... this seems like an invasion of a student's personal space/privacy, to me. Unless a life is in danger, they should not have any right to do this... can this be happening in MA? Next, you do not disrupt a classroom like this... the Principal should be exited. If there is cause for alarm, you investigate discretely. The Policeman entering a classroom is putting on a show. Unless there was a gun in the book, this is disruptive and unnecessary.
