Break In #3
Our school was broken into for the third time this year at some point on Tuesday night. Same pattern as the last break in: busted administration office windows, glass everywhere, and the IHS/alternative-school teacher's room a mess. These kids come in looking for items that have been confiscated, possibly to sell. I-Pods, MP3s, cell phones, drugs, drug paraphernalia, etc.
And who's to blame for these break-ins? A school administration impotent because of broken security cameras or lack of tribal support? They know who broke in last time, but the VP claims he didn't expel because he wants to see these kids make it. But these kids aren't going to make anything, except for the school unsafe. And that sounds like a BS answer coming from him anyway.
Is it the fault of whoever it is who should fix the security cameras and doesn't?
Is it the fault of a tribe that has no juvenile court system and doesn't arrest, prosecute, or hold accountable for damages these kids and their guardians?
Or is it the fault of the guardians themselves? These kids have no role models. They have no one in their lives who deserves respect, so they don't know how to respect anything. One is supplied with drugs by his guardian, and he sells them at school to his so-called friends.
Some of my kids really want to learn. Some of my kids want to graduate from high-school, go to college, and get out of here. Personally, I'd be happy if the drug-dealing 8th graders and the kids who smash this place up were expelled for good, no matter whose fault it is. Because ultimately, someone has to take the blame, and these kids need to learn that there are consequences. Many kids come here not because they want to learn but because it's the only safe place they have to go. I'd like to see it stay that way.
Stay tuned for Sun Rise Dance Part II.
