Ron Gruwell Quotations

Until we have staff look at new course options, we will be setting kids up for failure.

If the young person would have made the correct choice, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now. If I get picked up for speeding on the highway, I don't particularly care for it, but I know who was driving and who was to blame.

Unless we put a purple stamp on the forehead of every freshman and have security at every door, we cannot keep them from leaving at lunch.

We know there are students who struggle with the expectations we have now. We want to be able to help them, whether anything changes or not.

How do you ever know if it's enough? To me, I guess one definition that it's enough is does the individual know it's wrong? Does the individual know that it's illegal? Does the individual know that it could be harmful? My hunch is you could go into an elementary classroom, and those kids would know that (about underage drinking). I certainly know that at the senior high school, they would know that.
