Teenagers charged over school arson.

Teenagers charged over school arson. :

"'This doesn't compensate for the emotional strain and the physical strain, but it's pleasing to know that they've been able to solve it because the police detective was saying that in places like Wallaroo they haven't resolved that as far as I know,' he said."

I wonder sometimes. I sponsor a little boy in Africa who thinks it's a real privilege to gain an education so he can better himself. Other people value their schools and education. Kids go to school to learn because they want to do well. These to went to a primary school to burn it and went back because they hadn't got it right. We haven't got it right. Why have we children who neither value schools nor learning and would actually stand in the way of others who might want to learn? It is very painful to lose a school and its buildings to fire. To know it is deliberately lit would be very hard to take...especially when the school has been trying to get back on its feet after other fires. Maybe the two boys can help rebuild it. Help clean, repair , sort , organise. It will be worse if they are heroes out of this if the kids are glad not to go to school. I hate that attitude when I know how hard some children have to struggle to even get into a school door in their country. Why have we made children who think school is not worthwhile? Why would they burn a school and how do you change the headset of people like that so they don't burn other buildings because they feel like it? To me, they are a real liability unless we know how to repair their faulty thinking. They have caused this much damage and hurt so many peole. How do you develop a logical consequence for that?
