This is why we need to bring back corporal punishment in the schools. A swift smack upside the head right then and there on the bus and the promise of more beatings in response to further shenanigans would have been a perfectly adequate and effective punishment, and much fairer than this nonsense IMHO. This "re-engagement center" sounds like a camp for delinquents, and the punishment of community service is usually reserved for actual lawbreakers. We should make a distinction between loudmouth brats and youthful offenders who have actually broken laws, and this is why I feel the criminalization of "bullying" is a bit of a disturbing trend. I don't know if it's fair to send the kids to crackhead school for a whole year (and potentially mar their educational record permanently) just because they called this lady a fatass. Thirty years ago the gym teacher would climb on the bus and box their ears, they'd never say another unkind word to the lady again, and it would have been over and done with without even making the local paper. Instead the little bastards are sentenced to a year in what's essentially a minimum security juvenile prison (without being convicted of any crime) and the "victim" gets to retire on $650,000 worth of donations from people on the internet with no f*cking lives for doing her job poorly. My head hurts.
