I know. It been a While
I'm sorry that I have neglected you. Worse still, I have neglected the blogs I read. I have a VERY old computer, and it seizes every time I sign on to it. So I try to use the newer computer, and to do that, I have to fight for a spot with my kids. SERIOUSLY. My son, who is 9, accidentally downloaded porn onto my computer. I thought it was the 15 year old, but it really was the 9 year old. Apologies to the oldest. I just assumed.....
I've been doing a lot of that, not really standing up for that which bothers me, just figuring that other are. I have apparently been dropped by another blog regarding a reading club. I am such a slacker that I am a bother to this other blog. I can take it. I don't really have a lot to say, otherwise it wouldn't be 6 months since you last heard anything from me.
But I do want to talk about something. My kids are in "Sucks to be you, wish you could be me!" school district. We are like, the hottest ticket in town. We can't be annexed, added, incorporated, so we are actually part of OVER ACHIEVER SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Don't get me wrong. I am glad me kids go to school where they do. They are better educated than I am. And I graduated 11th in my class. They know more by the forth grade than I did by the time I was a sophomore.
But this is what happened. A kid that no one really likes at OVER ACHIEVER HIGH got into it with super rich Regency kid, over a girlfriend. Slacker won the girl. OVER ACHIEVER, in his rage and disappointment, punched Slacker Kid. Punched him hard enough that Slacker kid lost consciousness.
This is where it gets interesting.
Slacker kid was knocked out, with a broken nose, and bleeding. All the kids, and there weren't that many that were standing around, just looked at him. None of these kids liked him. Slacker was a pain in the ass. So, because no one like him, no one did anything to help him. No one called for help, no one went to his side, nothing. That boy laid there on the front steps, bleeding, and NO ONE came to help.
A passing teacher saw him lying on the ground, yelled at the other students, "WTF.....??????, an ambulance was called, the slacker was whisked away. By the time I got there to pick up my son, there was no sign at all that anything had happened.
My son told me however, and I was appalled. "How come an assembly was not called the very next day?" "How come each and every student, regardless of whether or not they were there, was not bitched out for not helping this kid?"
What are we teaching our children? I don't care who he is, he warranted at the very least, and call, visit, whatever to the principal and if he wasn't available, at least a call to the police.
What are we raising our children to be?
