I would also like to say, as a middle school teacher, that the worst thing for these kids is for them to get away with this kind of stuff. The same for the boys the other day who threw the bottle. If they are not stopped now, they will only continue on without limits to worse things. Kids test for limits, and some can get very ugly if they never find any. Of course, if you know their parents and can talk to them, that would be the best. Jo Ann
