Disciplinary Action Taken at Camp What-A-Nut
Increase in
Pranks and Rule-Breaking at Camp What-A-Nut
There has been an increase in
disobedience, misconduct and insubordination at this year's Camp What-A-Nut,
according to a report issued by the camp's board of directors.
"We're alarmed by what appears
to be an upward increase of an alarming trend," said Joseph LaGard, director
of the camp. "When one compares this year's figures with last year's, it's
very clear what's happening. Last year, we only had to send one child home
early for blatant disobedience of camp rules. This year we had to send
three children home early."
When asked what sort of rules
were being flagrantly broken, LaGard explained that the most common problem
was children sneaking out of their cabins after "lights out" each night. "We
also had one instance of theft this year, which is unprecedented. And one
child was caught reading a book behind the equipment shed when he should
have been at archery practice."
LaGard attributes these
problems to the overall decline of moral values in society and a very
liberal attitude towards child discipline by most parents.
