The Vice-Principal and I were standing in the hall talking when a student walked by. I recognized her as a student from a neighboring school district who lived in the apartment above mine. She was living with a man twice her age and their noisy bed springs kept me awake half the night. Her male companion could have been jailed for statutory rape. None of this was of any interest to the Vice-Principal. He was only concerned about the money paid by the state to educate this young lady even though the money should have gone to the Highline rather than the Seattle School District.
As you might expect there is enough blame to go around. (parents, school board, juvenile authorities, teachers, principals). Was this an isolated, one of a kind instance? I sincerely doubt it.
