Hopefully those problems don't surface, but this is the perpetual issue: We create more problems by just trying to "help" and not thinking everything through. ...the problem is, we can't possibly think everything through, so how do we help people?<br /><br />Ah, the dilemma of social ills.<br /><br /> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-6733745398170193832009-06-07T14:36:32.047-05:002009-06-07T14:36:32.047-05:00I would like to think that the school meant well, ...I would like to think that the school meant well, but having such "problems" filed through e-communication? That's not on! It can certainly backfire! These matters should not be handled by e-mail or any other kind of mail. We have had letters of a horse unit concerning the well being of our horses after appararently being tipped off by ??? Such letters caused anger and FRUSTRATION galore! The matter was only resolved when the horse unit people and we sat around the table, discussed the issues and cleared misunderstanding e.g. that the horses had had no water because they had just moved to a new pasture and it was only 8:00 and the grooms were still busy getting everything ready!!!Miekiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486436215358243054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-7809963161033393332009-06-07T09:36:08.001-05:002009-06-07T09:36:08.001-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking thi...I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this letter is a bit odd!!<br /><br />I wish I *could* reconsider that public school, Betty! <br /><br />Patrick is a sophomore entering the high school (they divide the buildings/ages strangely here) and he wants to continue.

The problem, of course, is that a kid being abused might be "inattentive" (or not), not unlike non-abused students. With school shootings, for example, there tends to be a pattern of social isolation and defiance in the shooter, and in the instances where a shooting was averted, it was because a fellow student spoke up about, say, Johnny's strong preoccupation with social cliques and firearms. I assume the school didn't want to alarm anyone by saying "this is the checklist for future school shooters," so they widened the scope to all-over wellness. <br /><br />It's a good thing your son didn't make the other day's "I'm so hungry, I never eat enough" comments in school :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773816461928672279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-11418014631173845192009-06-06T13:05:00.019-05:002009-06-06T13:05:00.019-05:00Interesting (what I say when I'm not quite sur...Interesting (what I say when I'm not quite sure what I think about something);)<br /><br />It sounds like maybe they (possibly) are looking for kids with issues, but what exactly is their criteria for that? And the idea that someone could turn my child's name in on a "whim" is definitely a little freaky.MyKidsMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829690651886059542noreply@blogger.com
