<p>If this whole thing is so important to you and Kevin, and it appears from all the time and trouble you have taken with it, that is is, I suggest you take off the year, take a gap year, both of you, and see this thing through. It takes courage and sacrifice to stay the course as a whistle blower or to correct a wrong, as you have seen. It’s not as though you get patted on the back and rewarded. If there is something rotton going on at your high school and you want it cleaned up, getting the press, letting the school board know, bringing it out into the open is important, and it will take time and concerted effort for you to do this. If you leave this as it is, the most likely conclusion is that it will all be sweeped under a carpet. </p>
<p>I don’t like to see things like this happen either and in my youth took the trouble to clean up some messes, but it was a lot of work, and it cost me. In cases like this, it may cost you more to leave it half hanging.</p>
