More on the issue
Some school districts in Texas have police officers write tickets to students who disrupt class, skip school, or misbehave in other ways. Kids can be sent to court and face fines of up to $500. Some people think this is fair punishment that troublemakers will learn from quickly. Others say that it's not right to punish kids in the same way as adults. What do you think?
