Ive been keeping an eye on the Samantha Taylor case in Chandler Arizona.
Did you see the video from a Chandler, Arizona school bus? Kids on the bus were out of control, and the bus driver pulled over to ask some students to behave in an orderly fashion.
A fight between the bus driver, Kim Sullivan, and Samantha followed.
It seems lately that many kids are getting more and more out of control. The question is: what are we going to do about it?
Are we going to continue to live in denial, or are we going to help these kids? Are we going to sit back and blame the school system, or are we going to step up and work to change it?
Something needs to be done. Schools are not daycare institutions. They never were intended to be. School systems, teachers, and other educational figures including bus drivers, need to work together for the betterment of children and our communities.
Did you know that for every $1 invested in high quality early care and education, $17 is saved in welfare, crime, special education and unemployment? This figure is quoted by the United Way from High Scope / Perry Preschool Study.
Education not only impacts the children in school and their families, but all of us and our families as well.

Read about that recently. I'm glad that the teen was charged ith assault! Parents need to teach their kids manners instead of allowing them to think it is okay to get out of control.
