Say What?

What does this story say, I mean really say?

Callahan kids fashion homemade weapons

The Item did a good job of reporting of the occurrence. But the facts seem to say more, much more.

The fact that Starbard was the only LSC member who was asked about the problem was a little disconcerting because it begs other questions like "Was he the only school official aware of the problem?". The answer to that question was answered when he he indicated that the superintendent's office was unaware. It is true that they can't be expected to know every single incident that happens, but on the same token they can not selectively micromanage schools.


On a good note, it also shows the power of the Internet as an effective learning tool. Let's make lemonade.

  3. Got to love Rick. He helped with the Ten-footer, the Tech kids will be soon helping restore. I hope this positive publicity for the school system, makes news :)

  5. Stanley,

    I am surprised that I have not seen you juxtaposition this event with a similar event at Sewell-Anderson where a ten year old special needs child has been expelled for kicking another child. One kick got him booted out, excuse my pun (but feel free to steal it - I give my permission).
