bullying committe meeting

Our school is developing a bullying policy. I have been invited as have all parents in the community to participate in this process. I applaud the school for hosting these meetings, and doing so at times that are convenient to most parents. That said, it would be nice if more parents would be involved in the process.  It is going to take the whole community to make this change in our student’s lives. If they don’t see their parents buying into the policy and curriculum, then they won’t buy into it either. The bullying policy needs to hold all participants accountable.  Students, Faculty, Support Staff and Administration. If all participants are not held to the same standard, then we will quickly lose the buy in of the people all are here to educate. Hopefully more people from the community will take it upon themselves to get involved in this process.

So very frustrated.  David managed to convince the hospital staff that he was an angel and didn’t get his medicine because mom and dad didn’t

quiet riot and mr cavelier

Seems odd to be in the city with my bride and not having any children with. I miss them but am also enjoying the time away. Visiting second hand stores, I am amazed at how the prices are on used stuff! One would think that they would generate just as much income of the moved the stuff cheaper and turned their merchandise over faster. Oh well, not my business model. Mom and I are talking about the tough love approach to getting chores done at home. Seems that the kids are having a hard time with emptying and fully loading the dishwasher. Shoot, I remember washing dishes by hand. More later. 😉 Tweet #fighting4answrs
