[QUOTE="DDD, post: 406143, member: 35"] Bless easy child's. You have every right to feel proud of her and yourself. on the other hand I'd love to see statistics that show how many little boys with prized pocket knives at home make the mistake of taking them to school without evil motives. Personally I've heard of quite a few....and many were not difficult child's, just little boys who forgot to analyze that school is not the same as your neighborhood abd wore the same jeans two days in a row. We are in a rural community where young boys own lots of knives, guns, bow and arrows etc. We also are in zero tolerance land. The most popular teacher at the local middle school gained the greatest respect of the young teens when a truly "good" farm boy realized that he had his little knife in his jeans pocket. He went to this one teacher as soon as he got off the bus and spoke to him privately. The teacher took the knife and locked it in his desk and then had the parent come pick it up at the end of the day. I've often wondered if that teacher would have been axed due to his decision. on the other hand, the boy never before or after made a mistake...graduated with honors. If he had gone to the Dean the police would have been called and he would have been ousted. DDD [/QUOTE]
