I have seen statements that the big kid should have told a teacher and not responded with violence. Can you imagine the ration of crap the big kid would get had he "snitched" on the punk? Then they suspended BOTH of them! What's with that? Now, who do you think is the better teacher of life's lessons, the school that suspended the punk for 4 days or the kid that body slammed the punk for being a bully? That's all for now class, now go and be nice to your classmates and remember this lesson yourself.
It just goes to show you that there is always someone out there that thinks he knows what it is best for you to see. I guess they think you are not smart enough to select your own input !
