Current 8th graders at NCS, applying out for 9th?

[Anonymous]

If the school won't address serious issues, why does the Board sit idle? I know the Board does not manage the school, but what happens when the school isn't managed? There have been multiple issues similar to this 8th grade problem. The tactic seems to be "ignore and let it go away".

Bad parenting such as this is how these girls got in this predicament in the first place. Unfortunately, if this behavior is not squashed by parents or the school it will only continue and escalate. Sure kids make mistakes, but if there are no consequences how will they ever learn from it, change their behavior, and become better human beings? Parenting and running a school can be tough jobs, but they are jobs that should be done well. Trust me everyone will respect those who do it well - even if that means being tough sometimes, setting boundaries, and enforcing consequences. In the end, you will be respected more by everyone, even the offenders.

You seem a little dense.

HA! That's the pot calling the kettle black. "Dense"? Really? What are you 13 (maybe you are)? Nice name calling, so articulate, so mature - NOT! Your ignorance is painful.

This thread seems to have been doing nothing but going in circles for quite some time. I don't think there is any benefit to continuing to rehash the same arguments and I'm going to lock this thread.
