Re: Paul Pastorek wants to put violent students back in scho
Posted by johnv on 4/09/08

    The problem with some teachers is that if you have no solutions, all
    you are doing in griping. Don't be part of the problem, be part of
    the solution. You speak in broad general terms about "violent and
    disruptive students" in general terms and you sure don't suggest any
    solutions. Again answer the question. What do you want done?
