FB, there are no guarantees. I saw the interview with father of friend of shooter- he had spoken to him of it the night before, because some of the kids were talking about him talking about it- he was asked about it, but how much more can you intervene directly? When I was teaching at MSU in 89, a student that had been in one of my frosh speech sections the quarter before was harassed in much the same way as this student was, took a shotgun and killed the 2 boys who had been torturing him right in their dorm room. No talk about doing it, or anything else, either. How do you keep kids from instinctively picking viciously on those they see as different or weak? You know that is a result of their upbringing, and teachers can only intervene so far. I have no answers, I guess, only questions, sigh...

When given a choice, take both.
