Comments on: Spartanburg County Alternative School Student Assaults Teacher During “Temper Tantrum” http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/spartanburg-county-alternative-school-student-assaults-teacher-during-temper-tantrum/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:37:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Rob Taylor http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/spartanburg-county-alternative-school-student-assaults-teacher-during-temper-tantrum/comment-page-1/#comment-5071 Rob Taylor Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:53:47 +0000 http://www.greenvilledragnet.com/?p=1142#comment-5071 Having worked with troubled teens myself I do know that violence cannot be tolerated and minimizing their violence sets them up for a life time of criminality in the future. This kid needs firm and loving guidance, and what you're giving is excuses for anti-social behavior. The next person he roughs up is not going to take his gold star away - he's going to shoot him, or stab him or if the gods are kind have him arrested and thrown in jail. Nice work Heather. You've taught this person that there's no consequences for outrageous behavior in a world where the consequences for this type of outburst can be fatal. If a 17-year-old assaults me while I'm about my business after yelling racial slurs at me he'll be lucky to alive when the police arrive. If he did it to a woman while I was there he wouldn't be alive when the police came. That's reality Heather - you're in SC where the CC permits flow like water. Think about it hippy.

It is the most structured environment possible for an educational setting. Poor journalism. Also, I believe you misread the mission statement genious. It doesn't say that they are preparing them to stay at home, but to return to their "home school", meaning the school assigned to students based on residence. The students have been removed from their assigned school due to poor behavior. The other option is expulsion. Do you believe that would be a better way to turn these troubled teens into productive citizens? I think not. Have u ever visited the school that you’re blasting?
