Not at school.

Regardless of what is going on the community;
and regardless of what is going on in a student's
world; we can draw lines between acceptable and
unacceptable behavior.

We can impose consequences for crossing those lines;
consequences that are likely to mitigate inappropriate behavior.

We can provide teaching and learning environments
that are safe and educationally efficient.


It is a matter only of will.

Will we examine the problem honestly?
Will we involve stakeholders in solutions and
in the decision making process that identifies them?


Or will we continue to invest our energy and resources
in more layers of bureaucrats filling more offices
in the Uptown Administrative Complex?

Why has one of the limited and over stretched home hospital program teaching slots, been eliminated in order to fund another administrative slot and fill another office in the APS UAC?
Why won't the leadership answer questions
about their priorities?

Why don't they have to?
