A judge declared Jared Loughner incompetent to stand trial. Well no shit. I am so sorry for the pain and suffering all those involved are going through (including his family) I am tired of hearing/reading "The man accused of wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing six in a shooting rampage". It's unfortunate this happened to her but what do we know about the 6 people killed? What about the little girl? We will never know what she could have done in the world. Is Gabriell Giffords more important than Christina Green? What about Judge John Roll? What good was he doing in the world? What about the 4 other people that died?
Next thought.
Collin is probably going to fail at least one core class and possibly two. We expected him to attending summer school. In speaking with the school we found out there are no repercussions for failing core classes until high school. Really? None? We are confidant he knows the material (his F's are from missing assignments) even for kids that do not know the material being held back or repeating classes isn't necessarily an option. If the parents have the means to enroll them into a program similar to Sylvan the kid can catch up to their peers if there isn't the means the kid falls farther behind. I don't know about other districts/states but if their policies are the same how can we wonder why we are falling behind other industrialized nations in education rankings. How can we compete in a global market if we are the village idiots?
