Student Could Face Suspension As A Result Of Altercation At PGSS

Friday, September 05, 2008 04:10 PM

Prince George, B.C. - Brian Pepper, Superintendent of School District 57 says a student who broke windows at Prince George Secondary School and then grabbed a younger student before being brought under control, could face up to five days suspension from the school and perhaps more if the Student Conduct review Committee deems so.

The incident occurred yesterday after the young student first broke windows and then grabbed another younger student. Police were called but the teachers and administration were able to take control of the situation.

No one was injured in the incident and the affected students were sent home with a report on the matter for their parents.

Pepper said that the staff was able to ensure that the rest of the students at the facility were not subjected to any of the problems that occurred.

Why is this news? Stuff like this has been happening forever, but now we report on it and make it look like kids are going to Hell in a handbasket.

5 Days? Maybe the kid can take his issues home and hopefully sort them out. You don't take yer kid to the woodshed anymore. It is now called an attitude adjustment centre.

5 days on the couch with his gameboy and a box of pizza pops - that'll teach him :-)

Seems like the kid should be sent to do community work to pay for that window he broke.

Bring back the strap,

Is this a slow news day or something?

What's next? Kid caught littering? Apple pies for sale at farmer's market? This kind of thing goes on all the time in high schools, why is this time newsworthy?

It used to be that you got the strap in school for something like this and got it again when you got home....Today he will get five days off of loafing around the house and Mom and Dad will be at the school blaming someone else for their sons' actions....I hope the Student conduct review committee gives this one some thought. Deal with this now and let it serve as an example....

Must have been the Retalin pills, first day back at school and all. Should have got the kid on the pills a couple days earlier. Poor boy, heehee! Take a pill Phil.

What fancy name can we come up with for these actions....
BOOK RAGE????

how about just plain stupidity...

Perhaps they need to get to the source of this problem. Like maybe they need to send him to anger management and give him some serious consequences to go w/ the course...not just 5 days of suspension.

The kid's parents obviously cannot control him. Charge him with mischief to property and assault upon the younger youth and let him realise there are consequences to his actions.

All the trouble we have these days is a direct result of the bleeding hearts in our society that cried about putting our kids over our knees when they were acting like little S***S.
Stop your whinning because you are the ones to blame.
Take them out behind the woodshed and kick their a** bigtime.

I don't think the little pukes parents were at school when he decided to go on his rampage.
So what is it exactly that gives you the right to say they cannot control him?

The biggest reason these pukes cause all this trouble is again due to our bleeding heart society that won't stand for a parent beating their kids a**.
Kids know there is no consequences for their actions due to the bleeding hearts that surround us.

I love how people think the answer to violence is corporal punishment of kids.

I would love to see proof that beatings or physical pain make anyone grow up to be law abiding better citizens. Go look in a Russian prison. Are the people who go through it all rehabilitated when they come out, or are they angry at being brutalized for the time they spent in the clink and come out more vicious criminals?

Besides that, who knows what kind of home this kid came from. He might be getting the ever loving crap beaten out of him every night, and you would never know, because you're too busy saying he should be beaten by his parents for his actions.

I certainly don't want to live in the Oliver Twist fantasy reality all you would be child beaters want to live in.

Bleeding heart---------^

Well lostfaith, this "little puke's" actions and a lot of similar little puke's actions stem from parents not being able to instill proper values into the kid's head. Touch a raw nerve did I?

Posted by: interceptor on September 6 2008 10:42 PM

Someone who doesnt understand that learning "actions and consequences" is not "child beating" -------^

btw - I love people that compare a spank on the bum to a Russion prison...

Posted by: Nejeb ma on September 6 2008 10:50 PM

Someone who can't read-----^

Hardly a "spank on the bum."

What's that noise? It sounds an awful lot like backpedaling.

Send this kid to the army...along with all the other brats who are in trouble with the law right now...and we will find our society cleaning up very quickly. Teach them some discipline and manners, something their parents have obviously not been able to do.

Posted by: The_grandinquisitor on September 7 2008 2:10 PM

The armed forces won't take em...they have standards too you know.

Posted by: Thunder on September 8 2008 12:25 PM

Perhpas this kid already lives in a violent home, in which case a good old fashioned beating will be of no help. People think a good beating will fix it all - when in fact it is quite possible that a few too many good beatings is the actual root of the problem.
