Suspended for helping another student!
I grew up in a very strict time but no one would of suspended anybody for helping someone.
People had full mental capacities and common sense back in those days.
See what happens when the government and the culture take your mind.
Time for John Galt's speech right about now, but I doubt people today can understand it.

It's like in Forbidden Planet when Robbie The Robot is asked to kill the monster and his 'brain" burns out. That's what I always picture on those occasions. (Sorry, I'm just an elderly nerd.)
I especially enjoy when I encounter a policy that's physically (or logically) impossible and having to step some poor schmuck through the logic step by step - sometimes 2 or 3 times, all in an attempt to get a higher-up on the line. Just as annoying are contradictory policies. The drones are incapable of understanding them, they can usually recite them, though.
I might have related this once before... I was grocery shopping, Gorton's fish was on sale. I was choosing between two slightly different kinds and the price tag for one of them was absent. I wanted whichever one was cheaper per pound. (I also had a foot that was so painful I could barely walk on it and thus a hugely obvious limp.) I made it to the register area and asked the head cashier how much it cost. She went to an empty register and scanned it and told me the price. I asked how much per pound (thinking it might say on the price lookup). Reply, it's sold by the box, sir, not by the pound. Yes, I understand that, but there's still a cost/pound, can you tell me that? Sir, it's only sold by the box! {{{Grrrr, if I put your brain in a box I could get by with a very small one!}}}
Hey, that might make a fun topic. Relate an experience you've had with one of the Marching Morons.

My son & I in a fairly fancy restaurant. The waiter takes his time getting around to us. We're on our lunch break and need to be back at the office soon. Finally the waiter deems to ask for our order. My son whispers, "Watch this." He says to the waiter, "Do you have scruples?" Waiter looks puzzled. He says, "I don't think so."
Son says, "Ask the chef, please." Waiter comes back and says, "The chef says we don't have scruples." Son stands up looking very angry, "What! You don't have scruples? I won't eat at any restaurant that doesn't have scruples!" and he storms out. We bought some tacos at a taco stand on the way back to the office.
at the grocery store for scratch, and can't find any.
maybe they couldn't, either! -- Good One;;; Sharp Son! -- j

my wife is a great cook, and I keep asking her where
we can find it -- so that I can cook, too! -- j

someone would do it for him if he were choking! -- j

Can you imagine how much worse it would have been for that boy if he'd whipped out his inhaler and given it to her?
much time (limited use in the public library) or pa-
tience to read Terms of Service and/or Privacy
Policies on websites, which has caused me con-
siderable annoyance and trouble already in looking for jobs. So I gave up the idea of com-
menting on that article to the publishers of that
article on the Internet, and am commenting here.
Of course, public education is no part of the
proper function of government (except for police
academies, military technical training, and may-
be physical training for legitimate government
functions, such as repairing the furnace in the
courthouse). Also, since education teaches
thought processes, it is something the govern-
ment (whether Federal, State, or local) should
definitely not be in charge of.-- And what you
get is jail presided over by contemptible, power-
lusting tyrants.
Whats next, email the fire dept a building is burning? And than a second email someone is trapped inside? Mean time you are watching it happen and not lift a finger. (Like most stupid reporters would do.)
life-saving effort. . surely there's a little nugget of
common sense surviving in there somewhere! -- j

I wish to present an extreme example~
If I saw a death row inmate on the floor of his cell having trouble breathing, my response to get him medical help would have been immediate.
Irrelevant would be the fact that his execution would be scheduled later that same day.
My immediate response would protect my job and prevent me for being sued for negligence.
You had better believe that inmate's family (if not just his lawyer) would be eager to sue the DOC for allowing that waste of breathing space for a murderer to die or even unduly suffer before his legally scheduled lethal injection.
The DOC would try to wiggle out that tort action by presenting training documents that I signed to place all the blame on me.
Compared to a death row inmate, one would think that a choking girl on a classroom floor would be of far more value and a far higher priority for a life threatening emergency.
Come to think of it, I now wonder if the parents of that girl are not consulting a lawyer.
That pudding head for a teacher has left her butt wide open for her failure to practice some common sense CYA.
Hopefully all the embarrassing press will bring about a change to that protocol.
While I was in the DOC, there were constant memos about some modification to standard operating procedure.
At least one or up to three prestige jargon words were sure to appear in each memo: implement, utilize and facilitate.
The teacher didn't care. she was willing to let the student die. I don't care t about feeble weak scummy excuses but that Only Following Orders crap is left wing socialist fascist Serrious trouble? That's what lawyers are for.. She never heard of the good samaritan laws? Can nobody rid us of these animal scum! No dean no principle, no administrator no janitor no cell phone to call an ambulance she did nothing. No cell phone? Teenagers? BS no way to contact anyone else in the absence of her superiors.
These people don't care about human lives .....she's just another Hillary.
What's her excuse besides a nuremberg defense? Which isn't a defense but an admission of guilty with a plea for clemency.
My rational and considered opinion delivered in calm unctuous tones. Is have a trial find her guilty, take her down to the pound with the other animals. They have gas chambers.
Think those kids are going to feel safe in that classroom every again? Watch their teacher let someone die?
Maybe she thinks that brown lives don't matter?
Yes and i did clean up the orignal....this is a family hour forum. my apoligies
It clearly would have been in her own "rational self interest" to help...only sheep and dear just stand there taking no action...or as you said...only taking orders and not knowing right from wrong.
Suddenly a young long haired blonde girl collapsed from fainting. Guess who handled it. The teacher. She sat her up, got her on her knees and had her bow over to get her head between her knees. Blood and oxygen flowed back into the brain and she recovered. End of story.
One of the tactics of statist thugs is to punish individuals who violate orders, especially when the orders fly in the face of morality. The goal is to destroy empathy and the natural tendency of the individual to act on his own judgment.
Without empathy, society can be much more easily controlled by the power-elites; individuals will turn their backs on their fellow "subjects" with hope of earning favor by those in control.
It's really this simple: It's not about education, it's not about health care, or having a safe country, or a healthy economy, or a fail-safe power-grid/water system, environment, or anything else they promise. It's about controlling YOU. Gently if possible, but by force if necessary.
