This sort of thing was unheard of when I went to high school (72-75) - are kids so radically different now?

I don't get it either. Guess I'm in denial -- I wrote that I was in school in the 80s, but that's only slightly true! I graduate in 1980. I went to high school at Lyman, only a mile or so away from Milwee, from 1976-1980. I remember once someone had a knife on the bus, and it caused a big ruckus. I'm sure there were fist fights and arguments, maybe even threats of violence. Bomb threats always seemed to happen around finals time. I think events like Columbine have forced authorities to take threats much more seriously.
