I've never done this before. The only blog I've ever read is Jet's, and that is kind of intimidating. Am I supposed to be profound? Is my writing supposed to be coherent and well-structured?
I'm assuming that I should express my thoughts. Well here goes: it's Friday night and I'm exhausted after a long week at work, but I'm too tired to go to bed. At school this week there has been a lot of discussion about school safety, since a 14-year-old boy was gunned down in the hallway of his school a few days ago (the funeral was yesterday). This is the very first school shooting in Toronto -- but that is not to say that it couldn't happen in my school. This is what we've been talking about all week -- it could happen anywhere, in any school where the administration doesn't take the issue of student and staff safety seriously. A couple of weks ago a female student threatened to stab a teacher. All that the principal wanted to do was suspend the girl for a few days, and then promise the teacher involved that the girl would be removed from her class, and that she'd be escorted to and from her other classes. We were all supposed to be happy with that. Perosnally, I think that threats to kill or do bodily harm should be taken to be serious threats at a literal level. The principal eventually backed down and had the student sent to a special program. But he could have just as easily stood firm on having her stay.
