The Student Drug Heroes Return

Several students were involved in prescription drug dealing. They all returned to school, following 10 day suspensions, as heroes. The atmosphere in the hallways was eerily evil. WHY? An assistant superintendent had two deaths in the family, and for some reason, the SUPERINTENDENT, the CURRICULUM SUPERVISORS, and the District Solicitor couldn't conduct the hearings necessary in the cases for all the drug offenders, within the timeline.
This district has not always had an asst. Superintendent, so this isn't a new situation - There have always been hearings - and district officials had to be present. SO, long story short, the air was doomed in our school building all last week, and the drug lords moved back in to control their turf. Many of us could sense the evil, and were happy with the short week, to be safe at home.

Could something happen in our schools, yes, these kids are operating with a "dullness" lacking in sensitivity, and compassion, and in their selfishness - Me-1st attitude, they will try to stop anyone, especially the adults.

Another example of the way discipline is dolled out in this school. We began the school year with a top notch data base to log in the behaviors we were seeing in our classrooms. In the state of Pennsylvania, this file alone could have made excellent profits for the development of such programs for secondary schools across the state. Just this week, it was decided that - when all the data was not "acted on" by the principals, - we lost the data base and went backwards to "paper reports." The creator of the program pulled it, and I hope she never permits anyone to see it. I think someone would want to steal it.

Also, a janitor was falsely accused of making girls "uncomfortable" while they were in the Junior High Restroom. THE JANITOR'S SUPPLY CLOSET IS IN THE NARROW ENTRANCE HALL TO THE GIRL'S RESTROOM. How can he do his job? Girls stay after school for activities, sports, cheer-leading, and could be in those restrooms until well after an event into the evening hours, as late as 9 p.m. The Janitor begins his shift at 3 p.m. So, for 6 hours of his 8 hour shift - he isn't allowed to access his supply closet? WHO IS REALLY AT FAULT HERE? WHERE DOES COMMON SENSE COME IN?
Why was the whim of an immature girl taken as as gospel truth? The janitor did nothing, saw nothing, but was hurt beyond with the accusation that he was "peeping" or acting in voyeurism. When he works weekends, he has to "close" this restroom, to avoid any further implications that he was in the area of a girl's restroom.

Say a prayer for his soul. He grieves and carries a heavy heart. He is God's child. Those who have pointed fingers began by listening to the whims of immature girls & then, knee-jerk reacting, and pointed three fingers back at themselves.
