Excerpt
SUMMARY: In the latest installment of our American Graduate series, correspondent Tom Bearden reports on the strict disciplinary policies in place in Texas schools. Misbehavior that in another era might have resulted in a trip to the principal's office now leads to fines, citations, even criminal records in some cases in Texas.
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Now to our continuing look at the dropout crisis in America.
A number of school districts in Texas are sending tens of thousands of students into the criminal justice system every year for violating school rules.
NewsHour correspondent Tom Bearden has our story. It's part of our American Graduate series.
COMMENT: This MAY be objectionable IF school Class-C Tickets are given on the first offense. I would have no problem if a particular student has repeat offenses, the ones who do not respond to 'normal' disciplinary actions including counseling.
