> It’s what taxpayer/parents get for all of tax dollars... nothing. Nothing is ‘better’.

>We pay a fortune in taxes for our schools, and the kids are no better by any metric, nor is there any safety. Where were the teachers/coaches/staff to monitor the locker room? (I remember our gym teacher would come in every 3-5 mins or so, give a time check ‘10-more minutes!’ Leave.)

>Why are students permitted to have phones (cameras) in a locker room while others are changing? Nobody thinks that’s a problem—18yo with cameras with minors changing clothes? Smart people think ahead of the curve to prevent an ‘appearance of evil’, instead of cleaning up messes and saying ‘boys will be boys’.

>If these kids think this was ‘fun’ to sit on someone’s face and twerk, and others cheer or nobody helps— they are damaged. That is not normal, nor should it be normalized. End the season. These kids are the fruit of Haverhills’ labour, and no amount of money can fix a mental instability.

It’s like you lost track of what you were responding to a sentence and a half in. Unless your argument is that teachers are paid too much because of one specific incident?

Even then, I’d be interested in your thoughts on how you’d routinely temporarily confiscate kids phones every gym class. Also, if you think this would be a decision made by teachers.

Further, which teacher should have been checking on these students? The football teacher? You even mention the coach - you know this is a football practice, not a class, why would a teacher be there?
