[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Something is wrong at Damascus. [/b]This is the second incident of a special needs student being photographed in the bathroom. Why does this keep happening? And ABC7 reports that one of the individuals charged in Juvenile Court is on the JV football team?

And again, nothing from Smith. He needs to be fired too.  Sick and tired of kids being abused at Damascus HS. [/quote]

[b]This is the[u] second incident [/u]of a special needs student being photographed in the bathroom.[/b]

Adding emphasis to this.  Culture needs to change now.[/quote]

This is getting worse every day, so it seems.  There is a culture issue here.  What is the best way to change the culture of the entire school, and all the students?[/quote]

Uh, teach your children that these things are unacceptable, unethical and immoral? This isn't something that should only be taught at school--if it's not taught at home and reinforced at home then things like these happen. Parenting fails. [/quote]

[b]Nah, it’s easier to just blame the school even though a moral compass should have been instilled at home from a much earlier age! Don’t you know that it’s up to schools to raise children now, not parents[/b]?[/quote]

This 100% How is it possible that a kid who was raised by parents who taught him good values from a young age would think that raping another kid with a broomstick is okay? There's a reason why some kids grow up to be respectful and successful people and others turn out to be assholes. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Stop blaming the schools for everything!

agree

Those kids weren't innocent in the least, but I also believe they may have been stripped of their innocence as well.  Who knows what they saw or to what they were exposed?   I talked to my 14 yo daughter about this, and she was appalled. The thought of going after another kid that was was horrifying to her.  None of that would have EVER crossed her mind.

poor parenting - neglect perhaps, or worse
 
You don't know exactly what.  But this behavior is CREATED in a person.  It just doesn't suddenly manifest from out of nowhere. It's disturbing for everyone involved. And I wonder how many teachers will try to leave.[/quote]
