[House] 2nd article on Monroe Elementary

[RJ Johnson]

BTW after I sent that EAG article I did some checking on them; they do have
a political axe to grind. The article from the local source was saying much
the same thing, though.

I'm not stressing too much; I'll probably ask more about the "avoid
suspension at all costs" policy, though (of the school). I'm not a strict
disciplinarian by any means, but at some point you have to say "enough is
enough". I'm curious how they determine when/where that is.
