[quote=Anonymous]I recently watched a large group of Eastern HS kids (in full uniform, button-down shirt with logo, tan pants -- not something a group of 12 or so kids would buy and wear down the street) come down Barracks Row just as loud and crude as can be. OK, whatever, teenagers, but fighting, pushing, screaming swear words, really rude.

Then on the way back up Barracks Row 10 min later or so, 1 of them grabbed a cell phone from a man who was standing with 2 other friends looking at a map on the phone. The Eastern kids were yelling the kids' name and cheering him on. The kid bolted across 8th St and down the alley toward 9th. He apparently picked the wrong 20-something-year-old because the guy took off after him and arrived back with his phone. I butted my head in and scolded the Eastern kids for representing our neighborhood school so badly. They got all in my face and yelled and claimed it wasn't an Eastern kid (who was walking with a group of Eastern kids and wearing the Eastern uniform).

These kids have no respect for authority or just plain adults, have a beautiful school and require multiple police officers in front of the school after school to keep them in control. It makes navigating his neighborhood difficult for my own high schoolers as they are known to jump other teenagers.

It's outrageous and makes me angry. I am quite sure there are some wonderful kids there and that it's a portion who are criminals or hang out with criminals. However, those kids going around in Eastern uniforms tormenting the minimum wage workers at local stores and passersby on the street are committing crimes, not pranks.[/quote]
