Oh! I've learned another good reason for force ignore! (I thought avoiding political would suffice to avoid this guy, but clearly not)

However, we also get the luxery of knowing we won't run into you at PTA meetings.

I guess the teacher/principal could have snapped and thrown excriment on the girl.

She was lumped in with others who were doing much worse than she. She probably should not have been arrested like that but if the principal had called the police in to deal with other kids doing much worse and she was implicated with them then it is understandable how that could happen.

Virtually all the HS and JHS/Middle Schools around here have a full time cop at the school to handle things like this (and worse). This officer usually knows the kids and which ones are problems and which aren't and would have been able to handle things at the school and if the other three got arrested or not, this girl probably would not have.

And since I am the only person From my school (before I was there/while I was there or since) to become an actuary, I am pretty sure no one here has ever written on my desk at school.

That's OK, this should have been in Political anyway.

That's true. I will never be there. Our kids will not be classmates if you use the public schools.

I didn't figure you for the type that hates their kids. Apathy is a possibility, too; I could have been wrong.

Yes, if getting it "mostly right" on matters like calling the cops is good enough for your kids, then I suppose it is understandable.

Even better than writing on the desk is filing the desk away. In my 8th grade shop class, I started using a file on the edge of the well-used shop bench, after 10 minutes of waiting for the teacher to show up. The first indication I had that he had arrived was the sharp upward tug on the hair on the back of my head. That little bit right above the neck that really hurst. Worst teacher ever. I should have sued. Or at least tried to get the guy fired.

Calling in the cops for writing on the desk would have been extreme at my school. But writing on the desk was probably our only graffiti problem.
