All gods have mercy on all of them..........As a cop's wife, I sure don't have any viable answers. Are we going to have to go to metal detectors, drug sniffing dogs and cops in all our schools? I think we have forced the schools to take over more and more of parental responsibilities, and then "we" whine when our kids don't get an education and the schools don't teach them what their parents should have. I am staying out of the Amadou thread because I wasn't there, did not have all the info so don't think I should make up an un-informed opinion, but I do agree that it seems like cops and teachers can't do anything right anymore.
