Rising discipline problems strain elementary schools
A South Peace trustee says principals and counsellors are overwhelmed by growing behaviour issues. Problems shift from Grades 7 and 8 to Grades 2 and 3 as learning deficits rise. She calls for partnerships with social services to pool resources and support teachers and students. Principal Gary Moore notes earlier independence and more defiance and vulgar language among children. He urges coordinated values from parents and educators to raise behavioral standards. The piece also includes unrelated historical notes on April Fools Day and school pay practices.

Preventing child abduction in North Carolina
Parents can reduce abduction risk by never leaving children unattended and discussing what to do if lost in malls or crowds. Keep up to date photos and fingerprinting where offered, memorize home or office numbers, teach 911 use, and instruct children on stranger danger and enticement. If separated, inform school administrators about visitation rights and who can pick up the children.
