Re: Oh for goodness sake...

I couldn't stand the school lunches. I pretty much just ate the roll and drank the milk. we did not have things like hamburgers and hot dogs, much less things like soda or ice cream. I usually went hungry a lot! In elementary school, I took my lunch cause it was cheaper to take a sandwich! But of course, that was frowned on in junior high! You could not be ccol and carry a sandwich in a bag!

It was more dangerous for my son to walk the halls in middle school. He was small and got beat on by bigger kids (from nice families, too--not the stereotypes) just walking the halls. He got hit(often between the shoulder blades--I guess to see if he could remain on his feet?), pushed, stepped on at his locker, and probably a lot he kept to himself. I was more worried about him IN the school, than out of it.

JanH, those are exactly some of the reasons I homeschooled my kids. Egads! Children should not have to endure the gauntlet to get themselves educated.

Since my DIL is an educator, I appreciate what she does a lot. But it is a tough job these days in a lot of schools. I hope she always has a school district that appreciates taking care of both educators and kids. With my daughter, it was more verbal abuse. It made her cry and not want to go to school. I don't understand what is happening to the schools. Take out physical education and the energy goes elsewhere. And it appears that respect for teachers and one another is out the window. A schoolteacher friend who retired said the parents were worse than the kids and she got tired of dealing with them. My DIL works for a rural district that seems to have a great attitude with family and community.

I only wished I had known what to do to help him in this situation. Now it is really scary with guns and knives.
