It's not an article. There is a video to watch. And, just below the video window, there is a comment button. Click it.

The videos said the parents who are in the school district said that it has a lot of problems and the focus should be on solving those.
So what these folks are saying is dishonesty is not one of those problems? Pathetic! |

First off we have all heard, “Leadership by example”. This guy is not totally worthless to the youth in that school district , , , , , , , , they can use him as a bad example. This does say a lot however about this country’s degrading (very quickly) values. My son is now 29 years old, in high school (years ago) he got in to a fight and I got the call. As the Vice Principal explained it all kids who fight are expelled for 3 days. Thinking that my son was in the wrong I asked right then and there, "why the hell did you start a fight"? I Should have known better, he was a good kid who had been trained in the Marshall Arts and was very self disciplined. The Vice Principle interjected that my son did not start it and the teacher in the class room had described it this way. The other boy pushed my son 3 times and my son responded with leave me alone and keep your hands off me. Then the other boy hit my son and in return my son released a retaliatory action on this kid that sent him over a table and out cold. So I asked what the teacher did to stop this, she asked the other boy to go set down each time that he pushed my son. She had the ability to call for help and never did until the other boy got what he deserved. I stated to the VP with, “then why does my son have to be expelled”? He defended himself and that is what he has been taught to do by me (same lesson I got from my Dad)! In a fight he stated the kid should let the teacher handle it and the kid who is starting it will be expelled. I stated to him that the teacher could not handle it; he responded that he did not say that. Yes he had when he stated three times she had asked the kid to set down. So I asked if you are teaching these young people that their own person is not worth defending when attacked what are we teaching them about defending their homes, families and this country? He stated that was not the same, I beg to differ with that and congratulated my son on earning 3 days off from school. 3 days later as we walked back into the school and friend of the boy who my son took out challenged my son right in front of me. I stated to the kid to come with me to the Principle, he stated to me an adult that he did not even know, “ F*** you”. A teacher walked up called him by name and told him to come with her to the Principles office and he did. They were going to send him back to class, I stated to the Principle that is not the response that you told me that resulted after a threat of a fight; I wanted the kid removed just like my son. They made me wait and wait to get my boy registered, the other kid’s parents came in and I could see the principle pointing at me as he talked to them in his office. You just have to wonder why our kids today even turn out as good as they do with the leaders who represent education that we have. By the way my daughter goes to the same school now, due to her brothers (2 ea.) reputations for being stand up kind of guys she has no issues. A matter of fact as a Cheerleader she has been recognized by her teachers, counselor and peers as an outspoken defender of the rights of other students and allows no one on her squad to harass any other student and reminds them that they represent not themselves but the student body, the squad and the entire school. And to those teachers who do stand up for our kids, earn their respect, takes time to be a human being first building a relationship of trust and then educating them with a high regard to respect our nation I thank you. Long I know! Semper Fi |

Just a guess here but doesn't he look about the right age to be a draft dodger to Canada. You know the ones! Cut and run and then got a pardon and allowed to come back home. Hell they got away with that why not turn around and claim they are vets if it now benefits them.
The Sorry SOB A$$Hole should be Fired, Arrested, Jailed for life, Bullwhipped (every other day don't want to be to cruel), Hung by the B^!!s sent back to Canada and then we can decide what to do about faking being a VET.!!!! Semper Fi |

Yep, you might be right and I don't want same sorry draft dodger teaching my kids the path to Canada. Did you hear the news today, only one WW1 vet remains alive. Now that guy is who our kids need to be learning about. God Bless him and all like him who truly did serve. |

I know how you feel. In our school, anyone involved in a fight gets punished. It doesn't seem fair but you have to look at it several ways. Each kid is going to claim the other threw the first punch and for each kids that agrees with one side there will be one on the other side saying the opposite. In ten years I've only seen one fight start. Most are in progress when teachers arrive. It's a hard call for the principal. But, I still don't think a kid should stand there and take a beating rather than defend himself. But there's nothing I can do. I'm just a teacher. That's why principals get the big money. |

"Candygram for Mongo" |
Chickasaw, I know how you feel. Three years ago my youngest daughter got into an altercation at school ( I taught both my girls to box rather than pull hair and scratch). She was jumped by another girl right outside the classroom and the teacher knew it was going to happen and didn't do anything to stop it. That meant a week at home plus failing grades for all her assignments during that period. My older one had already gone through that experience the year before and I was furious. I took my lawyer with me and deposed the principle, teacher and school resource officer on the spot. When that was done the teacher and principle were told that they and the school board were about to be sued for $10M for negligence in providing a safe environment for my kid, $150M in punitivie damages for her pain and suffering (even though she beat the other girl so badly she was out of school for 2 weeks). That got their attention real quick, and they were anxious to make it right and avoid court. My solution? Leave her in school and punish the guilty party and I would drop the suit. I also reminded them that I had 3 years to file a civil tort claim, and that if anything like this should happen again I would not only file on the old claim, but institute a new one for larger amounts. Thankfully, the Florida law changed and now you can legally defend yourself, with no obligation to back down.

The same problem still exists. How do you know who started it and who is defending themself unless an adult see's it start. But, of course, your case is different if a teacher knew there was a problem and did nothing. |
