Be careful how we word comments. None of us were there and we really don't know circumstances. By the way, I'm not defending anyone, just trying to look at it as if Mr. Wellington was in my family. How would I feel with people posting comments like the ones being posted. We all know at times the whole truth is not always told. Be blessed.
I have to disagree with city deweller reasons why: you don't know all the teachers,aides,administrators, and police officers that work in the system. People dont want to hear and believe some pupils (not all) are very argumentive, defiant, and etc. These student have no respect for adults. The issue about dress code for examle: the school has been doing dress code for how long. Every year letters are sent home. However, students are defiant about what they can wear. Parent/teacher conference: the percentage of parents and guardiance going to these meetings are low. We need to stop putting the blame on just the schools. I'm not saying that YCS is perfect, there is a lot of room for improvements. But it is time that we come together as a community and work together. That mean volunteering time to help come up with a solution, and not be part of the problem. These children are the future. I'm tired of seeing young children failing. Believe or not, JJC is full with these children. You have Probation officers coming into schools. There is problems in the home. We have to seek out help to these children and family. Again we should not judge, we need to say "what can I do to help." I hope everybody will pray for these children. Because it effects everyone. Thank you and God Bless!
