School B.Day Celebrations

[kandrathe]

What the hell man? What kind of school was that? I was born and raised in a developed country instead, where there are certain rules about what is and what isn't allowed in school.

Ah, sheltered. I went to a more rural school, where being tough was just an expectation.

Yeah, there were rules. It's not so much that the country isn't developed, more that there is so much due process before a child is denied access to education. My sister was almost knifed by a psychopathic love sick classmate, who had invaded our house the previous year carrying a 18" medieval dagger. My mom and I confronted him and convinced him to leave (only to find the police waiting for him at the end of the 1/2 mile road to our house. Once he turned 18, he was released from the psyche ward and returned to the same school, to the same class, to the seat just behind her. That's due process. Within 2 weeks he had brought a knife to school, and attempted to kill her again before school. This time, being 18 now, he was charged as an adult for attempted murder.

Most city schools now have metal detectors to attempt to find the knives and guns. There are two ways to acheive anarchy. Either by having no rules, or by having so many that your justice system becomes ineffective. We suffer from the latter.
