McCardle,Ellery."John Marshall Supends 18 in Hazing Incident." kaaltv.com.28.Sept.2011.Web.29.Sept.2011.
Nearly two dozen Rochester high school students were suspended after a hazing incident that happened last Friday at John Marshall High School, states Ellery McCardle of KAAL news. During a spirit week event at homecoming many upper classman were throwing objects and other things at younger classman. One senior said, “I heard some other rumors about having them stand in trash and maybe throwing food at them." Another said, “This has been tradition for a while now." While the school is not taking the situation lightly many say that they need to enforce the codes better around school. Students involved were suspended for three days. Also, none of the victims were injured. McCardle did a great job including info and statements to local readers in our area.
I think hazing in schools would be a very interesting topic to do research one. I believe this is a very controversial topic because as a student everyone goes through this and it's just one of the factors of high school. Everyone at some point in their lifetime goes through it.
I heard about this incident too and almost wrote my blog on it! Hazing in schools can be a really good topic to write about because sadly there are a lot of cases of it within schools. You would easily find a number of sources and information. The two different sides could be those who believe it is an issue versus those who believe it is just a part of growing up and going through high school.
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear about this incident so I am glad you wrote about it! I think this issue is becoming more of a problem, I also think that schools take things too seriously sometimes. But it is always a good topic to be aware of and always something that shouldn't be taken too lightly.
