[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barf.  "Teens today" are also the ones responsible for a lot of these shootings--  not sure we want "the future of our nation" in the shooters' "great hands."

If they wanted to do something moving..... organize a trash pick up.  Organize a campaign to write to lawmakers.  Stage a peaceful "walk in" at a gun show ON A WEEKEND.[/quote]
here's a fine line between supporting and endorsing. They crossed it.

I have spent 26 years raising children. I have always gone out of my way to make sure my kids don't miss any school. It's been hammered into our brains how every day/hour/minute of classroom instruction time is extremely important. Then they cave in to this and lose all credibility with me.

Suddenly, my Disney trip when the airline rates are low doesn't sound like such a bad idea after all.[/quote]

That's why we are ok going to Disney during the school year.  That principal just sent a mixed message.  So, now what.  Kids will find something new to protest every week.  They could have done it on the weekend just as well.

The same kids are the same ones bullying other kids, ignoring them, being mean, etc. who lead kids to depression and desperate measures.  Gun laws help but this is a parenting and school issue (with schools providing better mental health, checking in with students - when I was at a large high school I doubt anyone knew I existed as I was not a stand out student - I even skipped class not feeling well when I could not get my parents and no one cared or said anything).[/quote]
