RE:-Student IN Classroom

You say you sit behind him and didn’t see anything. You have his back because you don’t want him to punk you like he does those boys back there. You know hes a punk and has bad temper. you know most of class is scared of him. You seen him get put out of class for bad stuff? don’t play him up like hes a good guy when you know hes a joker a lot and we laugh at him but he dont do right and you know it. You know him a long time. He is good to some of us but punks more than he is good to. We didn’t see them but we know how he is and we would take a lie test and pass it would you?

we may put our fear behind us and give statements about the friends that blocked and they will be charged for helping. You may want to change your story while there is time. backing a bad guy will never get you far. be a hero and tell the truth. She has a past, so what. He is no better and he did wrong.

we all lie in class and pretend to be against her because too many ears listen. we know he may not be in class no more but he could still get his punks in and school dont keep us from it and you know it. your group has wimps that dont take up for girls you should be ashamed for it. one day we will be stronger and will scream and tell on guys that punk.

I have read the words “sweetheart´´ and “nice kid´´ when some are writing about this young boy. Sweethearts and nice kids don´t expose themselves in a classroom. They have respect for others and themselves. I also read a comment about some wanting to fight this young girl. Again this shows the lack of respect for others and themselves. This teaching starts at home. Too many parents think it is the schools job to teach these things ( right / wrong, respect, morals) but these are thing that should start at home and then the schools build upon that.

Just want to point out since it seems no one else has that no where in the article does it say “the act” was performed. It says he grabbed her by the back of the neck and forced her head towards his genitals twice. Maybe it was just for a few seconds. However long it was it was wrong.
Also, why is this boy exposing himself in class? He should be expelled. He is a danger to other students. Not to mention being sixteen and in the ninth grade. He obviously isn’t interested in his own education.

There is no good answer to that question… Period! Why didn’t the “victim” scream her lungs off in a room full of other so called “fine” young people? There is no good answer to that question… Period! Why didn’t any of the other “fine” young people that witnessed an ongoing “assault” scream their lungs off? How could such a horrible act even take place with all these “fine” young people around in the first place? THERE IS NO GOOD ANSWER TO ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS… PERIOD!

Honestly, I was in the classroom when this happened, and I was sitting right behind them. I didn’t see anything happen. I mean, i’m not saying they didn’t do anything, but she could have at least screamed, bite him, some sort of way to get away if she was forced. I’m sure they both agreed to it. I’m not trying to like accuse anybody of anything, it’s just interesting.. the two stories we’re getting from both students. And to the people who have said anything, the other students sitting next to them were their best friends, and i’m sure they were telling her to and purposley blocking our teachers view. But as I said before, I was sitting right behind them, and honestly did not know ANY of this was going on.

Raymond was a sweetheart and everyone he knew at Tate knew it and loved him. he isn’t stupid and age doen’t matter im 16 and no one complanes to me about my age. Only those two know what the truth real is but keeping him from returning to Tate and stoping him from learning and playing football is in my opinon wrong. All the girl had to say was no and that be the end of it, however i agree perfrom the act in a reading class is extremly wrong. But honestly Raymond has gone through alot in the past week and problely wishes he never made the mistake that he did and she is thinking the same, why make it worse for them? Raymond i hope you get out of this soon and i hope that all the studnets at tate will suport him and her. I miss having Raymond in my class, im praying for you and im here for you

A good teacher paces the room at all times seeing that the student’s eyes are in the book, not elsewhere. She should not have been SITTING!!.

These kids probably needed to be expelled long ago. I am sure the teacher has had to discipline them throughout the year. Good teachers know to put the problem kids up front opposite each other.

This is toward the end of the year when kids get antsy, therefore the teacher should be more on her guard that ever.

Bet she won’t do that again.

@conner

Thanks.You summed it all up.My prayers are with both families and i know neither of the two involved.I have kids and i know i am good mother but i am pretty sure they have done or will done things i dont aprove of or will know nothing about.Kids minds start to wonder at a young age.No, its not acceptable what they done but i do realize they are still kids.More sex education classes should be brought to table (especially at home)rather hiding the subject from the kids as if they are never going to have sex.From reading some of the post i am glad there are still some caring and understanding people in this world.I try not to be to judgemental because Karma can hit you at any time.

@Conner………..Whatever!

As far as my comment about WWJD and Bill Clinton, it was to make a point about who’s example our young people should consider before pulling their pants down
in school for anything other than using the restroom. You have your opions and I have mine!

Our hard earned tax dollars are earmarked to support the Public School System for a better EDUCATION for our children in a safe, clean enviroment, not to provide a quickie motel for their sexual pleasure!
