The fetal alcohol syndrome comment you made inspired me to check out exactly what that looks like. And darn, if I didn’t find a picture that looks like it could be that boy’s baby picture: https://s3.amazonaws.com/classconnection/863/flashcards/5235863/jpg/kabuki_(4)-14BEBBAF3C720EC705C.jpg

I would post it but still learning how to do that there.

P.S. I found it searching BING for Fetal Alcohol syndrome characteristics. I know it has a strange link (amazon...etc). But that is where it was and everything matched.

16 year old kids demanding the vote but do not consider themselves mature enough to own firearms till 21. So why should we listen to these brats.

More kids will be killed by cars this year walking to and from school than will be shot.

Suggestion; copy this retired teacher's letter, paste it into an email and sent it to any and every teacher and/or parent with children in school you know...

It's worth your effort to get this done before March 14th, even it only has an impact on one or some of those you email it to.

My aunts are teachers and they told me that they aren’t excused if they go to the march.

Yes, I would have given a test that day. No make up. 90% of the six weeks grade.

One would have thought he’d have grown his hair out to cover the big ears.

I always let them come to my room during lunch so they’d have someone to talk to. Eventually, even the popular kids would come in for lunch.

Funny you mention that. While I was looking for a picture of him, I saw this, taken when he was younger it seems. The hairdo helps.

I suggested in a comment to a story on a local HS walkout the following points. Juveniles still have a brain developing reasoning capabilities, so they ill-consider long term effects of their decision. So, which would be safer? A walk-out that is mostly an emotional expression of unfounded fear, or a gun safety program after school? The gun safety compliments a program of (possible) armed teachers by providing possible backups to an armed teacher who is injured or killed; it provides a sense of community of protectors; and empowerment of conquering the ‘fear’ of living among an armed population. These are apparently values no longer taught to our kids. It also teaches the kids to face their fears instead of looking for the nearest ‘safe place’, aka shooting gallery, to join similarly-demented snow flakes.

Same with the Sandy Hook killer - whose insane mother gave him guns.

I believe he killed his mother and took her guns. I don't think she gave them to him.

She took her mentally ill son (whose father had not bothered with him in ages) to the shooting range. I doubt she had those guns under lock and key.
