so gang raping a 13 year old is ok and poses no danger to the safety of the students but voluntarily smoking marijuana is so dangerous they must kick the kid out of school forever ? ummmmmmm ok is bill clinton on the board of trustees at this "school"

you can contact the school through email at

office@jameshargest.school.nz

or you can call them directly at

64-3-217-6129 its a new zealand number so you ll have to dial 011 first and they are on a 14 hour time difference from us I think

wonder why the mother didn't go to the police chief, or the country prosecutor's office. the police reliled upon the school to handle it (which is wrong) and the school relied upon the police.

this is the problem with expecting a school to handle something like this. they go into "smooth it out" mode rather than proper discipline. boys should have been arrested and referred to juvenile authorities at the very minumum.

This is why families with daughters should produce several sons. Each son should be taught how to fight and defend their family's honor. The next time a girl gets assaulted, her brothers will know what to do.

"Mr Frost said the board considered Scott had set a "harmful example" by introducing other students to a drug they had not experienced before.

But not harmful to introduce a young girl to gang rape. Insane.

The distinction between these miscreants is simple.

The pot-head sets a bad example by defiantly smoking a proscribed plant, whereas the high-spirited rascals who teased the girl will be ideal future JBTs, and probably not dopers at all.

From the "Pastoral" link on their website:

James Hargest High School is a student-focused school. The staff are enthusiastic and positive and work hard to develope strategies which provide students with a safe physical and emotional environment.

Our goal is zero tolerance for any behavior which makes students feel uncomfortable.

In a nutshell, the Board has undermined their staff and proven themselves to be liars.

"Form" refers to academic level in a British school. Kind of like what grade a kid is in. It's not a 1 to 1 (3rd form doesn't equal 3rd grade).

I watch the movies, that way I preserve the current illiterate status quo.

So, then, what is a "form" girl?

'third form' is an educational level, equivalent to eighth grade, I think.

The perpetrators in both cases should have been turned over to the police.

"The perpetrators in both cases should have been turned over to the police."

Correction, they should have been turned over to some police with cojones.
