Teachers etc. lack the ability or willingness to reliably play dectective.

In my experience, many (though not all) teachers and others in the educational system lack the ability to reliably tell their asses from holes in the ground.

I suppose that explains much.  Thankfully most people had better teachers than the ones who taught you.

To be fair to dps I teach a lot of Ed Majors in my Western Civilization class.  They are often the types to be unable to pour piss out of a boot with instructions written on the heel.

You can't reject an analogy for magnitude.  That's how analogies work best.  Stop being so fucking stupid.

Oh, I have no doubt about that.  I taught in public schools, and the only thing worse than the teachers were the administrators.  But I'd bet that even people who teach Western Civ at college levels (as I have done) want more money.  I teach at the High School level and said I wouldn't teach a second AP course without more money.

Those who can't do, teach.
Those who can't teach, administrate.
Those who can't administrate get elected to the school board.
