Yes, candy. They like stickers, too.

This is very sad. A lot of these kids have troubled home environments. If the parents or single parent just don’t give a blank what happens in school, and kids don’t do homework and don’t cooperate in class, what can we do? Schools could spend twice as much money on these types of kids, and what would it accomplish?

Schools and teachers don’t have the authority they need to reach these kids. So you can’t hold kids after school anymore because you have to notify the parents first? But then parents can’t be reached because they don’t have the right phone number? Or the parents are allegedly at work and can’t be reached to approve that after shool discipline?

Our country is in trouble,and schools are clearly troubled. God help us all if this description is true for a critical mass of public school students.
