8 and Counting

I got a hand-delivered note this morning informing me that two students from my school were shot and killed last night. They were not my students, but I suspect that a couple of mine knew them. At least one student was very subdued, although he refused my attempts to engage him. I let him be. I think that's eight so far this year.

The only thing that was good about this incident is the way administration handled it. The last time there was craziness, I didn't get an email until the end of the day. I greatly appreciated that administration told me up front what was going on.
