Schools getting into kid's business

[Edwina's Secretary]

I really don't have a problem with school but they are always butting into our outside lives.

Interesting to juxaposition this statement to the recent events at Virginia Tech where some people complained because the school did NOT butt into a student's life enough.

It is a difficult balancing act for schools and school administrators....

Thats totally true I agree with you 100%

Funny ES - you and everyone else not on our campus or involved with our school has said that. If you actually listened to the students you might actually know that what you are saying is dead stinking wrong. When are you going to get your facts right?

I keep on having to correct you...but I will say yet again - dont talk about something you know nothing about.

When I was in High school they blocked these kinds of websites - end of story - no problems there...from there on it is only the parents job to take care of it....when I was there it was LJ. With Myspace - dont trust it too much - even if it is only friendly information - I used it earlier on in college and I had a big problem that was in part due to my own stupidity and naivety....just be careful with it.

Sorry for your pain. But the fact remains that there has been extensive discussion if the school should have done more.

The issue of the role of schools as "in loco parentis" has been going on for a long time.

Not being there would prevent anyone not in the World Trade Center from having an opinion about the events of 9/11.

Again, I am sorry for you pain, but the discussion goes on.

Well said ES, unfortunately things need to be learned from these horrible events.
