My school's policy states that if someone was to walk up to you and attack you, you must either take the beating no matter how severe and not ge suspended or defend yourself and get 10 days suspension. Does it make sense to not defend yourself when someone is hitting you? Wouldn't you fight back to save yourself. I just want to know because in my school, that's how alt of people get suspended.

This is what happens with "Zero Tolerance" policies. A grade school recently suspended a kid for DRAWING something that LOOKED like a gun.
No, it does NOT make sense. Unfortunately, it is NORMAL in US public schools.

I would tell the school to F off and I would defend myself and take the suspension. My parents would support me on this.

Tell your school if you get beaten in their premises, your parents will sue them and go to the News of the world for their supporting the attackers and taking away your human rights by not allowing you to protect yourself whilst being assaulted.

If you don't hit back, it is obvious you are being attacked instead of having a physical fight. It's only to make sure kids innocent of fighting don't get into trouble.
