While there's all of this romanticizing about "well in my day kids had respect!" there's also the fact that "back in my day" when a kid was acting up in a non-violent or non-hurtful manner, they were dealt with on a far smaller scale. Kids didn't get handcuffed for acting up in class. Punishment was handled by teachers and administrators, not police.
Kids are going to do dumb things. Kids are going to defy authority.
Unless the kids are getting violent or doing something actually illegal--there is absolutely 100% zero reason to get police involved in a minor school infraction.
