Whats going on at Scots College?

[catey]

yeh way to give scotch college a bad name fellas!! Nah basically all the youngings are right. Any school public or private has parties that get out of hand because of gatecrashers, excessive drinking and drugs. So even though it is great that he has taken this action, I think he and the parents are being way too over the top about it and should probably be lecturing parents on responsible parenting rather than saying that the children are just rich rebellious kids with more money to buy harsher drugs. And speaking from experience, parties after big sporting matches do get out of hand and there are a large number of schools both public and private that have celebrated in a similar way, so the only unique thing is that this teacher dude has taken action.

There is nothing new here, this was all going on 20 years ago too - always has been, always will. Some get caught, some don't.

I never hired a stripper or had the opportunity to see one whilst in high school. I never smoked dope or took hard drugs whilst in high school. I never drank alcohol either, except with my parents present and under their supervision. I never crashed other people's parties or had mine crashed.I never beat the crap out of innocent people or had the crap beaten out of me. I never got beyond holding hands and a goodnight kiss from the pro temp loves of my life when at high school.

You see, I was an immigrant kid at a Government school who's folk kept a watchful and caring eye from a comfortable distance, and apart from a couple of furtive cigarettes behind the toilets I didn't have much exposure to the dubious adult pleasures of life. I had my rugby, my friends both male and female,my school work, my holiday jobs, my fishing and my other sporting interests.That was it.

Everything else I was exposed to in spades when I was older and able to exercise my own judgment with a degee of maturity.

My heart bleeds for todays children, including my own.We adults have created a world which robs them of their childhood and thrusts them into an environment of hedonism where there are no limits and no rules at an age where they are too young to make value judgments. We have abrogated our resposibilities to those we treasure most in our pursuit of our own selfish interests.

I'm no wowser, I can take a joke and I don't give a toss about religion. I am as rough and tough as the best of them when the need or occasion arises.But it hurts me to think that we have allowed things to get to the stage they apparently are.

Good luck Rev. Syme, you're going to need it.

I think its great how Scotch is leading the push to stop this behaviour in schools. I'd still recommend Scotch as THE school to go to in WA to anyone who asks.
