Leo,

Heh, I can understand that situation, I often see "gangs" of students
smoking near the school after the last bell has rung, and I always notice
the fact that they are in front of someone's yard. I do not know whether or
not any of them live there, but it seems rather odd to me that so many of
them (they have been at more than one place) live so near the school... as I
said, a relatively low percent of teenagers give the rest of us a bad name.
It is always a hassle walking down an overcrowded hallway trying to get to
one's next class, when vatos (don't know if that is the correct spelling...)
are there struting their stuff trying to take as much room as possible. I
have even seen one walking down the hall with a spiked jacket (way against
dress code) on swaying to and fro with no apparent purpose. Why teens do
that is beyond me:)

Sir,

When last I attended High School the name "Goodman" was associated only
with Egg Noodles. My observations of modern high School students are based
primarily on my position as the grumpy old man who sits on his porch whilst
hooligans walk curbside in loosely organized wolf packs howling melodic
obscenities in some strange threatening tongue, wearing the dress of what
appears to be clothing they rummaged from the good will bin, the shoes of
clowns which they do not even bother to lace properly, and they seem to
walk as if they suffer from some rare joint disease. I have yet to see one
with a musical instrument case but I am delighted when I see the occasional
book in hand or a sack on the back :-D
