Bullies in the classroom 2. Threats of violence in the schools and outside 3. Harsh penalties for these incidents Selection of principals in our schools should not only be academic ability but also leadership and the ability to be stern. I believe that the schools should have their own uniformed security forces with as many members as it takes to change the attitudes of our students, no matter what it costs. Education is an investment, a very strong investment and board members, teachers and principals who do not address these types of problems are denying the students who want to learn and grow in an environment free from disturbances that opportunity.
Teaching means discipline, first and foremost, without any disruption.
Those who are in charge of a classroom or building position should take the bull by the horns or get out of our educational programs. As long as the public infatuation with these huge gas-guzzlers continues, the automakers will find ways to provide them. I did work for the industry and the Teamsters union. I worked for 38 years and never had one accident. I saw people driving that should never have been issued a license.
