Is What's Wrong with Kids today, their Parents?

I don't think I'm as interested in volunteering at a public school anymore. I've been checking this story for updates, and I have yet to hear of any parent insisting their child come forward and show remorse for this. It's fucking pitiful.

Instead, she's getting sympathy in the form of monetary donations to go take "a nice vacation".

Children are utterly despicable, that's why boarding school was invented.

If my brother or I had done something like that my parents would have never forgiven us and we would have been help responsible and made to pay for our actions.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Ditto, and it is indeed parental irresponsibility and the unwillingness to teach empathy, respect, and the consequences of actions.

It would have been another reason for the sperm donor to kick my ass, something I tried to avoid.

Yup, a stern whipping would have solved that problem right at the beginning.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Based on a sample of 5 yes. I have parented 5. There may be something wrong with the dad of one, same as the kid. So sometimes it is genes, 1 out of 5.

I don't think this is anything new, there were some right feral little cunts at my school. We had two or three teachers have breakdowns, a couple knock the living fuck out of children. I even recall a couple of "parents" who beat up a teacher for having the gall to report and consequently have expelled two boys who tried to sexually assault a female classmate, in class, by holding her, pulling down her pants and trying to insert a ruler into her vagina. The girl was then hounded out the school by the vicious rumour mill.

There was a lot more than that, but I tend to blot out the entirety of my school years since they were so fucking horrible.

Luckily a lot of those fucking rats didn't even make it to adulthood and many of them are in jail.

There were a few teachers we enjoyed abusing at that age. They were the ones who showed weakness. She is obviously in the wrong job if she can't control a few noisy teenagers

I agree, there is some brutal social Darwinism in those Kid prisons. They are not for the faint of heart. Tolerating torrents of abuse from little cunts should be an expectation of any job involving teenagers.

It shouldn't have to be like that, but it is.

The yahoo coverage on the story pointed out that one of the fathers of the bullies did apologize. He said that he was broken-hearted that his son could have done something so hateful.

As for the "nice vacation"-- that was actually started by a filmmaker in Toronto, who started the FB campaign. They've raised a LOT of money for Grannie. I think Grannie should just take it and retire.
