But as I keep pointing out. Everyone demands government do something about something at least three or more times a week. maybe even a day. Hell, an hour? A bunch of well meaning, albeit, deluded, panzy opinioned fools, demanded our children cease being childeren and be programmed little automatons that have everything measured and scheduled. Quality time is a bullshit phrase invented to make guilty parents feel better. Politically correct sissies have taken over our education system. Government needs to do something about this.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-41938103912960269162009-10-13T11:05:16.937-04:002009-10-13T11:05:16.937-04:00Over the years I have had several run ins over the...Over the years I have had several run ins over the stupidity of educators.<br />While I understand the desire to keep actual weapons out of our schools, I am at a loss for why educated people seem to have no common sense!<br />When contraband is found and there has been no attempt to use it, why not just keep it in the office and make the parent come get it?<br />Why does every school, large and small, need a "resource officer"? I'm sure there are schools that need some sort of enhanced authority and they should get it because, above all else, students and teachers should be safe.<br />But we are creating a generation of criminals with these knee jerk over reactions to just about everything.<br />They are kids for crying out loud!<br />And since when does a seminar on mental health qualify a teacher to determine that a child has ADD or the new syndrome du jour, autism? And why can the school then demand the child be put on medication without being first properly diagnosed?<br />This actually happened to a friend of mine who asked me to come to a school meeting with her. I did and demanded they pay for a qualified child pyschiatrist to make a diagnosis. I debated, I threatened and in the end, the kid got his sessions with a good practitioner. He needed therapy and medication due to extreme abuse he suffered as a small child - but not the Ritalin the school was demanding. If he had been put on meds by a GP it would have destroyed his intellect.<br />This kid is doing well and is in college now.<br />So, you go get 'em, Patrick. Give them a 12 year headache and hold their feet to the fire. Our kids are well worth the effort and anyone who doesn't put out that effort should not have had children.rockynchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772988855661101621noreply@blogger.com
