Today at school, we caught a teacher stealing food from the lunchline. She came through, got a sandwich, some vegitables, and a milk, stuffed them in her pocket, and slipped out. The cashier reported it to the Head Cook, as we are supposed to do. Here's the thing-this is not the first time. I caught her more than once stealing a container of yougurt. I reported this to the Head Cook, like I was supposed to. Today was the first time the Head Cook reported it to the Principal. She even told him this was not the first time, but she said nothing in the past.

What angers me most is, in the first place, if I had seen the theft and not said anything to the Head Cook, I would have gotten in a lot of trouble. She would have basically ripped me a new one for not saying anything. Yet, as a person in a responsible position, she did nothing. In the second place, perhaps this teacher is broke. But these kids are taught that this is never an excuse. She is setting a bad example for these kids.

I guess right now I'm just venting. People wonder why kids are like they are. In some cases, they are being presented with some poor examples.
