So? He kneeled on her for all of 30 seconds, can't tell if it was on her neck since the video resolution is so low. And handcuffing is the easiest was to control her.

Getting rid of resource control officers has done nothing but increase violence in schools.

30 seconds is long enough to put someone unconscious. The guy is twice her size, he could easily hold her down with no trouble, without the need for a technique like that.

That article has some iffy reasoning. Two of the people quoted talk about it being better when they were kids, which doesn't tell us the causes of increased fighting or even if there really are any. The district is clearly taking steps to moderate the issues that lead to fights. Those steps need a while to work.

Background: I practice a martial art that teaches restraints and chokes, as well as working in schools. On the occasions I've had to separate people, I haven't needed to do more than get between them and maybe hold them.
