A memory, circa 1980 (approximately)

[zbdent]

In my junior year, I was going to a vo-tech school affiliated with (but not near) my regular "alma mater" high school.

I ended up having a day off from the vo-tech school while the regular school didn't have the day off.

I walked in the front door of the school, walked by the principal's office (I had had him as a teacher in a previous grade), and waved.

He came running out and made sure he found out what my business was at the school, since I wasn't actually attending there.

I had to have a particular destination in the school, and leave once my "business" was done.

Ah, the days of innocence.

(BTW, I had a co-worker a few years back who told me the story of how he carried his rifle to school because they had a shooting team at the school ... go figure ... back before MY time ... he was a Vietnam Vet ...)

1. The days of innocence

The staff at my (future) high school, a few years before I was old enough to attend, also thought nothing was amiss when a student arrived with her rifle. After all, she was known to be a fine young markswoman, and a member of a target-shooting team.

They realized their miscalculation only after she had shot and killed one of her teachers.

2. Why are we still doing this in our schools?

Dancing guns makes about as much sense as dancing horses
