Is attending public school a right or a priviledge?
What?
Schools aren't run by hippies. Schools often have multiple no tolerance policies and suspend kids for doing the smallest shit all the time. Teachers ignore all students, let alone the bullies, and administrators ignore teachers let alone the students.
If its a right than it's more difficult to take away, right?Quote:

It's a privilege because it can be taken away for terrible behavior (what that is I don't know because I'm not a school admin). If it was a right, you'd have access to it regardless of what you did (like the right to an attorney, etc).Quote:

Of course, it's not that simple. A lot of families wouldn't be able to afford private school, and then you've got more kids out running the streets instead of being in school, then we all have more problems.
It's unrealistic, but wouldn't it be great if public schools were actually valued as a priviledge instead of being taken for granted as an expectation?
^^ It's called juvie?
Man, some families don't have 2 parents and some parents work 2 jobs and some parents are on welfare and some people are just doing it tough, yo...
Then pay attention at school you stupid motherfucker so you can go to college, get a real fucking job and move your family up outta the shithole you currently call home.
Fuckers gotta be told, gotta be shown - you tease a kid - you get a beating. You smack a kid - you get a beating. You raise your fucking hand at another kid - you get a beating.
WTF happened to all them coaches that Hollywood has in the movies?
Why isn't Samuel visiting schools asking "What is your deepest fear"? and shit?
Kids need to be shown that there is authority and that THE authority is not to be fucked with.
The reason crime is rising and kids are all fucked up is because no parent has the time or energy to discipline their kids like back when I was growing up.
If I was late home and no one knew ahead of time I had to explain. If it happened again it was my ass.
Today? Kids go home from school to an empty house, break out the champagne glasses and the motherfucking condoms and put 2Pac on their iPods.
While I agree with the sentiment, discouraging a beating as being wrong by responding with a disciplinary beating of your own doesn't exactly reinforce the notion, IMO.
It starts with the kid's level of respect for the parents. If the kid respects and admires his parents, he's less likely to want to disappoint them by being a fuckup.
Yeah, but they have to let the thugs back in, or else they don't get the dollars associated with the student headcount.Quote:
