[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What bothers me is the school's assumption that these are throw away kids.  If the coach and principal got out and energetically patrolled the street corner for a bit, callling the kids on this nonsense, [b]with the help of the parents, [/b]cops and Mary Cheh, most would fall into line.  Most kids want adults to have expectations for them.   Those that didn't would quickly get the message to find another venue for the vulgar environment they seek to create.[/quote]

Yeah, good luck with that.  [b]If the parents were involved at all, or even just gave a crap, the kids wouldn't be behaving like this in the first plac[/b]e. .  [/quote]

I disgree. The high school I attended was and still is one of the top 10 in the nation -- you couldn't find more concerned parents anywhere, including my own, and I cursed like a sailor throughout my high school days. I didn't do it in front of adults who would call me on it -- my parents nor any of the teachers I had would have brooked any of that kind of behavior, but at the bus stop/outside school? When I recall the language I used, my ears would be burning today, and I would be the one telling me to have some respect for myself :).

Some of the kids may have parents who curse on a regular basis, but many may not -- sometimes kids know better, and it's just rebellion...[/quote]
