I was even impressed that she gave us a little nod toward his future. I taught in high schools for 12 years, and really think we need to work on the system, since that is where the violence is occurring.

I think they edited out the people who knew a title. I mean, come on, one book. 😛<br /><br />We had a mass shooting in my city about ten years ago and at one point they thought there were two shooters and one had gone around the corner to my son's high school. He didn't have a phone on him because they weren't allowed to have them in IB and AP classes, so he always left his in his locker. I sat in horror for two hours before he borrowed a phone and called me to tell me he was fine. Now every time I hear there has been another shooting I get that same hollowed out sick feeling. I think these Senators who take NRA money should have to view the photos of the victims.

It's a cultural problem with our kids, and the school structure needs to be evaluated as well. Me and a bunch of other people got The Proposal by accident, but hey, it's a happy accident for me.

This isn't anything anyone should get to used to, this isn't something that should happen period.
