4th grader suspended

A 10-year-old boy brought a toy gun to school, which created a police response last week, some wondering if this punishment fits the crime. 25 years ago this would have never been such a bad thing but times have changed and its so sad that a fourth grader can no longer go to school because an innocent act of bringing a toy weapon to school. No decision has been made yet, but Blacken says he is hoping the prosecutor will require the 4th grader to receive counseling. I really wonder if the child meant any harm at all when he made this decision. when the fourth grader said he "needed this for protection" im sure he was saying that out of repetition, probably from a television show or overheard from upper classmen, i truly think this child just needs help, not a punishment

california bus crash

11 middle school students and the driver was injuried after a bus crash in southern california, three of the injuried, two students and the driver are in critical condition and the other nine had minor injuries. the bus ended up tilted sideways and leaning against a tree. police say there was no other cars involved in the crash. There is no immediate word on the cause. This is absolutely insane, how does this happen when nobody else was involved? this is why schools should really take into consideration who they hire as a driver, and school buses really arent that safe if that many people were hurt. Thats why when i am a parent i will be very afraid to send my kids on the bus, too many things like this happen.. i really hope they find the cause soon and they get to the bottom of what really happened. hopefully everyone is okay including the driver, maybe it wasnt all their fault
