Uproar over decision to cancel graduation

Some believe this occurrence can be turned it a positive wake-up call for every school in Bahamaland. I, for one do not believe this is some isolated behavior. It has run much deeper, in the classrooms, hallways, playgrounds of their school. The good reverend must accept some personal responsibility and not lay the blame solely on students, like this has come as a total shocked to him and his board. Long before anyone ever stands before a judge to answer to a criminal matter, they've passed through our broken education system. I can see from some of these parents comments that they too have missed the boat when it comes to the rearing of their children. Of course i feel for the parents of the students not involved. Equally, I cry shame on any parent who thinks their child's behavior is acceptable. No wonder MP's get slapped around in the House. Wouldn't it be interesting to look back to examine the behavioral trends of some of our MP's, when they too were preparing for prom night? Maybe they would be acting differently in the House, if only their prom night had been canceled?

So the parents are upset -- but a lawsuit? Really? Have any of the children apologized for their bad behavior that precipitated the cancelation? What about showing respect to those in authority? What kind of example are these parents setting for their children? Still scratching my head over this one.

I think the lesson in this, is the parents need to hold their children accountable for their actions. In their adult life bad behavor will lead to more serious consequences. Parents let the kids know what they have caused you, and stop bailing them out. Their vulgar behavior will only get worse and you will be looking at your good child through bars or a glass.
