Thread: Young People Posting from School

If all kids were like Garet,Derek,Emerson,Michael and Ben there would be very few youth problems in this country. Keep it up young men,don't let these know it alls stand in your way,y'all are our future.....

This "know it all" taught for 5 years and I can assure you that posting on an internet forum during the school day is not a part of the curriculum. As a parent and tax payer, I'd be PO'd. As a teacher, I'd be ashamed.
Thinking these guys shouldn't be on the internet during school hours (unless doing assigned work) has nothing to do with what kind of kids I might think they are or are not. It's a criticism of the school program and the teachers that allow them to do it, not of the kids themselves.
Times have changed with schools and not necessarily for the better.

To add one thing - this has nothing to do with the last week of school. This is a discussion that goes back a couple of months at least.

Take it easy on him. Who is to say that instead of talking to his gf on his break, he made it to a computer to put his two cents in on a subject that he is interested in. There is nothing wrong with that. I dont know what high school age kids do down there in their spare time near the beach, but up north, if you didnt hunt and or fish, you were more likely to be doing less desirable activities.

you obviously have to much free time on your hands to be worried about a couple kids that are on a fishing forum during school hours.......especially since you dont know one of them personally..

Let's hear it for Carl F and Kingkiller. It has been fifty years since I was in high school, and that's the way it was back then, too. ---And there were paddlings at school then, and if you got an award you earned it, but we still didn't do squat the last few days of school and the teachers back then would probably have loved for us to have computers to keep us busy/entertained and out of their hair.

I also think that there is a h#ll of a lot of room for improvement in our public school system and that the bureaucracy and our legal system have made it horribly difficult for teachers to do as good a job as they are capable. Sometimes I think it's amazing that kids come out as well as they do, and that is testimony to good character and good parenting.

Somebody else can stand on the soapbox now.

When I was in school it was a normal sight to see shotguns or rifles in the racks on all or trucks depending on what was in season. You would have thought camoflauge was the school uniform at times. I used to turkey hunt about three mornings out of the week with one of my coaches. He would always write me a pass to get in class. HaHa! My how times and people change.

The coaches kept us busy the last few days of school back in my day...cutting grass...cleaning up...packing up...but it sure beat sitting in class doing nothing...Dive Deep brought back some old memories.. paddling at school was like a walk in the park compared to what was waiting at home....and they always knew before I got off the school bus....

I wish I was a senior in high school again....and know what I know now.....
