[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if the true story has come out but, according to my sons guidance counselor...the student with the gun showed it to another student.  That student (a girl) sent a text to the teacher during class and told him.  The teacher texted the dean of students and kept on teaching.  The student with the gun kept asking to use the bathroom and the teacher said no and kept him contained and calm.   The Dean and the Principal came into the classroom and called the student out.  Once they had him out of the room the Principal went in and got the backpack with the gun.  The student was handed over to the police and was arrested.

In my opinion, the real heroes here are the student who notified her teacher and of course the brilliant teacher who held it together and didn't miss a beat.  We should be celebrating them.

As a new parent of Wilson, I have to say that I am terrified by the whole awful situation but, I do believe that the administration handling the situation well.  I was impressed by the email that came out 45 mins after the incident.  Every time I enter Wilson, I have to go through the metal detectors and show my id.  I also, wear a visitor pass.

I am not saying that Wilson does not have problems...they do.  My son reports daily fights in the cafeteria and in the halls.  Also, we are all aware of the stealing that is going on a CVS.  To me the real problem is a small group of kids that are just being bad and acting like idiots giving the school a bad rep.  I believe that for the safety of all of our kids the administration needs to get a grip on this group of kids that are causing trouble.  If they are bringing in weapons, fighting or stealing from local store they need to be dealt with in a firm manner including alternate schooling choices and if out of bounds being sent back to their neighborhood school.

This is just my opinion as a parent and BTW I don't care what color anyone is.  If you act bad,break rules and jeopardize the safety of others you need to face the consequences.

Daily fights? Stealing at CVS?  This is not good. Where is Mary Cheh? Where is Kaya? Where are the police? It is a matter of time until a bystander gets hurt. Oh wait, that happened this summer on metro.  Let me just say it's a matter of time til a child gets hurt. Perhaps irreparably.[/quote]
