sharkfin, Who said that somebody with a high IQ was better?

What was being spoken about was fair treatment and procedural fairness for all

Jolanda, Given that you dont see your son in the school setting, perhaps he really is a little pr!ck. There are a lot of parents who have big trouble with the image of their little darling as anything other than angelic. The fact that he has lebanese ancestry doesnt excuse him from being a trouble-maker anymore than it will make him one. Make sure that you are not looking through rose-coloured glasses before throwing hefty accusations.

Country Girl. My son is not a little prick. He is a polite and respectful student and all his school reports will support as will everybody who has ever had to deal with him. He has high morals and he is a respectful and helpful student and citizen. He is a good role model and leader.

But I honestly wouldn't blame my son if he turned into a big prick given the attitudes towards him.

A similar attitude that people have towards those of dark background is had towards children/teenagers.

People just see them all as scum. Then they wonder why our youth is so mixed up and is so angry and aggressive. It seems that it doesn't matter how good you are, you are going to be treated like sh.t anyway.

There is a terrible attitude problem in society and it is sending us backwards.

My son did nothing wrong, he was targeted and that Country girl is a fact. As a human being, he deserves to be treated fairly in Education, regardless of the negative and unfair attitudes towards him.

Does this sound like a little prick to you?
