Speaker 1: Hi Mom, it's me, I got in trouble again at school today.

Speaker 2: Hi, this is Ms. Jones again. I'm finding your son very disruptive in class, more so than other students.

Speaker 1: I feel like the teacher doesn't like me. Other kids do bad things, but they don't get in trouble.

Speaker 2: He's defiant and shows a real lack of respect for any structure or authority.

Speaker 1: I hate school because the teachers are always mean to me and I don't feel like I'm learning anything.

Speaker 2: I'm really concerned about his behavior.

Speaker 1: I'm always getting in trouble for what I didn't do.

Speaker 3: We're going to have to adopt a zero-tolerance policy, young man.

Speaker 1: School keeps calling my mother and she gets really, really mad at me. What is going on? You'd better explain. I feel like the whole world has turned up against me and doesn't like me anymore.

Speaker 4: There are days I get up and I just decide I'm not going to school. If you go to the park, everybody's always telling me I'm not worth anything, so what's the point of trying?

Speaker 2: I know the cops are watching us, but we just hope we don't get caught. Your son's absences are a problem. They will definitely affect his grade point average.

Speaker 5: I don't feel safe in my class anymore. Should I assume you're unprepared again today? I would always eventually get picked on by the teacher. He makes examples of me.

Speaker 4: I feel really single out and I just try to avoid people because every time I look, somebody's always talking about me or she's always getting in trouble.

Speaker 5: I started fighting more because nobody wants to hang out around a troublemaker. The only time I have real friends is when I'm on the block, so that's where I'll stay.

Speaker 3: I'm sure you understand we take our discipline policies very seriously here at the school. What are we going to do about your son? For more information, visit www.fema.gov
