My children attend private school. We are not wealthy, by any means, but the public schools in Little Rock are horrible specifically the middle,junior and senior high schools. Our high school is Luthern High School and it is a fabulous diamond in the rough. I cannot believe the academics this small school provides and the faculty is top notch. Now, we are not the very cheapest private school, nor are we the most pricey-by far. We are proud of our school and work hard to pay for it and keep it maintained. This involves many volunteer hours that students and parents donate unselfishly. A couple of nights ago, our high school was graffitied. Some of it was the usual gang type wordage, but some bone head drew a picture of a penis. Trying to power wash this garbage off our school didn't help and we are trying to figure out how to get rid of the damage. Not only that, someone thinks it is humorous to shoot paint balls at the vehicles and school building. One of the teachers got his car paint bombed, but was fortunate enough to take care of it before it was ruined. Now these teachers are valueable and they struggle to conduct their lives as true role models for our teenagers. God knows they don't get paid enough. They can't afford such damage. I hate vandalism, always have. Laying waste to something that someone has worked hard to build or create is so very wrong. What is being taught to kids today that make these actions alright? Parents, wake up! Certainly you can't be proud of these little hoodlums! We are working very hard to save our school because we are having financial issues there. With a bad economy, attendence is down and it has been painful. We love this school and it is responsible for educating some fantastic, respectful kids. I wish justice could be served and the knotheads responsible would get some jail time and also community service time and a big kick in the ass. But, instead I will crawl in bed and hope a prayer will do some good. I am going to try and get some photos of the graffiti, but I am challenged with technology and it may never happen!
Have you got any graffiti anger issues? I used to think Son#'s graffiti spread throughout our house was the most disturbing I would ever come in contact with--not now!
