And Now The Latest From Fox News...

Consider going and taking a look at Joanne Jacobs' latest column over at Fox News. It's a nice roundup of stories about students that have been behaving badly:

Last month, 16-year-old Jeff Weise murdered his grandfather and his companion. He then went on to kill a teacher and a campus security officer at Red Lake High School. The tribal council has made some surprising decisions concerning who will receive monies that were donated to the victims' families.

In Colorado, some schools have been intentionally under reporting incidents of school site violence in order to improve their statistics.

The videotaped sexual assault of a 16-year-old female special education student and what happened afterwards to the school administrators that attempted to discourage the child's father from reporting the crime to the police.

An ex Marine that is now in medical school offers some not-so-practical-but-o-so-tempting advice for the parents that have out of control teens.

Did you know that there is a kid out there that is asserting that he has a religious right to attend high school with a face made-up to look like a "goth clown?" (As a classroom teacher, I find this story to be potentially problematic, especially if the clown persuades ACLU to attend services.)

Since these are Joanne's stories, you'll need to go over to the Fox News Channel's website to read 'em. --------------------------An Invitation: All writers and readers of education-related posts are invited to contribute to the eleventh edition of The Carnival of Education.
