To: The parents or guardians, or voters of Bradley Armstrong

From: The School of Life

Bradley Armstrong: KVHD board member since the "hey let's build a Skilled nursing facility" era 20 years ago.
(He's been held back, and as we know that doesn't mean he's not any smarter than friends, Bobby "Jaws" Jamison, and Chet, "chit chat", Beedle)

From the teacher: We have had some behavior problems with Bradley as he continually attacks other students and blames them for his problems. When confronted with his misdeeds, Bradley, will either pretend he doesn't hear you or simply ignores the situation. I would crack a ruler across his knuckles, but he carries a gun.
Behavior: D

Knowing the rules of the playground: Bradley continues to forget to sign the rules sheet or follow the rules and when told what the rules are, he gets very angry. Rules: F-

Missing School: In April 2007, Bradley gave several stories as to why he couldn't attend the school meeting. He was very creative with his stories, he was out of town, the road was closed, someone was sick out of town, there were sheep in the road and he couldn't make it there. So, we cancelled the meeting even though there were enough board members to continue forward. The next day Bradley suddenly appeared and was rude to the teacher when she caught him in his lies. He had help shutting down that meeting. Friends, Bobby, Chet, and his mother, the redhead (can't think of her name) gave different stories to cover for the lad. Brad's excuse was nothing more than there were issues he didn't want to deal with at the meeting. So, we rescheduled that month.
Attendance: F

History: Brad continues to change the history books and appears to not understand the link between past and the present. Brad solemnly admitted there were mistakes in the past, but doesn't take responsibility for any of it. And the recent past hasn't been much better as Bradley got caught up in a gang. His friends who use only abbreviations, RHDN and ASAI, pushed Brad to get in on the playground, and not knowing any better apparently, he let them in. We know they took his lunch money and stole from the school, but Brad doesn't seem to think there was anything wrong with that.
History: F

Math: Brad has been copying the papers of friend, Chet Beedle, and doesn't understand the problems. He doesn't understand questions like, if you cut the number of people caring for other people, that you will have a disaster. He also let's Chet do all the talking and figuring for him, without a question out of his mouth. At least if your going to copy someone's paper, let it be someone who knows math. It's easy to see that the same numbers come from both students.
Math: F

Group Participation: We were worried for a while when Brad had his mother at school with him for four years, as we wanted him to learn to be independent. At one point his mother was so pushy that she wanted Brad to stay on the school board so she could continue to hang out at school. She threatened other students who were running for the board, calling them names, and making them look bad. Brad, didn't really want to run for the board again, but his mother insisted. Brad won another seat just before major problems took place. Finally, we were able to run off his mother, but Brad's attitude didn't change.
Group Participation: D (for damage)

Personality: Brad has been known to say or blurt untruths recently as he doesn't like the new students making any decisions. He's very private, not shy, but does not want people to know what he's doing. Recently he showed some bullying, but he was berating and taunting a girl at her workplace. His personality is autocratic since he has been at the school far too long. We had a problem with him cutting off phone calls containing important information. We see a need for counseling and recommend he doesn't use his old counselor, Scott Nave.
Personality: Problematic

Serious problems: Not only has Brad become a bully, but since his friend in the Principal's office left, (the one who would let him get away with making decisions outside the scope of his board seat) Brad has been trying to make trouble for the school. We now have a new principal, and we don't know how Brad is going to react. We've alerted the new Prinicipal about Brad's lying problem, but he must also watch out for tacks on his chair.

In conclusion, Brad has been bad. F
