Someone's going to get killed in my kids' high school parking lot

Drip - My son is a senior and my daughter is a freshman (that's why I laughed so much at the speedbump comment). My son doesn't have his license yet, though he's got an 02 Ranger waiting for him in the driveway. We live in Michigan.

I was treated this afternoon to a fistfight between two young men right across from my car. The principal and rent-a-cops were there lickety-split. The principal looked really, really pissed.

 

Outstanding ... are you opening for Liza at the Sands?

 

Muffy? Who names their kid Muffy?

 

Spinited, most districts now put the radius out about 3 miles for busing. It's a money thing. a smaller radius means more kids ride, which means more buses and drivers are needed.

 

This sounds like the parking lot at every high school in the country.

 

Unfortunately, you're right.

 

I saw after school today that several cars had tickets on them. The kids are supposed to buy permits. And, the last two days, there have been a lot fewer cars.

Looks like progress, at least for the time being.

 

We called it Bumper Sliding but we did it in the winter on icy roads without a rope. Just grab the back bumper and hang on.

Yeah, I know, not real smart.

 

Man, I was hoping I wouldn't have to rekindle this thread, but after school today, there was a fight right behind my car that spilled alongside my car. The dumbasses bounced off the car, inches from my daughter who was sitting in the back seat. Yes, they scratched my NEW CAR.

I sent a really nasty e-mail to the principal and CC'd the superintendent (I didn't involve him last time). I want my children to attend a safe school, damn it. Get the shitheads out of there! My son wants to graduate from this school in June. I'm seriously thinking about moving my daughter to a different high school in the district for her sophomore year. Eff this.

 

They scratched the rod? WolvEagle, you had every right to open a can of whip ass. In that situation, I would've used strawberry flavored whip ass.

 

Did you call the cops wolv?

 

There was a cop in the lot. He was there within about a minute. The rent-a-cops got there about 15 seconds before the cop.

Oh, and I just found out that there's a school board meeting tonight (I'm not going). Wonder if the super sees the e-mail before the meeting and hits the roof?
