They were playing with them in a classroom! Another student was shot in the back--fun fun--and then they or others n this blog will be complaining that these kids aren't getting a fair shot of education when they are lacking in middle school and high school. Let's blame the teachers for their shortcomings when the test scores are low! Because these kids came to school to "work and learn" as the promise pledge says-- right!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49258804305307213.post-13929908800656067462014-11-26T19:47:29.626-05:002014-11-26T19:47:29.626-05:00The pellet gun used is no toy!

I know it is all relative, but the problems at Minadeo seem small compared to U Prep, yet they were well represented. The squeaky wheel gets the grease though, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
