The Transcript reports the Bustoff variety store on Florence Street was held up last Thursday afternoon, by two guys who punched the clerk and put a knife to his throat before they tied him up and pushed him to the floor. On Saturday, a Roxbury man was arrested outside Delfino's on South Street for pulling a switchblade on a man who refused to give him a cigarette.

Meanwhile, news out of the Irving Middle School includes a 12-year-old charged with throwing an open pair of scissors at a teacher and some graffiti threatening death to a specific teacher.

I just happened upon this site and I don't agree that it's the teachers fault for what the kids are doing. Where are the parents? I blame the parents. The parents need to be there for their kids and teach them values, respect, hard work, and to give them the ATTENTION that is needed. The majority of kids don't respect their teachers, which makes teaching very difficult and challenging.
