No leaders coming out of this graduating class of seniors. The food fight only uncovered followers and bystanders. They did nothing beforehand or during, to change the action of a small group. It seems that one true leader could have influenced the others to come to terms and see that this wasn’t a good idea? Come on people the world already has enough bystanders and followers. Some parents are whining now saying the punishment is too harsh. To the parents, did you teach your children about: respect, leadership, responsibility and consequences? You can’t expect kids to learn “it all” in “leadership” school. Parents are still responsible and should be good role models. Otherwise, your money would have been better spent on diapers and wipes. A lesson on the consequences of life is better learned now, rather than later, when they leave home. Oh yes, let’s hope that they do leave home! I suggest that the students negotiate the appropriate punishment with the Principal and you parents stay out of it. Perhaps the food fight would not have happened if parents had been more influential over the past seventeen or eighteen years, a teambuilding event such as bowling, mountain climbing, sharing a movie, having a great lunch together or going to a game park to ride the bumper cars would have been the choice instead of throwing food at one another….…..
