I just received an email from my step daughter's sister, who is a teacher in Chardon High School. The school is in lock-down while they investigate today's shooting. Fortunately she and her class locked themselves in their classroom until the police had the situation under control. It was a long sad day for them and the parents. Hug your kids tonight and let them know how much you love them.

Stop bullying, and gangs in school. Have more programs in school where kids can get real help. Every teacher should be trained how to spot kids in trouble. What to look for, listen for. Recognize what you are looking at and hearing. I have pointed out several kids to teachers, they never noticed. Parents need to be more active in their kids lives, and in their children's school. There needs to be more hands on!
Parents need to speak up when they witness something picking up their kids. They see a lot more than you know.

Most teachers knows the gangs and which kids belong to them. There should be zero tolerance for this. When parents are involved there is less gangs and gang activities.
They should educate the parents and themselves. Everyone working together for the good and welfare of the children. The school my son attended, invented and created many of their own programs. The state did get in the way. There are ways around them. There are ways around some of these unless policies. We had a very clever principle, he figured out ways. Sometimes the answer was to get a mom to do it. That wasn't illegal, or against policy.I was there 2 hours 3 days a week, helping. It was a great school. There were no gangs, fights, rude clothing, it was a safe environment. They got the kids to stop wearing the sagging pants by going to school uniforms. They measured the kids themselves and ordered the clothes. They couldn't wear gang colors this way either. There was a waiting list for kids trying to get in this school.Parents were willing to do anything to keep there kids safe.
It was difficult for me, I was a single parent, worked full time and full time student. I managed, I kept him there for 4 years. It was wonderful.
The schools here are giving out belts to keep the boys pants up. That is a good idea, but it's not working. The kids have switch to sweat pants. Worn around their butt. The state demands the kids to learn, but took away the tools to teach them with. It's a battle. You have to fight everyone to educate a child.

If a person is going to kill another, they do not need a gun to do it. Home made explosives brought into school can do the same as a gun.

This is a sad day. Its been happening so much that they have to find a solution soon.Parents have to be afraid, when theire kids go to school. Theire infuence comes from violence on tV, the videogames they play and what the see on some sites on the internet.. They are constanly bombarded with violence. I doubt if anything can be done about that. This sadly is a lost Generation, all in the name of technology.

There seem to be no answers to a problem that we created for our self over time,by letting our kid watch all this TV shit ,killing and homicide stories,and game that encourage them to be heroes,and why if there is a weapon in our home, is it not lock up, so young children don't get there hand on them?So it goes without saying it our own fault.

Children gradually mature into adulthood. The subject of Developmental Psychology enlightens the student and turns their emotional life from a slippery path of a fool into an easy path of confidence and steadiness. Understanding your own mind and the physical/emotional links that make your emotions rage soothes and calms your every step. Why would anyone think the memorization of historical events more important, never met themselves.
