Busy life and traveling for work will likely prevent a site update until Wednesday, April 13. Please continue to send in your tips though - I’d much rather post a story a day or two late than miss a good one.

If anybody has a file with the news article about the Australian kid that was suspended for defending himself against a group of kids who videotaped the beating, please let me know. The original link is down and I’d like a “real” copy of the article to pass along.
My name is Austin Hamilton. I have been doing a report for my college class, comp 2. I have seen both sides of the story, being i’ve studied it for 2 months. I see how zt can help the lives of those that dont act out of place or involve themselves with the “out group”. Ive also seen first hand what zt does for a kid caught in the wrong place. My best friend was just in the wrong place in the wrong time, now he is expelled. Many of us have been caught in these situations where we cant live them down or get out of. Do we second guess ourselves on the “truth”? No, of course not, so why should we ruin a life so early. If he tried to go to another school, that school would see his transcript and immediately reject him. A job interview, we’ve all had plenty of them, were would you be if you had a expulsion on it(not very far). Granted their are kids out their that are knowing and willingly making bad judgments on their own. Those kids do need help(im sure we all agree on that). If we release them into society what job did we just do for ourselves? Now they have noone to tell them what is right from wrong, to help them, to let them know that their may be a person out their that does care for them. Our duty as a school or communitty is too help kids not reject. If we dont it will come back and bite us, as it always has and will. Think of this…your child, wrong place, wrong time, you cant help him, your words are useless under zt.
