A school resource officer in South Carolina was firedearlier this week and one thing that the FBI is lookinginto is whether he used excessive when arresting a16-year-old student,something that the officer'slawyer denies.
But the incident has fueled a national debate overdiscipline in American schools.
And what we're doing today is taking a look at what the law says about what can be doneconcerning school discipline.
If a student does something wrong, how far can schools discipline that student under the law?
Punishing crimes in class.
The answer to that question has changed a lot in just the last few decades.
It used to be police officers really weren't in schools 30 years ago.
But that all changed in the 1990s.
In 1994, Congress passed the Gun-Free Schools Act.
The act required states receiving federal funding to pass some very specific laws about studentdiscipline.
These laws led to a massive increase in police presence at our schools.
The school resource officer or SRO is a deputed police officer who's stationed right there oncampus.
As a result, schools now have police forces stationed on campus, and not surprisingly conductthat used to be jut on campus disciplined became a criminal case.
There's arguably some good justification for increased police presence in schools.
There had been tragic school shootings over the last couple of decades, and there are realconcerns about increased security on campus.
So, when it comes to schools disciplining students, the legal authority has expandeddramatically.
If a student misbehaves, brings a weapon to school, or otherwise breaks the law, schoolresource officers can and will arrest the student.
It's what we deputized them to do and it is within the law.
Up next today, in the U.S., a lot of people are talking about getting an extra hour of sleep thisweekend.
We fall back, meaning we turn our clocks back one hour on Saturday night.
This could help kids catch up on sleep after a busy night of hallowed trick or treating,but alsomeans there's very little daylight left after the school or workday is over.
Why do we do this?
Daylight Savings Time sounds kind of special.
You're not just saving time, you're saving daylight time.
But it puzzles the daylights out of some folks why we fall back to standard time.
That's what it's called-Standard Time.
We spend eight months out of the year in daylight saving time, but standard, which is hardlythe standard, is still called standard.
It's been shrinking since World War I.
That's when Daylight Saving Time was first implemented to save energy.
The switch made the sunset time, later in the day so people didn't have to turn their lights onas early.
But what about winter, and the fall back to Standard?
Well, look at it this way.
Most parts of the U.S. only get about 9 1/2 hours of daylight in winter time.
That's not much.If we didn't set our clocks back in the fall, sunrise wouldn't be until 8:30 a.m.in many places-you'd be starting and ending your day in the dark.
Falling back to standard keeps the time of dawn a little closer to what we're used to, and ithelps us start our day in the light.
Plus, there's that whole extra hour of sleep thing, assuming you go to bed on time when we fallback.
So, less daylight, but more sleep-unless you happen to live in Arizona or Hawaii.
Most parts of Arizona and all of Hawaii don't observe Daylight Saving Time.
They don't have to.
It's not required by law.
