This overreaction probably has a lot to do with the school in which it occurred. Russell Sage Junior High is well known around here for being filled with future juveniles, pot-heads, drug addicts, and even some serious potential criminals. This is a school where older drug dealers hang around to make good money and students go out for a smoke after school (How many junior high students do you know that are already addicted to cigarettes?). Overall, while I agree that handcuffing her was taking it too far, I want to look at the bigger picture and say that their needs to be a much better disciplinary system in schools. Students can do almost anything without having to real wit consequences greater than a minor suspension.
