Reasons I don't want to work in a High School...

Today will probably be a multi-post day because already I have a lot to cover. Today, I went to the high school in the town that I am working in. It's a decent sized high school, and 300 people per grade. And there I met with the safety officer and the officer who deals with Juveniles... So what i did for the first two hours of my day was talk to him. About everything involving high school security, the idiots that go to high school, the dumb people that run the high school, how much the system sucks and a whole bunch of stories that I will share with you now... without names and personal details of course... because who needs those?

So going back to an older case, there is this girl... and she is an adult, and she is at risk of being charged with a felony... and yet, even though the DA is telling her to take this really good deal, she won't, because she is "evidently" really scared of the people she'd be flipping on... despite the fact that the police have offered her protection. But as dumb as not taking the deal is, there is something worse. The other girl involved in the crime is a juvenile. A Juvenile who now walks around her school like she's untouchable... a juvenile girl who has not had any charges brought against her, even though there are now TWO crimes she is a part of.
                                                                        Fair or No fair?
If you know me at all, you'll know that this pisses me off. Being a freshman girl in highschool does not excuse you from criminal charges. It does not excuse you from the law. It does not make you above the law. Lady Justice does not smile upon this case, or this girl. And neither do I. I assure you there will be more on this case to come, mostly because it bothers me and it's taking a long time to deal with.

Another thing with high school kids is, they don't learn. And they don't listen, even when you think they have a soul and you think that there is a good quality about them. They just... suck. So take this one kid, right? He gets caught with marijuana and so gets 20 hours of community service, the officer at the school does him a solid, and is helping him out with the community service and getting to know the kid. The kid does everything right. Later, the officer finds out that the boy is hanging out with the wrong kids. These are bad kids let me tell you. So, the officer tells the kid "Don't hang out with him, he's bad news". The kid says "well, i've known him forever." And then the kid gets a kind but stern lecture.
                                                         Can you guess what happens next?
About two weeks later, said kid gets arrested for assault. And who is he with at the time? The bad kids. You see what happens when you don't listen to people who know best and understand the law and have seen all this shit happen before? You get arrested. In high school. For assault.

Now... speaking of this bad kid... and this I swear to god is a bad kid. He doesn't want to go to school, so he doesn't. He deals drugs, he assaults people. And seriously man, he's gotten away with it for however long he's been at it. His parents think the sun, moon and stars shine out of his ass and refuse to ever believe he's done anything wrong. That's the first problem. The second problem is that no one has stuck this royal douchebag into a juvenile detention center... although.... this kid is now an adult. LET'S SEE YOU TRY THAT SHIT NOW SUCKER.

And now, I just want to list some stupid things kids at this high school have done. Stolen paper from the copier in the main office when secretaries were right there, tried to break back into the high school during school hours when he no longer had anymore classes that day, parked in a staff parking spot so many times that she got over $200 in tickets, attempted to get out of a signed contract by threatening to call their attorney (a school contract none the less), and many many more things.
                                                               Damn, high school kids SUCK.

But then you have to think about the policy of the school... and the police. It all sucks. The school won't do anything about delinquents if they don't do it on school property. Kids don't get really punished. Basically, you're living in a glass bubble where you can do no wrong. And then the school has some serious issues with attendance... like the situation where a kid ran away to Michigan and the teachers were still marking the kid as present in the class. Or the time when a kid attempted suicide and the teachers marked him as present in school when he hadn't been in school all day. This is what we call negligence and it's both wrong and disgusting... especially coming from the people who are supposed to be teaching these children.  Also, the school won't put in any surveillance cameras... even though most schools have... especially after Newtown. Schools should really want to protect their kids... and you know, in a wealthy area, this school should have so much more money to put towards school security.

Now... a quick rant.

NO 16 OR 17 YEAR OLD BRAT NEEDS A BRAND NEW CORVETTE/MERCEDES/AUDI/ PORSHE ETC. YOUR KID WILL CRASH THAT CAR WITHIN TWO YEARS, AND THEN, YOUR ALREADY HIGH INSURANCE WILL GO UP. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY THEM A CAR, GET THEM A NICE USED CAR THAT WON'T RAISE YOUR INSURANCE BY THE COST OF ANOTHER CAR. YOUR BRAT IS NO DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER KID AND NEEDS TO LEARN THAT INSTEAD OF YOU TEACHING THEM TO BE MORE MATERIALISTIC THEN THEY ALREADY ARE. SHEESH. 

End Rant.
