At least at the school my kids go to, the staff is basically not allowed to discipline students for minor infractions.

There were kids leaving trash out after lunch, and one of the staff had the worst offenders pick up trash before leaving the lunch room. This practice was banned because it was "degrading."

That's just the most recent story, there are dozens others like it.

More on topic, we got a letter from the teacher that my son was playing games. I said "why not just take the Chromebook away when that happens?"

The response: oh we can't do that.
