Craziness Continues

Well, yesterday there was another impromptu meeting. This one quickly dissolved into a yelling and screaming match. The vice principal got up and got his coat and left while the gym teacher, who is apparently the teachers' union representative, was talking. The lilliputian principal was screaming at the teachers. It was horrible.

Afterwards I talked to Ms. Kim the computer teacher. She is incredibly scared of being here now. The boy who grabbed the math teacher by the throat has apparently threatened other teachers. It's a very sad situation.

Today I talked to my co-teacher Ms. Park about it. She said this argument has brought up a lot of other grievences with the school. Apparently the boy is going to receive come community service. The principal and vice principal argue that by expelling the boy that he will certainly become a criminal. I know the kid. He probably already is. Ms. Park also said that by giving the boy community service and keeping him in the school that the rights of the teachers have lessened. It's a very slippery slope.

Not such a great time to be here at Juksan High School.

that's too bad...he should get his ass kicked out of there...what's this "community service" that he is probably just going to blow off?
