An English teacher has too much knowledge to spread on her subject area (hell, we just had STAAR testing in this state) to have to worry about teaching teenagers how to act on the street. That all starts at home, especially since those parents will be the very ones standing in court talking about how junior is a saint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-72637500292019125232018-04-15T04:24:13.369-05:002018-04-15T04:24:13.369-05:00If young males could stay off the roads on weekend...If young males could stay off the roads on weekend nights that by itself would bring the crime stats down.
