Safety seems an afterthough here. Yes, the student is being handled by the “weapons policy,” but what about preventive policies? There are none! This isn’t a first-time occurrence in Rappahannock Schools; for several years this has been a growing problem. Are the consequences enough to make others fearful of repeating these actions? I’m beginning to think Singapore has the right idea; at least they have a lower crime rate.
When weapons can make it from the home to the school bus, to the classroom there is plenty of room for danger to occur. All you have to do is pick up a newspaper to be assured that injury and even death occur when children have access to guns and otljer weapons. Who would be the first possible statistic? My child? Yours? Your grandchild? A teacher? An administrator? A bus driver? A brother or sister? Mother or father? An innocent visitor?
What if another child picks up this gun that looks exactly like a toy in their minds? There is no safety in this situation for anyone!
Where is the solution? Our society’s morals on a whole are going...going...almost gone. Where are the morals that some parents try so hard to instill in our children? What kind of social skills does this type of behavior instill in their peers?
I don’t know what the solutions are, but what is taught and lived at home definitely has spme bearing on the long hard road of life ahead of todays children.
“Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their lives.” (Prov. 22:6) What a challenge for today’s society. It’s an interesting fact that ex-communist Russia, now invites missionaries into their schools for the long-term benefit to their country.
