Some people just don’t pay attention.
Ah, public education!
A middle school principal in Florida was arrested a few days ago when he was caught trying to shoplift a pack of light bulbs, some bacon, and frozen shrimp–in all, worth $37.45 (https://nypost.com/2025/04/07/us-news/florida-middle-school-principal-arrested-for-shoplifting-at-walmart/).
What is this guy, 12 years old or something? When he was arrested, he told police that “his friends” taught him “skip scanning” (a form of stealing) and he “wanted to see if he could get away with it.”
He’s educating (LOL, or else cry) the children of his community. When he’s not busy stealing from Walmart. Yeesh, what do some of his “teachers” get up to?
There are too many stories like this in the nooze–and they don’t breed confidence in public education.
Please consider homeschooling.
