In later life he became very dangerous -- constantly attacking people with his fists in public places -- so I kept clear of him. He was consumptive but the immediate cause of his death was a broken heart.","author":"Evelyn Waugh","tags":["brian-howard","broken-heart","consumption","poets","young-men"],"id":116107,"author_id":"Evelyn+Waugh"},{"text":"The cane is just not going to cut it. I shared with some of my colleagues that these brothers live in neighborhoods where they are getting whapped with a piece of stick all night, stabbed with knives, and pegged with screwdrivers that have been sharpened down, and they are leaking blood. When you come to a fella without even interviewing him, without sitting him down to find out why you did what you did, your only interest is caning him, because you are burned out and frustrated yourself. You say to him, ‘Bend over, you are getting six.’ And the boy grits his teeth, skin up his face, takes those six cuts, and he is gone. But have you really been effective? Caning him is no big deal, because he’s probably ducking bullets at night. He has a lot more things on his mind than that. On the other hand, we can further send our delinquent students into damnation by telling them they are no body and all we want to do is punish, punish, punish. Here at R.M. Bailey, we have been trying a lot of different things. But at the end of the day, nothing that we do is better than the voice itself. Nothing is better than talking to the child, listening, developing trust, developing a friendship. Feel free to come to me anytime if something is bothering you, because I was your age once before. Charles chuck Mackey, former vice principal and coach of the R. M. Bailey Pacers school.","author":"Drexel Deal","tags":["at-risk-students","building-trust","burn-out","caning","childhood","communication","conversation","corporal-punishment","department-of-education","developing-friendships","down-to-earth","educators","gang-communities","gang-members","intelligence","interviewing","juvenile-courts","listening-skills","ministry-of-education","open-door-policy","parenthood","punishment","reaching-trouble-youth","rough-neighborhoods","school-officials","school-principals","school-punishment","school-students","senior-pastors","street-gangs","student-gangs","teachers","trouble-youth","young-men","youth-intervention","youth-pastors","youth-reform","youth-retreat"],"id":157763,"author_id":"Drexel+Deal"},{"text":"For a young man has strong imagination but poor judgment, so that he imagines others to be as big as he is but considers himself to be very small.
