Ed, I’m calling about students in the Trenton school district. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years and dealing with them is an atrocity: their disrespect, foul language and outrageous conduct in halls. How do you handle food fights in the cafeteria? Feed them peanut butter and jelly for a week? Or continue giving them apples and oranges, which they heave around like fast balls and nothing is done. How do we resolve this problem? None of them gets detention or suspended, and it happens over and over. Something needs to be done with these children.

OK, so you’re a teacher in the school. What are you and the other teachers and the principal going to do about this? You’re complaining to me that they don’t get detention; I guess I’m supposed to come down there and do it for you guys?—Ed. Note
