Principal Forces Teens to Apologize on Hands And Knees

A little over the top, but certainly shouldn't be a national story.  Maybe they should bring back spanking in school. 

Principal Forces Teens to Apologize on Hands And Knees
Saturday, September 29, 2007

WATERFORD, Calif. —  A mother says she is furious after a high school principal allegedly made her son and another boy apologize to each other on their hands and knees.

The freshmen at Waterford High School outside Modesto were being disciplined for fighting.

One boy said the principal made them get on their hands and knees, look at each other through a chair and promise to stop their behavior.

Penny Watson — the mother of one of the boys — says she plans to file a complaint with the district.

Watson says Principal Don Davis told her he meted out the unusual punishment rather than suspend her son.

Davis said he could not comment while the matter was being reviewed.

I don't really get it? Hands and knees ok. They were at equal level so it was not like one bowed down to the other, and was made a fool, they were made fools of by themselves.
