Happened Before says
Yeah just last November one of the school principals had a DUI and killed someone.. what’s going on with these mothers… and this area.
Alexis says
A lot of teachers are alcoholic/drug addicts that just haven’t killed anyone yet.
East Lancaster says
A lot of political people have drug and alcohol addictions and all they do is destroy people’s lives with false accusations, ruin rural communities with asinine solar farms that make them money, and squander tax dollars on frivolous and useless wastes like LEAPS.
Alexis says
11.2% voter turnout is pitiful. Maybe it’s the voters that are so wasted they can’t bother to vote politicians out. The people get the politicians they deserve. 4th term and you still just sit back and complain, while doing nothing.
Respect the Teachers says
Teachers have to deal with kids that are being raised by parents that don’t care about their future. They are often neglected and left in school all day to be taken care of by other people. Kids are not taught any manners discipline or respect. I don’t blame the teachers at all.
Teacher reports says
You are correct it’s not the teachers fault that many parents suck at raising their kids. Parents, teachers, administrators, we all need need to take responsibility and call it, when we see someone doing wrong let’s report it!! Report it again and again until someone listens. A lot of these school employees and other adults aren’t reporting wrongdoing. And here are the consequences. The loss of innocent lives.
Mike says
Rex makes another dollar off innocent lives lost. It’s not going to stop the question is who is next?
