Torn

My school had two incidents of threatening notes last week. The police caught the kids who did the first note and are closing in on the second. The names of the two boys were going around school yesterday. Most kids who know them were defending them and saying that they didn't mean it and didn't want anyone to see it.

Well, that's not going to cut it these days. The teacher that the first note targeted, spent a terrified week worrying about her safety and her child's safety. Add in 1100 freaked out students and 100 staff, 20 plus police officers added to the building and their little note caused a lot of damage.

Schools need to be safe. Calm. A place to learn and grow.

Movie of the Day: Stand and Deliver. A great movie about a school in East L.A. where students go from taking basic math to the Advanced Placement Calculus test. Inspiring!
