A friend I spoke with from Madison Central said he grabbed it from the food lab that they were in.

Your probably right, it adds up as well. But it is too easy to bring weapons to school. I've witnessed kids do it, and get away with it.

:thatsfunn:Are you serious? What does this have to do with anything? Are teachers supposed to be strip searching each student that walks into their classrooms?

Stab 'em back. Thats what Id do.

This absolutely makes zero sense whatsoever. Teachers are there to inspire, be role models, and educate our future...not to allow kids to bring weapons and harm one another. That is just pure ignorance. if you have never heard of a little thing called "No Child Left Behind" all students are to be at a level of Proficiency by 2014 (I believe) in the main content areas. I understand what you are saying about passing kids, with this day and age of parents being lawsuit happy, it's tough not to make that generalization...but to say that teachers allow students to harm one another is absurd!!!
