Par for the Course
Lockdown for three hours today. Turns out, a student had a gun. The weird thing is, it didn't even phase me. Of course someone would have a gun, despite the metal detectors. Of course, he would slip it into a girl's purse. Of course, we'd be in lockdown with the same students for 3 hours today while the police and administration went from room to room searching for it. Of course, the students would be arrested and led off campus in handcuffs.
And of course, I'd let my students jump rope during the last half hour of lockdown. Double Dutch. They were really amazing.

Holy cow is your job crazy! You didn't worry that it was one of your students that had it? Or did they already know who had it?

No, I actually had no idea at the time why we were on lockdown. I didn't find out about the gun until afterward. It really is a crazy school.

Wowzers. What next? I mean the hurricanes and now guns in school. Man, your blog makes me stand on edge. You are incredible. I love that you continually keep a positive attitude. I would have freaked out.
...oh and did Kylie tell you that we went to North Hampton. Gorgeous!!! You were lucky to live there. Springfield isn't nearly as nice.
