Re: Is this for real?
Posted by johnv on 4/04/08

    You have to be kidding right? Saturday School. When the won't come to
    school unless forced Mon. -Fri. Get real! (By the way we are not
    talking about your experience of being locked in a closet.) Sure,
    swats don't work for some just like the court systems don't always
    work. Prison fails in many cases. So when your family get murdered, do
    you want the criminal brought to justice? Remember, court systems fail
    most of the time! Oh the bleeding heart liberals are evident! It is
    amazing how many of our students come from disfunctional families and
    have never experienced tough love. The same students get swats once or
    twice and decide they would like the chance to behave. And do!
