So many bad boys ...

Why do they insist on behaving badly? What will it take to get them to behave? It never seems to be enough. Do I have to use a frat paddle, do I have to cut a switch from a nearby tree and whip them with it until they are sobbing and begging for mercy? They never learn.

I'm due to meet one of them this afternoon. Says he "cursed out a teacher." So, as his "principal," I'm preparing to thrash him AND wash his mouth out with soap.

I don't think he will like it one bit and he may be crying and begging for me to stop. I won't, until I'm satisfied that he's truly sorry.

And yet in spite of what I give him today, I'm sure he'll be right back in my "office" within the month for another offense. Sigh.

They never learn...
