I live in columbus and am really beginning to wonder if this story is growing legs it shouldn't be. There is no doubt that there are problems at the Columbus Schools, but IMHO the biggest problem is not the school, but the families or what can be loosely termed as families that send these rascals to school everyday.

My wife and I have been discussing why so many children are simply out of control these days. We've concluded that it's parents who coddle and defend their children and don't make the child accept accountability for it's actions.

Don't know how many times I've heard "they need to re-institute corporal punishment in the schools, but don't let them touch my kid". Or 'I'm not going to let someone tell me my kid is poorly behaved, is having trouble learning or whatever.

That doesn't mean I'm letting the schools off scot free. But the biggest problem is what is sent to be educated, not the educator.

I'd agree with you to some extent, except for the fact that not only did these school administrators conveniently "forget" to tell the girl's father what happened, they tried to talk him out of calling the police to report it. And even now that the story's gotten out, the only thing they think to do is point fingers and try to cover their tails. Oh, and of course, blame the victim.

Now you are getting close to the real issue, 80% of Black children are born Out of Wedlock. OOWs are a social disaster everywhere they are encountered and had destroyed the public school systems of the major cities. It is particularly bad when Momma is a total lunatic as well. And "Daddy" he in jail.
