Police say they've had enough of fights in and outside Benton Harbor High School. There were several fights again in school Monday. A 14-year-old student was arrested for bringing a knife in and making threats.

This comes just days after police say they dealt with the largest brawl they'd ever seen. More than 200 kids were involved.

Obama’s people. And there is no need for high capacity magazines?

What ever happened to midnight basketball so these poor, disadvantaged youths had an outlet for their adolescent energy? (more crickets.......)

And I think it was “Benton Harper.” But it was long ago.

We always knew Benton Harbor had it in her, but it still makes me sad. Heathkit was there.

They had a couple days of rioting a few years back when some clown on a cycle ran from police and splatted on a brick wall.

[Cyber Liberty]

I remember.

Shakes head,

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

It’s known as “Benton Harlem” for a reason.

In order to get a direct non-stop flight at a reasonable rate, one of my sons had to drive my very sick son to Newark NJ from Long Island today. I saw the folks who got off the flight with him. Kinda scary. Is this a similar place?

[Cyber Liberty]

Imagine Newark in a rural setting. That’s Benton Harbor.

One of the students brought a knife? Probably for Home Ec class.

7% white

They’re trying to “discrepency” in the punishment rates between white and black students now, by punishing white kids for minor infractions because they don’t commit major infractions at the rate black students do. So they’d have to find a large group of white kids who chewed gum in class or something and give them the same punishment before they could do anything to the large groups of black kids fighting, rioting, “flash” mobbing, etc.

[mrsmel]

That should have been “close the discrepency”.

The government really needs to outlaw brawls.

Thanks Bon of Babble.
