Dear Mrs. Haden. Congradulations! I have an idea. Why don't you help "impact our students" by returning the power of discipline back to the teachers, bus operators and other school employees? Oh, I understand that we don't know how to discipline children and the schools are afraid of lawsuits and why spread the risk that comes with offending parents to a bunch of stupid employees that know nothing about making parents and children accountable for their actions. I hope you are not another spineless, want all the power for yourself, I know more than you liberal. It's time for things to change in this state. If we cain't have a payraise, for Gods sake, return the power back to us that was taken in the early 90s. Our jails are filling up with with these children that have never been held accountable for their actions. The children know we are powerless and take full advantage of it. This is not fair to us and you people don't care.
Someone should really proof-read all story titles for spelling before posting. Especially when talking about a state-wide school board member's election.
