We've had two bomb threats within a week of each other in our middle school recently, but our kids have been well trained in 'stranger alerts" (same process for bomb scares) and take them seriously. Both times we were later informed that teachers and administrators were amazed at the speed in which the evacuation took place. Kids up and go, leaving everything behind, walking to the high school nearby. They also installed an automated call system to alert parents just about the time they take place.
In the first case the kid wrote his threat on a bathroom stall with a marker and it took police and teacher staff about an hour to put together hall passes and writing analysis and they nabbed the kid. The other case was called in and they somehow figured that out quickly. They take this stuff very seriously here. I'm not happy with a lot as far as modern schooling goes, but the way they deal with crime in our schools I'm really proud of.

One of my new students (it was his third day yesterday) got jumped by three other students on his way home yesterday. They stabbed him in the back. I know he made it to the hospital, but I haven't heard anything more. I coach the basketball team too. We play other alternative schools in the area. Our games are during the school day and are an incentive for students that are maintaining level in our behavior modification system. Anyway, this kid had dropped 20 points and grabbed around 15 boards. The last time I saw him he was walking out of school with a big smile on his face. I hope he's OK. I'm pretty sure it was gang thing. The Latin Kings and La Familia are feuding pretty bad in Holyoke these days.

Just an update. The kid is OK and coming back to school tomorrow. I guess they missed his kidney by a few centimeters. No arrests yet though.  |
