Sadly that does seem to be the case here. But maybe Sidney Poitier will ride into town and change things. 🙂

That was a pretty effective moth repellent the gang produced then, even if it only worked for a limited time. At least the moth now know their opponents aren't going to make this child's play
-
I was trying to be funny, but I suspect, unlike the moth drilling machine, i may have missed my target. 🙂
-
That would be lucky, Kingsley 😀
-
Well, you can't call this chapter boring!
-
I just knew those damned Moth would be back again at some point. But Charlie and company have the ⚽⚾🥎🏈🏐to deal with them.😀
-
I have made an edit. Think it makes more sense now. Thanks for pointing it out.
-
Full stomachs and a good night's rest. What more do you need before going to find...
-
Agreed. Something needs to be done about them and the culture they are fostering at the school.
-
Thanks for the compliment @travlbug I may be tempted to go back and edit that part. I was simply concentrating too much on what else happened after they got home.
-
No Battle of the Bulge in Elfland then.🙂 Methinks we have the begining of an adventure here.
-
I think you can put Mom's lack of attention to Ethan's bruised forehead down to author error, rather than lack of care for her son. As for the rest, it is all stacking up against Jackson.
-
The truth is always simpler I agree. I'm sure you also have a point about what you experienced @weinerdog
-
Can't disagree wth that, except to say I think it would have to be done via the Principal.
-
Yep, it seems they were going to be made to suffer one way or the other. I'm not sure much notice would be taken of any intervention from Wayne's grandparents bearing in mind they are Comanche.
-
Yes, in these circumstances most are afraid to speak up or even be associated with the outcasts for fear of being outcast themselves. Jackson could well be in trouble it seems.
-
I'd think the fact that Derrin was wearing jeans that day indicated he was expectingto be paddled. Of course the strength with which it was wielded is another matter. Yes, Jackson does appear to be ignoring the rule book.
-
Mr Reynolds escorted the three of us to Mr. Jackson's office, knocked on the door and without waiting for an answer, walked in telling the three of us to stay where we were. I was scared and trying hard not to show it; Wayne was showing no emotion, but I was sure there was a trace of a smile on Mather's face when I glanced at him. I was probably wrong as when he saw me looking at him he just sneered, “Think you're better than us don't you Berenson with your Californian airs. You'll wish you neve

I won't say there is always a bad apple in the barrel, but on the occasions there is, actions needs to be taken to remove it before the rot spreads.
-
I'm afraid it does happen. Apologies if the story is stirring up bad memories for you.
-
There does appear to be some sort of vendetta taking place against our boys. The checks on such behavior that one would expect from above, appear to be missing.
-
One does remember the good teachers rather than the bad ones. Luckily I never encountered any abusive ones. Ethan and his parents may just have arrived in time to save Wayne from being pushed into doing something stupid.
-
Very true, but sadly it does happen.
-
They could try, but they don't appear to have a single independent witness as to what actually happened. Even if Wayne did see everything, he is unlikely to be believed.
-
Some excellent points @travlbug As for the prison visit, lets hope the pleasure of seeing his father again after all this time will outweigh the negative thoughts about the location Grandma's are usually very knowledgable.😇
