Ron Briggs comes to Carpinteria Middle School
Demystifying Cancer
Continued from page 1
After a somewhat tumultuous era at Carpinteria Middle School that saw more than 75 suspensions last year, Briggs said that he was interested in coming on as principal for the challenge of turning things around in terms of discipline. “It’s hard for teachers (when students misbehave) in a class with 25 or 35 other kids they have to teach,” Briggs acknowledged, but went on to say that simply assigning them punishments like detention “doesn’t work.” At Hueneme High School, Briggs said, he would hisSilk colleagues were Kevin andask Jan spread who the stoke. having trouble with certain students if they knew anything about the kids.
