Knife at School!

[Risasi]

The days of 'Leave It The Beaver' are long gone.
I'm a Campus Cop. In this little school, inner city, we have students who are Dope Dealers, major members of Gangs, Prostitutes, convicted Felons and most come from single parent families. Very many don't know who their 'real' father is, many have a parent or two in prison. We have an agreement that if a student is wanted, we call’m to the Office instead of arresting them in class. It’s common for us to have a student with a ankle monitor
That kid that turned in the potential criminal was right. Not turning them in would have been wrong.

And this is exactly why I will NOT put my kids into a cesspool of bad company.
Tell me again why anyone thinks a public school (where they would circumvent my children from MY idealogy) is a good idea?

I reject this concept of "society" we have, and will not let my kids turn into bleating sheep. I'm done here. This makes me sick. We've turned into Euroland.

There used to be an old newspaper comic strip called "Pogo."

One of their signature tag lines was, "We have faced the enemy and he is us."

The public and the public schools are the result of our conduct, our collective uncaring attitudes and our laziness when it comes time to vote.

Ultimately people get the government they deserve.

Wow...you guys are still here?

I thought this would have dropped way off the radar (after having been locked...) by now...

Hey, I'm a Buildings & Grounds Supervisor. Suburban, relatively affluent, group 3 high school outside of Philly.

As Tourist said-ZERO TOLERANCE. Don't even bother to think about taking a knife to school. Full-time 'SRO' (police officer) onsite, three full time security guards, 64 cameras running 24/7.

That's the reality 'today'...

Now as to the original post-

Sounds like a hall monitor to me. Drop the big ole dime on a numb-nut who was CLEARLY playing around to impress his buddies. No matter what anyone thinks of such behavior, are we really going to seriously entertain the idea that this was some kind of a viable threat?

Jealosy maybe? Here is this "loser" showing off his blade, when the OP is a good little boy who would never do such a thing.

Knowing full well, what such a "casually" asked question would bring down on this kid (and others who weren't even involved...). Big man on campus now-really put that gangster in his place...

Yep, that's sure High Road

Don't you have to be at least as tall as the stork's beak to get on this ride?

Please, end this charade now and kill this thread...

. . . and kill this thread . . .

On review, I think it's best.

We've been flirting at the edge of civility for some time now.

And it's my bed time.

G'nite.
