Morning classes. Several attempts at resistance from the more reticent students. "Why don't you give up?" - "We're not doing anything for you anyway." - "sds. Pah!" Some students in that particular class (the one with the bad math grades) have meanwhile taken to explicit language and recycling 3rd Reich vocabulary.

Such challenges and so many F's. They will either come around or um fail. I know that not what you want but snowballs happen. Hugs.

That'll probably be the end of it.

Man. It's gotten so bad in the states that such "hijinx" would result in the Veep being fired, and all the students involved getting expelled or suspended (and you being a Media Darling as the poor, unsuspecting victim).

Hoo, they'd hate that kind of media attention in the board of directors at that school. But I think the media aren't even interested in this type of school anyway.

Apparently the teacher has been on leave and the parents are believe alcoholism to be the reason while to school board says it was a burn out.

I don't much care which version is true, but I have a feeling that the schools' customers have developed a knack for undermining the educational system by thinking their own failings are the result of poor service rather than their lack of effort in selfimprovement.
