[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can pat themselves on the back for the petition.  But consider a response from a Wooten student:

[i]I keep thinking about this comment. If I were not to post it, I would be holding these agitating feelings in, in addition to my immense sadness from the accident. So here it goes. This dream world that you write about is quite shallow. You are writing about one of your students parents, so how could you publicize such hatred towards the family of one of your many children because you claim your students are your children. Family does not make things worse for their own family, but they do support them no matter the mistake. Mistake may be a too easily dismissible word, but there is no other word to describe the situation. As a friend to the kids who died and a person on the inside, I know where I am coming from. You are not making this healing process any better with these messages, not only is it too soon, but Wootton students stand together, so most would not agree with your harshness towards a peer's parent even though their parent may agree with you. Therefore, you are creating more division between youth and guardians, the exact opposite of what is needed. [b]A parent allowed or didn't allow alcohol in their house, either way alcohol was present. But with the history of the people at this high school binge drinking, if a house were not accessible with parents present, then a house would be found where the parents may be out of town, and I know this because, once again, I am on the inside. [/b]It is not about who did this because blaming people does not change anything, but it is about voicing the right message. The message to keep your own kids on track so they don't make bad decisions because natural selection is unfortunately how our world works. This may be harsh, but it is the truth.[/i]

Teens will find and drink alcohol. [/quote]
