If I had a grandkid that needed to move in with me, nothing would change on my end.
Your correct. It's hard to find parents that want to get off falsebook and get the kids off their vid games to go to the park and walk trails, go fishing, hunt, or just generally be outside.
I honestly don’t think he is. He is so cocky he probably thinks he is untouchable. Did you see his interview with Jake Tapper in which he made a bazaar comment about “if ifs and buts were candy oj Simpson would still be in the history books”? Tapper said I don’t know what that means. Israel acted like a cocky teenager. Just like he did on the CNN town hall debate. He was bowing his chest out running his mouth about no 18 year old should have a rifle and that AR’s need banned out of existence. The crowd roared with applause and he sat there like he was somebody special. This guy is so full of himself it’s hard to believe. He is more interested in trying to be a celebrity now than he is investigating his departments failure. He don’t care about one single kid in that school. If I were the governor I would have already fired his sorry rear. I hope there are some kind of charges him and his pathetic deputies can be brought up on. If there ain’t then there should be.
And let's don't forget that the "make themselves look better than they are" isn't just driven by their image to parents. There's also a financial incentive, courtesy of the federal government: money gets doled out based in part on crime statistics.IMO, this only addresses suspensions, not other actions. It is and should be at the discretion of the school to determine suspensions and expulsions, with mechanisms for redress of course.
Kids get in fights and unless someone goes to the hospital, should probably be handled internally and with the parents/guardians. Any student assaulting a teacher or other school staff should be detained and subject to law enforcement investigation. If a felony was committed, or a misdemeanor in the presence of the LEO, and arrest should be made. That process should NOT be subject to school administration control or review. There should NEVER be a school policy or procedure discouraging the reporting or investigating of a crime, particularly a violent one.
Sadly, some schools and even municipalities and counties discourage crime reporting and investigations, because they make up the statistics by which that jurisdiction is judged by. They're gaming the system to make themselves look better than they are, while failing to recognize that they're actually making their crime problems worse, not better.
