My brother, a freshman at California High School, was recently involved in an incident away from school in which another kid physically attacked a friend of my brother's. My brother decided to defend his friend by pushing the assailant away, so the attacker turned his attention to my brother. My brother then defended himself by fighting back, and came out with the better end.
The next week, my brother was called in to the office, and recieved a three-hour detention, on the grounds that, although his actions took place away from school grounds and not during school hours, because he had not yet gone home (he was at a shopping center near a skate park) the school was still responsible for him, and had every right to discipline him. Is this true? Is it legal for a public school to punish a student for something done away from school grounds, after school, but before the student reached his home?

NO NO NO !!!!
You are who you are, and as you grow old you will realise that the only person you have to answer to is yourself.
I just read one of your answers to someones question, and you are very intellegent. Be who you want to be, FU@K the RULE. You will be a good person I can just tell from what you wrote in your answer to the girl asking about "is it too young to get married"
You were spot on. I know, cause I've been through all sorts and still only 28.
Stay strong and follow your own instinct.

In this case, I don't think it warrants it. If your brother was, let's say, dealing drugs after school and off school grounds, then yes, he should certainly be disciplined.

with the aid of fact your mum and dad signed a form that gave the college "in loco parentis" status meaning they have all the comparable rights as your mum and dad quite lots, which contains removing cellular telephones. Btw, that is not your cellular telephone, it is your make certain's cellular telephone. it is likewise your make certain's iPod, and if your college desires to in no way hand it over to you, they don't ought to. they are able to maintain it until your mum and dad manifest soliciting for his or her telephone. And definite, if your make certain's telephone is broken on a similar time as interior the custody of the college, they are able to sue the college for the cost of the telephone. Wanna comprehend the thank you to maintain your cellular telephone and iPod? leave it on your bookbag and don't apply it to college grounds once you at the instant are not meant to. concern solved, kiddo.

If it was on school property or some sort of school event, YES. But you could report it to the school board
