To "Do What's Right," I don't automatically think that every adult is a crook, nor did I even make the slightest hint at that in a comment. I am legally considered an adult myself any who. I just stated that I know of several reliable sources that have seen money disappear. I plan on majoring in Criminal Justice in college and I already know how slander and libel can affect peoples lives so you will never hear me say any names or point any fingers. I was basically stating my opinion, which is entitled to me in the first amendment. As for voluenteres helping out in and around the school in various activitys, there will always be someone who will do it. Parents always want to be an active part of their children's lives.

Regarding Senior comments: Just don't assume that because when you and/or several other students hand money to a teacher at the same and they have several things going on and put the money in their purse, wallet or pocket that they keep the money you give them. Their immediate responsibilities are their classroom duties and they take care of other issues, including money for fundraisers, etc. during their planning periods, and before/after school. If you have a problem with trusting someone, have your parent write a check for the amount and that way you have a record it was taken care of properly by your check clearing the bank with the appropriate endorsements. The majority of people are honest but you have people like Robin who couldn't be trusted with any amount of money. Don't assume ALL adults are crooks. It won't be long before you won't have anyone volunteering to help with clubs, sports, or student council because it's too much of a hassle.

Student and Senior: If you have seen money being pocketed, you simply need to know who to go to. Talk to the principal or another administrator about it. If that doesn't work? Go a little higher up on the food chain. Your points will be listened to as long as you know who to say them to, for example, if you were to talk to me about issues about the embezzlement charges I could not help you, but I could send you to someone who could. Before ranting, make a list of points and make sure that they are valid issues that can be addressed, then ask a teacher who to go to about that issue. Don't assume that teachers can fix all of the problems.
