Most of these "threats" are from what happened at VT. I believe they are doing it solely because they do not want to go to class, and the kids who are doing these "threats" know it cannot be ignored. It is just dumbass little kids who want to mentally **** with people.

One of the reasons I got so steamed about my son Not going to school is because he isn't making very good grades. He always did before he went into the tween years. He'll be 15 this year and he is failing almost everything. I am personally embarassed because of this. We do discipline him. all I have to do is get that look in my eye and ****** him up in 1 quick movement and he knows he is close to an *** whoopin.

But problem is now he is 15 and he aint no little boy no more. I could bust his *** with no problem but I risk hurting myself or hurting him in the process. It won't come to that.. So we got him into "therapy sessions" with a behavior doctor. That fool told us too leave him alone. If punishment aint working just get off his back.

Now this doctor wants to see me on his next appt. I sure hope he don't **** me off too bad.

All my sons teachers say he is the greatest kid, but he doesn't do his schoolwork. Doesn't turn in his projects,even when we make sure he does them. He forgets to turn them, he says. Gadam I work all day and my wife works all day. We can't babysit him with his assignments.

Anyway any time he aint in school hurts his chances of passing the 9th grade. He's a good kid and my only child, but I am getting disappointed at his lack of effort to do better..

I too grew up to the tone of a hickory switch. And believe me if I f--cked up (which I did many times) I knew I had at least 2 *** whoopins coming from both mom and dad. Even at 13 or 14 yrs old.. By the time I was 16 I had my mind straight..

I just think it's funny that the guy who made the GOD remark has yet to post back in here. Anyways, I have noticed lately how kids don't do many outdoor activities anymore. When I was younger I would play football with friends almost everyday. My parents didn't worry about me gettin hurt or whatever. It's good for kids. Some parents today think their kids are going to get hurt playing a little contact sport or whatever so they just let them stay inside and play video games and watch t.v. Whatever happened to kids playing hide and go seek and all those other games the neighborhood kids played?

That kind of sounds like me...but I'm 17..and I do the projects..and I'm not failing....my GPA is averaging at about 2.5 (3.08 weighted) and i'm being threatened to be kicked out of the I.B. program I'm in if I don't bring it up to a 2.75.....I don't know why I can't get good grades....i listen in class (most of the time) and I don't mouth off, have had good class conduct all my life and never gotten a referal or something like that. All of my standardized test scores are great, too....but being in IB taking college level courses...pretty much lands me in the bottom 50% of my class (IB and GP (general population..we call normal highschoolers that,lol) ), kinda unfair since a 2.5 in IB is like a 4.5 in the standard curriculum, but colleges won't care, they just like high numbers.

For example, on our last 9 weeks report card, I had a GPA of 1.71, No F's, but 4 D's..sitting in homeroom and hearing that the dumbasses in there have 3.00's, people that probably have IQ's less than 100, and would only succeed in life if they were able to become a prof basketball player, kind of gets on my nerves. They are taking classes that would be equivalent to that of a junior high school education.., but since their GPA is higher, even though my classes are way more demanding than theres, they will be the ones the colleges look at.

Before HS I consistently made a 3.85, my work ethic and time management actually improved in highschool..........not sure what went wrong there...now I just don't care as much since I'm setting my sights on the Army..but I am not going to give up school, though.

My parents also consider me a slight embarressment, I use to be their great A average son who they could brag about to all of their friends, now all they do is talk about how wonderful my bro (graduated top of his class in IB program and in engineering school atm) is and just kind of evade any discussion of my academic performance...but I'm not too mad about it, a lot of the kids in my class, who make the A's, are all pot heads that go out and get stoned every friday and get drunk on weekends.. I'm not sure how they do so good in school, most of them are complete ****tards in class, and I wouldn't want to be one of them.

A young kid 6-7 years old, a grand-mother and the childs mom walk into a video store. The entire time the child is whining for a piece of candy, and the mother tells her child "no, you can't have that piece of candy." What happens next? On the way out the door the kid steals the candy. After a minute or two the mother comes back in and says, "Im so sorry, my child just stole this candy and Im returning it to you.. Sounds all fine and peachy right? Well, a few seconds later, the grand-mother walks right back in and buys the candy and gives it to the kid..

So, can you tell me what this teaches the child? Throw a fit, if you don't get what you want, steal it.. The above is a true story, it happened while my fiance' was working @ the local video rental store.

How does that translate into all of this?

Kid in school - "I don't have any friends, and I hate all of these people, so I think I'll just kill them and get my way, they'll see, now they will understand how I feel!"

Now, why do parents not discipline? It could be that they weren't disciplined as children, or the extreme other side and were disciplined too severely..

My theory? Stupid democrats and liberal's prossecuting parents for giving their children a good old fashioned *** whipping. Ill be damned if the government will ever tell me how to raise or discipline my children.

If my kid stole a piece of candy from the store, he would have to walk straight back into the store, apologyze and he would KNOW what was waiting for him when he got home.. A nice paddle just waiting to beat his *** red.

That's my $.02

My 15 year old son told me tonight he doesn't have school on Friday. I look at the calender, school is in session as usual. I said BS you got school. Nope he told me. Why I asked? Because some nut has threatened to shoot up the school on Friday.. I know we all have been thru the old bomb threats that used to be popular with certain ner do wells and such but, Gadam you can't be sure if some misguided student is really gonna do it.. Well my wife is letting him stay home. I can't say I don't disagree with it..

We got an official call from the principle of his HS that said they have investigated it and they have done all they can to insure their safety.. Please come to school.

Well I can't guarantee my son will be safe so he stays home.. No doubt it's a copycat thing but my son and everyone else his age all over America are gonna suffer cause of this. Of course it's not gonna happen, BUT it might..

WTF is gonna take to rid us from the senseless assualts on our childrens education.. They are the next generation of our country's leaders..

God help our kids when they grow up without a basic HS education..

We need a RANT section on these forums too. (while I'm Ranting) DAMMIT..

I can do you one better, some guy got expelled from school for making a map of his highschool on CS

heres the story and video for proof.
