| I think if you are caught taking someone else's things, or inflicting pain upon another person you are heading for trouble and it needs dealt with. Maybe bad seed was the wrong word but being late for school I don't think is that big a deal if there is a reason and good enough. I went on my break at 10 this morning and saw a young man walking with just a windbreaker and I gave him a ride because he had no vehicle but he was walking to work. I will be going back after work to give him a leather coat that I had laying around. My son was late to school for 3 days because when I got ill I had to depend on others to take care of him. They wanted him to stay after school, it wasn't going to happen. Our children count on us as parents to get them where they need to go. I count on the school administrators and teachers to give him an education but also protect him while he is there. You said uniforms will help with disciplan not if there isn't a reaction to actions. The teachers know and you can tell by the way they look and act. An apology letter doesn't cut it, In the daily globe we let a man off with probation for assault on a 13 year old. I just don't think clothes are going to solve the problem and why did the Middle School get a 233,000 survelience system if we don't do more to stop the problems. It's not easier on the parents because I'm a parent and it's hard sometimes to find his size and then you have to special order and that's an expense I don't want. As far as class well when does the hard fact come into play that there will always be someone with more money and more things than you and that's the way the world is. If you think you have it bad there's always someone that has it worse. Learn to deal.  |
