On The Bad List?

Tom Gebo a 6th grader in Spencer, Massachusetts was placed on a bully list at school. His mother Danielle says that his teacher, and all involved in his being placed on the list should be punished. She feels that keeping him in from recess was an unjust punishment, and not an appropriate form of correction. Tom said that he has to report to a teacher after doing anything. If he went to the bathroom, he had to report to his homeroom teacher. Tom admits that he bullied other kids, and now he says that he's being bullied. Tom also said he knows how it feels now, and that bullying is a bad thing...

I would say, lesson learned, and thank you to whatever teacher(s) that took care of this matter, kudos to you!!! We need more teachers that are willing to stand up, and keep order in their class rooms, and care for all of their students!!!

Dr. Ralph Hicks (The District Superintendent) said that he would take care of this matter in whatever way he needed to, and would resolve the matter. Dr. Hicks I think it would be an injustice for you to do anything to your principle or her staff other than to congratulate them on a job well done!

We struggle in the US now with conduct, and with self discipline, simply because good core value, and common sense have been tossed out of the window. Parents have become lazy, and are willing to place blame on anyone other than themselves or their children for disruptions, and downfall. Tough love, understanding, balance, don't cast blame, just do something about what went wrong and do not let the same dog bite you twice! Too much government in America? Perhaps, or could it be too little parenting? Perhaps...

Kids that want to go beyond, usually seek beyond, and find great success. The kids in Hong Kong go to school for a lesser period of time, and have for the most part set higher scores scholastically than our kids. Why? Discipline, drive, determination... Take 3D out of your TV screen, and movie theatre, and apply it to life! Check the videos and be blessed.




Peace, Blessings, & Joy... that real PB&J
