Pineneedles4 -- my SIL was a teacher for 25 yrs. She says things have changed so much -- that their hands are tied. Teaching was no longer fun or enjoyable. I know she raised hell a few times and only because she had tenier did she keep her job. More teachers, parents, and authorized people need to raise holy hell instead of sitting by and letting the ignorants make the rules! Yes, this boy may have been trying to hide it because he knew he was in the wrong. And to call out the police, as someone said who have more important things to tend to, is ludicrous!
