[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After that kid got stabbed and died in Noma a few weeks ago you'd think they'd take this more seriously ...[/quote] https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/local-digest-teenager-killed-near-noma-gallaudet-metro-was-stabbed-in-chest-dc-police-say/2018/05/02/c5cf0128-4e45-11e8-84a0-458a1aa9ac0a_story.html?utm_term=.f59d22a5e763[/quote] Tyshon Perry. The story is gutwrenching. The parents think that he was stabbed when he was trying to break up a fight. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/tyshons-dying-a-frantic-call-sent-a-dc-mother-to-her-son-stabbed-in-a-melee-but-it-was-too-late/2018/05/06/1eb30478-4fc3-11e8-af46-b1d6dc0d9bfe_story.html?utm_term=.3531981b78ab http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/family-of-tyshon-perry-looking-for-answers-say-teen-fatally-stabbed-was-trying-to-break-up-fight [/quote] It's a heartbreaking story.[/quote] This is so sad. This is why I would never send my kids to DC public school for middle school or high school. It’s too dangerous. We’ve never had a physical altercation at our school or with any of the students at our school for the 6 years we have been there. Kids get expelled immediately if they’re involved in any sort of physical altercation in or out of school. [/quote] What a stupid thing to write here. What "kind" of school, "public" is really of little importance here. The kids involved in the NoMa stabbing are from a charter school btw. It's a bird brain's reflex to always find a simple generalization. It probably makes you feel better that, thankfully, you have it figured out by avoiding the plague of public school, blissfully ignorant how tenuous our lives are and how much more complex tragedies are. And I pray for you that you will continue to be in luck, not to find your child run over by a car, or arrested on a college campus for smoking weed, or drawn out to see by a rip tide, or taken out by cancer, found with a needle in their arm, or rocked by sexual assault, as - if you read the news - these are all things that happen to very good people who never ever fight in school.[/quote] Well said. Thank you for helping that poster understand that, although they might have bought their way out of avoiding some of the more painful aspects of our society, they cannot buy their way out of all of life’s risks.[/quote]
