This is unbelievable and really gets under my skin. A 15 year old boy was set on fire in Deerfield Beach, FL by kids he knew.
What the heck is going on down there?
Parents must take responsibility for their children instead of abdicating responsibility and expecting teachers to do a parent's job!
That means if your child is caught having sex in the bathroom, you leave work to come pick your child up instead of being unavailable.
If your child cusses at a teacher, gets caught stealing, or is fighting with another student, you drop whatever it is you are doing and come get your kid.
Then you stick by the rules you laid down. Otherwise, you're just raising another problem who will hurt someone, who we will have to remove from the community AND who we will have to pay for to sit in jail contemplating how "society" did him or her wrong.
WAKE UP!
