Please reread my post on 12/28. 3:07 choose to quote only two of the names I listed; Consentino and Sapia, conveniently leaving out many other names I mentioned such as Mark Acciard, Leon Artus, Gary Brownfield, and Carol Grant to name a few. Not surprisingly, you cannot see past your bias to understand the point I am trying to make.

So, we have here an article about a student who has written "scathing" opinions about fellow classmates of which, the majority, he probably does not know too well, if at all.<br /><br />And with all of the moral outrage posted here, Anon 3:07's response to my previous post is to offer a flippant remark about my education level. As he posted anonymously and as I am posting under a pseudonym, there is no way for Anon 3:17 to know me, thus, his comment makes him no better than the student who is the subject of this topic and, at the same time, proves my point.The Other New Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-57075136602630271832009-12-10T20:59:48.710-05:002009-12-10T20:59:48.710-05:00It would be good for all the adults here to think ...It would be good for all the adults here to think back to their high school days and what it was like. The cliques, the jocks, the brainiacs, the losers, and those just trying to get through it all.<br /><br />Unless you can recall what it was like the seriousness of what Josh did loses its impact.<br /><br />I remember high school. I hated it. I'm sure I would not have rated very high on Josh's list. Have any of you gone to a high school reunion?

From my own experience with young co-workers, I truly believe this. This is one reason why kids do stupid things. It is also a reason the military likes to get them young.<br /><br />Josh did an extremely stupid thing. But worse, it will not just roll off some of these kids. They've been rated by a peer. At that age, it will have an impact.<br /><br />This is why the school needs to take action to mitigate the situation, NOW.<br /><br />High School can be a pressure cooker, and the larger the school, the more the pressure. It is why I cherish my first days in college because all that crap was gone. No more hall passes, tardy slips, study hall, etc.<br /><br />So, do not compare what Josh did to the criticism our locals receive, and do not diminish its impact to those affected. It is serious stuff and needs to addressed. And I, for one who is paying serious money for these kids education, would like to know what is being done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-21173533867560499352009-12-10T15:07:21.218-05:002009-12-10T15:07:21.218-05:00"I see nothing worse written here that hasn&#..."I see nothing worse written here that hasn't been written on this blog about Phil Consentino, Jack Sapia..."<br /><br />This is senseless. <br /><br />There's no comparison, why don't you learn to make a proper analogy please?<br /><br />Did every senior at Timberlane run for public office, lie to the citizens of their town, try to impead open government?
