Actually, he's not a rent-a-cop, he's a full fledge police officer. He's been assigned to the school district, and appears to be doing a good job. If he was out-of-touch, my stepdaughter would be in jail right now.
Having met the director of the school, as well as the teachers, I'm confident that they will apply whatever means they have within reason. When they first told us about the ticket, it was clear to me that it was meant, first and foremost, as a scare tactic, to straighten up the kids. As far as I can figure, they must have some kind of leverage, in order to deal with the most difficult kids.
I had a chance to talk with my stepdaughter last night, and although she says that "it's boring" over there, no one is treating her unfairly, and everyone seems to be acting right. Well, except for this one kid... who opted to return a pocket knife to another fellow student, so everyone was searched.
What are "school vouchers"?
Given the small class sizes, and how each student works alone on their own thing, so far, I'm not dissapointed. Concerned yes, but not dissapointed.
My wife and I have decided to alter our work schedule, so that we can get home around the same time that the kids do. Now I've never been a morning person, but I suppose I'll eventually get used to getting up at 4h30 in the morning... (do we have a smilie for :Yawn:?)
