> This begins to become apparent when school starts and children, even in their games, submit to the rules they have established and punish offenses following their own definitions

This is really the issue right here. Our schools neither allow children to play freely to make up their own rules. And certainly if any children decided to dole out their own punishments, that would be met with immediate hostility.

I don't think "Toddler justice" is the fix to our societal problems. Although props to POTUS is trying his best to set an example!

I'm not convinced of this. School is now largely seen as a day-care service everyone has a right to, so even when bullies get expelled, they often just get put at a different school to cause trouble for people who's parents care less.

Yes, but their approach to it is essentially relative lockdown of the students. Obviously that has benefits, but there are also costs.
