Thank goodness there's no violence reported. But the district is adamant: Kids should stay in school and not get it on their record that they're truant.

Well, we have never had a homicide here at school, thank goodness. We have had some of our kids go off campus and gotten killed. We had one of out student that was shot in a drive-by on U.S. 75, but really, we don't see that type of crime.

No. I'd rather not, thank you.

Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

As far as violence goes, school is school. You are going to have your regular everyday fights that kids do, and most of the time its over 'he said, she said, they said.' But we really haven't seen a real increase in violence. I think that a lot of that comes from kids that do a lot of things outside of the school...schools are no more unsafe than they were 10 years ago.

Thank goodness I've saved my money.
