Anytime you have an institution that, upon seeing it has failed to achieve it’s purpose-educating young people- but only sees asking for more money as the solution, you have a broken structure.

Have you read any of he writings of, John Taylor Gatto?

This one is short, but provides a nice summary:

It’s all water under the bridge as they say, and I am much stronger for getting through it all and it is probably why I have been so successful in the ‘real’ world.

I had my 30th HS reunion last year and saw one of the guys who terrorized me back then and the first thing he said is one of the reasons he showed up was to apologize to me, he was sorry and ashamed. He was one of the one’s I couldn’t take on. He hit me so hard once I didn’t even THINK of hitting him back. I told him all was forgiven long ago, but I appreciated his coming to apologize.

Maybe my experience is why I am such a stickler for the rules.

The fact that the inmates generally run the institution is a big part of it, as I was bullied CONSTANTLY until I after reached puberty. Teachers cannot watch everyone all the time. On the bright side, it made me so tough that classmates who had 50lbs on me avoided picking on me the rest of my school career because they knew I would cause them pain or injury if attacked, and warned others of the high price for messing with me as well;-)

BTW bikerbob, one of the FIRST things you learn when you are institutionalized is not to RAT on the other inmates as it is dangerous to your health… The ‘Hoods’ as they were called then, had their own kind of ‘justice’ and it was always violent. Back then kids were never tried as adults no matter what offense they committed.

BTW, anyone catch today’s headline:Lower Merion School District sued for cyber spying on students

Keep your children out of church so they won’t be molested

Avoid institutions of higher learning or they’ll be gunned down.

Don’t leave children alone with their parents if the parent had a relationship that ended badly.

No carnival rides for anyone under the age of 21.

Remove the child from the home of any adult who consumes alcoholic beverages.

We already have enough silliness to go around without adding new levels

“The last that was seen of Mikey was me seeing his back walking into that yard,” Rood said. “And me thinking “Oh crap! I should call him.’”

Police divulged few other key details of their investigation, but Carroll and Mayor Mark Asmundson called a news conference to assure their town that the crime was an isolated event, and that there is no danger that a random killer is stalking the streets.

“This community is a safe community,” Carroll said.

And you don’t need another Study!

VOTE WEA, Just look where Letourneau’s daddy worked, a State Legislature!

Letourneau first met Vili Fualaau when he was a student in her second grade class at Shorewood Elementary School in Burien, Washington.[ She became his teacher again when he was in the sixth grade, after she had become a teacher of a combined fifth and sixth grade class that he happened to be in. She began a relationship when Vili was 12 years old.She became pregnant by him in the same grade, when Vili was 13 and she was 35. Her husband became aware of the situation when he read their letters to each other in February 1997 and revealed it to family members,. His brother then reported the relationship to local child protection services.

Is that kind of like the pedophiles, with that Teachers Union Membership?

It, never happens, is just part of that sex ed class!
