[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does seem silly as hearsay but at the same time, some of the students in the news in recent years were having issues as early as kindergarten. [b]Let’s get these kids help sooner[/b]![/quote]

How does that email "help" the kids?
-Not a Taylor parent[/quote]

The email doesn't, but taking violent behavior seriously does. Perhaps if that had happened at Ashlawn instead of a "light touch", the kid wouldn't be bringing tasers to school and making threats in MS. Perhaps.[/quote]

Or things could have been worse. I don't know. Do we think discipline is the way to get the violence and bad behavior at of kids? Maybe for some. For others it does nothing. Just like jail may cure a handful of violent offenders but the rest will keep being violent their entire lives. But I don't think most folks are really interesting in helping the violent kid but rather just making sure their kid is protected. I don't think its wrong to focus on the latter, just its heartbreaking to me to know these kids aren't getting real help. [/quote]

Discipline is not the only intervention- we have many wonderful social workers, counselors and psychologists in APS.[/quote]
