Consequences Make Upstanding Citizens
There are so many sides to issues. The Tucson shooting has many of us questioning how such a tragedy can happen. I don’t like what happened but it seems as if the media will not stop talking about it. They drag it out with their questions that will never be answered. There, I said it. I’m tired of hearing about it. Sue me.
A gym teacher at our local high school has been dealing with a few belligerent students. Said students refuse to suit up and participate in gym. They are required to take so many credit hours of gym in order to graduate. The teacher decided to take large cardboard boxes and make the non-participators sit in the boxes during gym classes. The kid’s parents found out about it and got mad. The teacher got in trouble. I shake my head as the kids are laughing. They didn’t get punished for their disobedience. If, as a parent, I found out my child wasn’t suiting up for a required gym class, 1. I would tell them to get suited and participate 2. I would tell the teacher, while I didn’t appreciate the form of punishment, I admire his efforts, 3. I would punish my child at home. He would wish he could go sit in a box.
If our kids don’t suffer consequences for their actions, why should they be accountable to anything?
