[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, my kids go to public school, but I would think privates would be safer-- teachers know everyone and it's kind of hard to be a total weirdo and get in. The types doing these shootings don't seem like the type that would be in the pool at Sidwell.[/quote]

Give it a rest with Sidwell. Do you not believe people/kids change? You get admitted to Sidwell at 4-5. For all we know he was a really normal little kid. He and his bro are adopted, stay home mom who doted on them. He’d likely be normal enough to get into any private at that age. Then at 7-8 his dad dies — maybe that’s when he turned into a really mean troublemaker. You’re kidding yourself if you think Sidwell and the like are kicking out an elementary schooler after that kind of family trauma. They’d let him stay in the corner for the next 10 yrs to be “compassionate.” And without anyone putting it altogether he becomes meaner, picks up a weapon fetish and hooks up with a militia. [b]The expensiveness of your school or your home isn’t the antidote here[/b]. Home schooling is but what will the kids do for college and what if they can’t land work from home jobs?[/quote]

Private schools might be quicker to kick a kid out, but the shooter in Florida was a former student.  So even if they kick him out, he comes back for revenge.  Private school is not magic.  There are plenty of troubled kids in private schools.  [/quote]
