I just took a minute to read the rest of the story at the link. There's some funny schidt.
Two weeks in and Boland was crying in the bathroom.
Kids were tossing $110 textbooks out the window. They overturned desks and stormed out of classrooms.
There were seventh-grade girls with tattoos and T-shirts that read, “I’m Not Easy But We Can Negotiate.”
Their self-care toggled in the extreme, from girls who gave themselves pedicures in class to kids who went days without showering.
Kameron was in a league of his own. “I was genuinely afraid of him from the minute I set eyes on him,” Boland writes. After threatening to blow up the school, Kameron was suspended for a few months, and not long after his return, a hammer and a double switchblade fell out of his pockets.
The principal gave up. Kameron was expelled.
“Oh, they getting real tough around here now,” one student said. “Three hundred strikes, you out.”
