Yes there is. It is very far beyond a reasonable process. Simple, clear, written rules and policies suffice for discipline. The Sudbury “process” unnecessarily enables arbitrary, subjective control based on tyranny of a majority a.k.a. ganging up. Banning from class for a week because person A didn’t like something person B did and got a few people to agree. Extra-judicial and arbitrary. The so-called supreme court style discussions are the giveaway that novices have strayed out of bounds. Recall, democracy is not a good thing as our Founding Fathers understood. I’m so happy my kids didn’t attend a horror show like that.
Meanwhile, in a typically authoritarian school, kids are sent to the principal's office to be punished without due process. And according to you, that's not the horror show. Wow.
I was one who got punished for being in the wrong place, wrong time. I was not with the offending students (age 10?) but was punished with them. However - I lived. My crying was not an emergency.
You lived, JC, but apparently with a kind of Stockholm syndrome that keeps you from acknowledging the political implications of what happened to you. Bite the bullet, man. Admit how outrageous it was.

Break the clear rules, get sent to the Principal’s office. Simple and straightforward. Your crying is not an emergency.

So, according to you [la chevalerie vit], all that stuff about being presumed innocent until proven guilty is for crybabies?
Take your strawman elsewhere. Goodbye.
