Back to Those Friday Blues

Several weeks ago, Decibels shoved me when I challenged her consistent lateness to class. I followed up on her case several days ago. It turns out that nothing was done. Even though she assaulted a teacher, the administrator to whom I referred her scolded her briefly and then allowed her to return to her classes. There was no detention, no suspension, no counseling, no conference with a parent. She attended my class the next day, and every day thereafter, her attitude problem unsolved.

On another note, we just had a faculty meeting during which our principal proudly told us that our school has had zero "dangerous incidents" this school year. Well, numbers stay low when you don't report anything.
