[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 370823, member: 1233"] I am glad that the kids at this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) are showing more of a "real world" reaction to what she did. Waiting to punish until the investigation is complete seems like a smart way to handle things and not do more damage to someone who was victimized. I doubt anyone is going to be nice to her for quite a while, esp after the single sex classes are announced. One positive thing is that girls learn far more in single sex classes than in mixed gender classes. Though boys learn less in all boy classes. (Theory is that girls are less likely to ask questions in front of boys. They still ask questions but they don't ask as many or as often. Boys ask very few questions so if there are no girls to ask questions they often don't fully understand and are unwilling to ask because they think they will look "stupid". Or that is what I remember from research I read a while back.) It would be nice if Kanga could connect the anger and disgust of the other kids to her behavior and use this to change her behavior, but I doubt she has enough grasp of reality for this to happen. One can hope though. Kudos to husband for being willing to refuse to take her off campus. She probably shouldn't be allowed to leave campus for anything but doctor appts for a long time. For her safety and the safety of any boy she meets, if nothing else. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
