    It may surprise you Brian that I think the ban is needed…not because it couldn’t be beneficial if implemented by rational mature educators; but because the reality is that there are far too many irrational immature teachers and principals who don’t have the discernment required to make decisions of this magnitude. Much like the death penalty…in a perfect world it may make sense…but in the real world with the element of incompetency and human errors/mistakes growing by leaps and bounds we can’t expose our kids to a system where they could be the victim of a bad decision or error. That’s my opinion anyway.
