Oh, I think it says volumes about the student body alright, but even more about the lame superintendent and teachers who must be shown the way by those they are supposed to be teaching -- all the lessons aren't in the textbooks. Just as true though, all the lessons aren't taught at school, so this story also says volumes about the parents of these children. What ARE they learning at home? It's just becoming TOO convenient to blame things like this on the schools and the "other" kids. Look in the mirror, for starters.
