Social Goodness:










Common sense absent at school
A shame schools seem to have lost the basics of common sense somewhere along the way.
As a kid, yeah, I wrote on my desk. Didn’t we all?
The punishment wasn’t getting arrested and being terrified out of my mind (and potentially hating school, the teachers, the law and anyone else I could blame). The punishment was cleaning off all those desks. Did it suck? Sure, but it was fair and tied logically to writing on the desks. I didn’t like it but I sure as hell couldn’t say, even then, that I didn’t see it coming, and I never ended up hating anybody for it.
I wonder what lesson this little kid is coming away with?
