“a parent”
Thank you for posting the West Florida Home Education Support League. I have been so upset about the school system and have not known what to do or who to trust. You have provided a great source. Thank you.

Despite the fact that the entire truth has yet to be reported, some interesting comments have been made.

Before students reach school, they grow up in a home, acting as sponges and mirrors, absorbing and reflecting what they encounter there. Given both students’ admitted and alleged behaviors, it makes me wonder what went on in those households while the children were still very young.

Successful education requires three sets of willing participants: schools, parents/guardians, and students. Remove one of these from the equation and schools become nothing more than glorified babysitting at public expense, with any learning and teaching being more accidental than intentional.

Fixing this would require a long-term seachange in how American culture works. As this would require upwards of 20 years and many businesses would – gasp! – lose money, necessary changes are unlikely to be proposed, let alone executed, due to their very nature being political suicide.

I knew Raymond sort of. On the same football team. That chick has a rep for doing that and people who were in that class knew exactly what that girl did. If someone on here doesn’t know him don’t say nothing cause it’s not your place to say anything

“This is getting out of hand”. ???

IT HAS BEEN OUT OF HAND NOW FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

Parents are waking up, they remember what they went through at school.
It is time to take them out of school.
I as a parent can do a better job finding alternative ways to teach. There is ACE, paces, video school, i.e ( enterprise) for math’s. Where there is a will there is a way.

Look up wfhesl (West Florida Home Education Support League) for Florida.

They can get you started. . Our children need not tolerate this behavior at all.

Yah David I dont get it. The boy admitted to most of it and wittnesses are not taking his side and yet people are still bashing the girl. There is more than one thing going on here. 1) the attack 2) the lack of control from the teacher, and 3) Tates tardiness on the reporting it to the police. And some people wanna blame all this on a 14 year old girl and bring up her past. (if its even true) There are many problems here and they all need to be fixed.

If this punk is being kept until trial, the judge knows something we don’t. Good for them on putting him away. And if he is guilty there are a LOT of NE.com commentators who will need to type out apologies to the young girl.

bjay,
please don’t be rude. Just tell us what a wonderful person he is so we can see the error of our ways and will understand why what he himself admitted to is appropriate in a classroom.

molino mom, you do have a very good idea…..i sure hope that the powers to be, will listen and institute a similiar plan, such as this….its not brain surgery!…a cost effective method, utilizing willing parents/adults to do what they (schools) are obviously unable to do properly.
