What is going on in our public schools?

On the second of May, just one day after Poway High’s shooting scare, Ramona High School had to lock down three of their local schools. Apparently a 16-year-old brought a pellet gun on the bus. An administration assistant said that with the two situations so close together that "this made some of the teachers jumpy."

Rancho Bernardo High School received a threat on May 1st. The threat was on the wall in a boys bathroom written in lip-stick. "School shooting 2 marrow," according to The San Diego Union Tribune May 2. Also in the San Diego Union Tribune, Principle Paul Robinson talked about the attendance drop for the day the threat was to be carried out. Robinson said in the article that "some of the classrooms were missing up to a third of their students, while others were at full capacity.
