[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 37212, member: 805"] easy child left early from school yesterday because she has a really bad cold. One of her friends calls after school to let her know that there was a bomb threat called into the school for Friday. And, as if that were not scary enough, a junior came to school yesterday with Cho's name (the Va Tech gunman) printed on the front of his t-shirt and "america's hero" on the back. He was suspended for the rest of the week. Two of the local tv stations aired pictures of the t-shirt the police confiscated. So today, while in geometry, another bomb threat on the bathroom wall - sheriffs with cameras, all kids to stay in classroom. An announcement at the end of the day that each student would be given a letter to take home, then the letter was read to the kids over the pa system. The basic gist of the letter was that the principal wanted to assure parents that because of the student sent home yesterday, she felt the rumors about bomb threats and killings insued. There would be increased presence from the county's finest all day. easy child remains adament about not going. Non of her friends are going either. She says she's freaked out since there are threats, it's the anniversity of Columbine and Hitler's birthday. I feel two ways. The absolute desire to keep my daughter safe and the absolute knowledge that the principal would close the school if she felt any of the kids were in danger. She really can't afford to miss any more school (however I would fight with the school stating that in cases where your child feels threatened and so many students were kept home, excuses should be excused and not count). What would you do? Sharon [/QUOTE]
