So when I read an article like this I just toss up my hands in frustration.
What's going is too much rules-based thinking based on a society being run by lawyers.
Jeepers, I used to take my embroidery to study hall. I had scissors AND needles. Did that make me some kind of terrorist? Common sense must have died.
Appology is not enough. 30 days docked pay for EVERY adult involved. 30 days suspended for the police officer. Constitutional Law classes mandatory for School Administration.
We really need a "DUH?" alert.
You have to wonder what kind of morons are running these schools. No wonder the kids aren't learning anything any more.
This is the school district my 19 year old son dropped out of. It is putrid!! He told me all the varieties of drugs he could by IN SCHOOL and this kid gets arrested for scissors. You toss your hands up in frustration,think how I feel, my tax dollars pay for this s**t! Thanks for the ping.
The ongoing saga of stupid teachers and their idiotic administrators in the news highlighting their intellectual brightness.
Would you hire these people to educate your kids?
I wouldn't hire someone like that to run a gas-mart.
I have got half my grandkids out of public schools, and I'm working on the other half.
Separation of school and state.
Did you have an 11-year old raping a 12-year old in the stairwell at your school?
That happened here in Philly about 2 weeks ago, right before another incident where a 9th grader was gunned down outside of another school and killed. And the child with scissors gets arrested. If I had the money I'd be sooooo out of this city.
Respectfully disagree, having been in the legal profession for 20+ years. Will be the first to admit that some lawyers shouldn't be lawyers, but I've been fortunate enough to, for the most part, to have worked for conservative-type lawyers.
The thinking of society makes the landscape ripe for lawyers, not the other way around. When the "rules-based thinking" is replaced with personal responsibility and a duty to one's own character and others, then the lawyers will have to head for deep water instead of circling in the shallow pools. Here's a good example from a long time ago. A middle aged woman comes to our office with a shunt in her forearm. She wants to sue the hospital. The woman went to the emergency room two nights ago and they placed the shunt in her arm to administer fluids. I screens this lady in the initial interview that went something like:
Dummy: So I sat deh fo two hours and da nuss come in and take off the bag. She didn't take dis ting out my arm.
Me: Did you ask her at that time if she was going to take the shunt out of your arm?
Dummy: Naw, she leff it in and den some odder nuss come in and tell me I can go. She didn't take it out either.
Me: Did you ask that nurse about the shunt that was still in your arm?
Dummy: Naw. She told me I could go so I got dressed and left.
Me: What were you wearing when you left the hospital?
Dummy: I had on {whatever) and a jacket.
Me: It was cold so you had on a jacket? And the jacket covered the shunt in you arm?
Dummy: Yea.
Me: On your way out of the emergency room, did you stop at the nurses station to ask about the shunt in your arm and whether or not you should leave the hospital with it in your arm? Did you stop by the ER admitting station to ask whether it should be removed? Did you ask the guard on your way out the door?
Dummy: Naw, I figger if they was gone remove it they would have.
So now she wants to sue because two days later the thing is still in her arm. Most people in their right mind would realize this thing needs to come out before they go home. Not someone who sees dollar signs for doing absolutely nothing they earned.
That mindset comes first. Then the lawyers come.
The kids seem to know more than the teachers and teachers administration.. Liberals in any job seem to bring confusion.. Teacher, lawyer, elected official, art, cop you name it.. Liberalism is indeed a mental disease.. infecting any society..
Heavens no, (no stairwells). When I went to school the biggest problem was the Chemistry teacher looking for the gas leak with a match. (He found it.) The problem today being a complete inability to teach morals in the school. And if you try to teach them at home you're a bigot or worse.

"If I had the money I'd be sooooo out of this city."
I don't think you can afford to stay.

I swear Woodrow, one of these days this crap is going to be thrown in front of the wrong person and all hell is gonna break out.

So did you pull the thing out of Dummy's arm and stick a band-aid on it? And then ask her, "Did you ever think of doing that"?
