-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

QUOTE Defense attorney Dane Loizzo said Allen Lee has never been disciplined in school and signed Marine enlistment papers last week. Which goes to prove you can get good grades and still end up in Iraq.... *ba dum bum* --------------------  |

Why for? Anyway, if Congress gets its way, he probably wouldn't finish training in time to deploy to Iraq since he's still in high school. -------------------- Spam?

Also, agree that the decision of the school was excessive.

And so it begins. The fucktard in Virginia wrote "disturbing" 1-act plays, so now anybody who writes something deemed "disturbing" is going to be suspended, pulled out of school, arrested, sent to counseling, etc. etc. etc.

Kids need to learn that their words and actions have consequences and that there are boundaries. I agree with the punishment.

Kids and teachers just dont feel safe anymore. Thats not the point at all. The point is, the students were explicitly told to write what is on their minds without any censorship. You can read - but can you understand and interpret ? I definitely think that essays for school should not be about going on a killing spree. However, when you tell students, to write, anything that comes to their minds without censorship - what do you expect ! Sure you could do this a million times and most people won't write about subject matter that is violent and scary, but any teacher with half an overflowed toilet's worth of shit fragments for brains should know the possibilities. What if in an offshoot chance a child uses such an assignment as a true cry for help ? Didn't you have compassion in a sense for Cho because he had problems and it seemed that nobody was helping him ? At the most they should have talked to the student and say that they felt concerned with his paper and they want to make sure things are going ok for him. Or explicitly mention guidelines in assignments. I had a teacher request an essay one day in form of a petition for an inclass assignment. For us to write in regards to a cause of any kind. I wrote for the eradication of all religions on this planet. She was pissed at me and gave me a C-, if even that...I don't recall specifically. I didn't get in trouble, but it was sure stupid to see that my instructor was being biased on subject matter rather than the actual quality of my paper [and yes I was an A student]. If you want to feel safe, then stop going to school by around 8th grade. By then we were using the sharp compass in math classes. I was also big enough that I know I could effectively stab that into the bodies of multiple people before any security could get there. In Chemistry we had tons of flammable and explosive chemicals on hand. Safety is an illusion we all try our hardest to live in and feel. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |
