...and some insist that home schooling should be outlawed...

I'm so glad my two Granddaughters aren't subject to this kind of awful and other as they are home-schooled.

I test them every so often with academic questions. They always exceed my expectation.

Sure, keep your kids in public school...

Even though it was a stabbing, now the anti gunners have something to bark about.

Four shots fired at funeral. Naw, it wasn't gang related at all.

The shots prompted hundreds to run screaming back into the chapel. Others stood stunned; some prayed or called police. After moments of hysteria, a calm, confident female voice told mourners to get up and assured them that everything was OK.
Kinda sad really...

There have been conflicting reports about whether or not shots were actually fired. There was a short scuffle for sure.

SHS was mine was well . . . except 20years ago. I honestly WISH I had graduated from it, but it was my favorite school. I'm not in contact with anyone from any of the other schools I went to except for SHS.

I'm glad this wasn't my principal when I attended:
Students will only be allowed to enter through the main door or a rear door near the band hall - both of which will have metal detectors. Principal Donna Ullrich encouraged students to remove jewelry, belts and other metal objects prior to entering the school.

Extra police officers and counselors will be on campus as well.

"We're going to love those kids. We're going to show up tomorrow and we're gonna do school," Ullrich told mourners at the service Sunday.
