ReplyDeleteI think that this story was kind of silly to me. Why would you leave a gun that has bullets in it in your locker? i think the mother is denial because her son should have not brought the gun to school and he should have not listened to the person who told him to. It can damage the "School Of Choice" system because some parents were thinking about sending their kid there but not after the event that happend on wednesday. I did think the comments were fair especially talking about how the mother is really denial.
ReplyDelete1. What do you think about the story? I think the story is very crazy and just do not have a clear understanding.
ReplyDelete2. Do you think the mother is in denial? Why? I wouldn’t really say she is in denial but she do take a part in this and is responsible for her son actions because he cant handle it and we need an adult in the situation.
ReplyDeleteHow could this event damage the school of choice system? Because people probably wouldn’t send their kid their. The school might have a bad reputation.

tis is very crazy. the mother knew that he had the gun, so why would she tell her son to go to school with a concealed weapon. the mother is trying to give other parents advice. the other parents know what to do with there kids but it seems to me cleary, she don't.

ReplyDeleteI think that the mom should be the one locked up she should not get out cause she is the one who should have been trying to help her son she not have let her son go to school with that and she had to know cause she know about the safety and everything else she have talk to her son about it called the police and try to get him sum help
DO YOU THINK THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT THE STORY ARE FAIR? I THINK THEY ARE NOT BECAUSE OKAY LETS FACE THE FACT EVERYONE MAKE MISTAKES BUT ITS NOT GOOD TO PUT NO ONE DOWN THE MOTHER JUST NEED A LITTLE HELP FOR HER AND HER SON.
