3) paying money to keep lawyers on retainer

Oh yes. My school district, which is currently debating whether to keep libraries open for half days only or for three full days a week, should totally hire some hotshot lawyers so that they can then spend some extra time debating each minor disciplinary case before reaching a sensitive and balanced decision.

Or, people could accept that sometimes you get a slightly bum deal.

Two day suspension! It’s not exactly the end of the world. And you get to explain to kids that it’s never OK to shoot someone, even if it’s for pretend.
