There was a cop who stayed there all day everyday at my highschool.

It just seemed like a waste of money to me because he could be out patrolling the streets.

I'm in the USA btw.

Bring back the cain lol. Seriously, teachere are practically not allowed to do anything now... Not even shout at pupils as it could have damaging implications further down the line... or the child may feel that the teacher is directly abusing them lol...

Ahhh I love this country

...Agree!
If the teachers are allowed to discipline the students for shouting, throwing projectiles(solid things, not just paperballs) across the class, general lack of attention, cursing the teacher on a a daily basis(like in my class), the students would get the hint and behave themselves.

A student can shout and yell at a teacher but the teacher can't even say "shut up" without the students screaming murder.

Our school has a couple full time police officers and there police cars all over the place.
