(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - A student "finds" a bullet at school and administration has "handled it" by telling the students that were present "Don't tell anyone else we don't want rumors starting or parents to think there was a weapon at school"
Great message they send our children.

- (...) is very concerned about the rich kids loves her coaches that physically and mentally abuse smaller children and will be greatly surprised when students that normally make above level scores on FCAT have a little cat game of bubbling because we are sick of those that have above grade level abilities when they walk in the class being seen as a $ with no work. Above level kids are not taught here they are babysat. If they are smaller they also get to go and be brutalized by the bigger kids under the adult bullies brigade also know as the Physical Education department.
