Thread: School Administrators are not bright!

Tweet

BAIL POSTED IN SMALL BILLS: Boys at North Marion High School in Ocala, Florida, knew the locker room was trouble; it was common for valuables and cash to disappear from lockers during gym class, and it had been going on for years. A student finally put his cell phone in an empty locker to record what happened while students were out, and allegedly caught the thief on video:
Steven Simmons, a P.E. teacher who has 25 years of service in the district. The student took the video to sheriff's deputy Tasha Nix, the school resource officer, who confronted the 49-year-old teacher. Simmons allegedly confessed. He was arrested for theft and has resigned. School officials took quick action to ensure nothing like this would ever happen again -- by threatening to expel the student for "using" his cell phone at achool because it's against school rules. (Ocala Star-Banner)... But backed off when parents with torches and pitchforks surrounded the administration building.

Ahh...the standard knee-jerk reaction of those in charge. Locking the barn after the horses escape. Makes you wonder...

Zero tolerance is such a moronic rule... there are ALWAYS execptions to reasonable people.

Education doesn't equate common sense.

Whoa, there! ALL School Administrators are not created equal. My own son, for example, is a Mensa member, graduated from his Masters Program with a GPA of 3.93 and will start his Phd. next year. He aspires to become a School Principal.

The ijjits in this story give School Adminstrators a black eye.

In my opinion it all gets down to the same thing..........the law officials have all the rules......right ,wrong ,or indifferent. your proven guilty ,until you prove yourself innocent!!
