The 15 year old who held students and a teacher hostage at Marinette High school knew that no one would else had a weapon and that he would have full control of the situation. It's time we start letting teachers and students defend themselves. Otherwise they're just sitting ducks, thanks Herbie!

Keep The Kids Fed

Well its rare but I have reversed my position on providing school breakfast to underprivileged children. During my time as Principal for a Day at Madison East High School, I learned that there are kids who are homeless, kids with zero parental supervision, and some students that may only show up for a few days and then disappear. Washington, DC has even come up with an early dinner program to encourage kids to be involved with after school programs that help them academically. It isn't the school's job to feed our children but that doesn't mean it isn't a smart investment and the ethically thing to do.
