Soooo last summer, I did a horseback riding clinic. Jojo attended. He rode the scary horse. The one that threw the girl that went before him.

He was residential juvenile prison. He got out. He came to me in the alternative school. I spent my planning period teaching him and two other students social skills.

He got busted dealing prescription drugs at our alternitive school and is now back in juvenile jail...He's 12. He's a baby, but he held a family at gun point and robbed their house. He sells prescription drugs at school and anywhere else he can. But he's 12. He's still a baby.

What the hell do I do for him???

I asked him prior to him being carted off... Why Jojo... Why???

He said, "I'd rather be in jail than at home."

He would rather be in jail. How can that be fixed? No child left behind???? Fix that Mr. Bush.
