Way to set the standard, Struthers! I applaud this effort. This is an important aspect of teaching our kids at a young age that you can't "have your cake and eat it, too." And great support to the parents who are trying to keep their kids on the straight and narrow. The consequences of drug abuse need to start at a young age, unfortunately. This policy is great in that it makes our kids think more than twice before they say "yes" to destroying their futures. .
"The government is secretly collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top-secret court order, according to the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee." What's the big SECRET?!!!! TOP secret!
Pre-marital sex is a sin and publicly preached about to all by the Catholic Church; the issue of forced sex is swept under the carpet..
I do believe and hope that all religious leaders will be more aware and open to speaking out about and reporting sexual abuse so the victims get justice and closure, and so the abusers can't continue hurting more victiims going forward.
It's embarassing this happens within a religious community, but we're taught that we're all human and no one is without sin. WHY the big cover-up and hush-hush attitude toward sexual abuse? Why are the ABUSERS being shielded and protected?
I'm truly sorry for all the victims who have experienced any type of sexual abuse, not just within the Catholic community. May God bless you, comfort you, and help you to heal.
Can anyone tell me why our kids get SENT HOME for misbehavior? And the school, who deems the kid needs disciplined can't punish the infringement that was committed in their building against their rules?
Being sent home for bad behavior sounds like "paid vacation" to me, especially if parents are working and the kid is unattended at home once dropped off. Surprising that more kids Ain't Misbehavin'!
Aren't there any toilets that need cleaned at the school? The military, in my day and age, loved to have problem recruits scrub toilets and clean shower stalls/floor tiles with TOOTHBRUSHES, and if not done up to par, the problem children needed to re-do the job until done right. (Can you imagine the lawsuits in that scenario if this or some similarly unpleasant but necessary chore were implemented as punishment to problem children in our schools?)
Scrubbing toilets seems to be a much less violent punishment than the PADDLE! (doesn't it?!)
I'm laughing in writing, but I seriously want to SCREAM or CRY every time I see or hear a parent rebel "privately" or publicly against a school's attempt at discipline within their 4 walls. WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR KIDS?
Bottom line, we adults need to support each other in teaching our kids right from wrong, Whether it's teachers, neighbors, police, or other parents involved in that process, let's GET REAL and quit defending our kids who don't follow the rules made for their own good.
I always told my kid, back in the day, when my kid, his friends, or other parents felt the punishment at school was too severe or unfair--WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, IT'S A LOT SIMPLER TO FOLLOW THE RULES THAN TO BREAK THEM.
It may take awhile for our kids to grow up, but consistency in having and enforcing consequences for misbehavior in all environs of a young person's life might, just might, make a big difference for the better..
Struthers moves forward with drug testing
