Then vs. Now: Sad but True

[Lissa]

To be completely honest, since I've only recently been though public education, none of these are true. Perhaps there have been a few extreme cases that get plastered all over the media, but that's not how it is.

1 - Yes, the student would be in serious trouble for bringing a gun to school, but then again he was the stupid one to drive to school with a gun in a gun rack. You can complain all you want, but as parents would you honestly want a gun on the premises of you child's school?
2 - Police are only called to fist fights when it's on a massive scale. One fight will be broken up by security or teachers and the individuals involved will spend time in in school suspension. Would you rather them get a light tap on the back of the hand and let them go, or taught that violence isn't the answer? Cause appearantly their parents didn't.
3 - Simply put: not true.
4 - When was the last time that the CPS was willing to get off their butts and help people? Even the one's who seriously need their help?
5 - I've had Advil at school before, they don't have a problem with it. And if it's that big of a problem, leave some Advil or whatever with the school nurse. They don't expel kids of over the counter meds.
6 - Pregnant girl stays in school. If parents would raise their kids right maybe they'd learn to keep their legs shut in the first place.
7 - Pedro must pass English to graduate. It's still a requirement.
8 - I guess all the people that get caught shooting off fireworks get punished the same way.
