The day ...Change has been needed since Columnbine! The day before the first school shooting my son was threatened, by a student in his class and told if he didn't bring a ball to school he would be stabbed at recess. He was 10 yrs old in 5th grade. This year he will turn 30. My son’s teacher dismissed the threat, because the child who made the threat was from a good family. We were new to the area and he didn’t know us. So, I said-isn’t it your job to tell me you watch my son, this other child-not imply my son is a liar. Yes, I want to recess and stayed thru the whole thing. The parent teacher conference was as you imagine-this teacher would not look me in the eye-I didn’t need to go to the meeting-my son had good grades, I went to remind the teacher no threat should ever be dismissed! Change should have happened 20 years ago. Let’s hope change is coming before any more lives are taken. <br />Thank you, Sherry for sharing this, for making us aware of Emma's speech and this poem!!
