Several months later, it was apparent that the girl had also acquired a nasty STD. My friend is quitting teaching after this year-she has had it with kids who simply do not have any boundaries.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-74775091751019220822008-05-21T16:44:00.000-07:002008-05-21T16:44:00.000-07:00Ronnie, have you taught teenagers?

Nothing like having to listen to middle aged people talk, or just the threat of it, to keep teens in line. As for that mom, she's a nutjob and her son is probably one of those that should have been BOLTED in his room.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-85786233705178734932008-05-20T18:31:00.000-07:002008-05-20T18:31:00.000-07:00My god are we seriously this paranoid and obsessed...My god are we seriously this paranoid and obsessed as a society that we are now using tape on doors to check if people are breaking curfews? What happened to teaching your children what's right and wrong and then letting your children make their own mistakes. Stuff like this is going to create a sheltered generation and a massive amount of cultural backlash that no one needs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656997291136912131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-43184907657057928522008-05-20T17:14:00.000-07:002008-05-20T17:14:00.000-07:00i think it was a very smart thing for the parent t...i think it was a very smart thing for the parent to do as long as it was just one strip of tape.<BR/><BR/>and my guess...ya the student is a panzy, or the parents are in need of pressing charges for dumb things just to get their debt paid offAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
