In the Bad old days kids were taken aside, talked to, given the proper guidance-or a swift arse kicking if need be.

ANd that brings me to the teacher.

She gets no support or any kind of sympathy from the community.

It shows you the effing respect we have for anyone in command-teachers especially. We send the kids to school to learn and when they act like animals
everyone jumps to their side and blames the system.
Ok, I said I wasn't going to comment anymore on this, but, Richard's response made me do it!

1. My 8th graders were talking about it today (they found that more interesting than the 8 murders in a week here) and thought it was FUNNY! That speaks volumes for our society.

2. In reference to the Alphabet Kids...my favorite is ODD...opposition defiance disorder...in my youth that child would be called exactly what his is...a SPOILED BRAT who needs a good swift kick in the butt.

3. In reference to Richard's comments on the lack of support for teachers...I have only one thing to say.... RICHARD...WOULD YOU MARRY ME???
