I was terrified by those and had bad dreams as well.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524483430902530428.post-54676330280307827462009-03-03T11:06:00.000-06:002009-03-03T11:06:00.000-06:00When I was growing up in Southern California, we l...When I was growing up in Southern California, we lived in a rather bad area. Our high school had tall fences and barbed wire, a security guard with a RIFLE,and officers in the hallways while we changed classes. One didn't DARE go to the bathroom during the daytime for fear of what would happen if you entered the bathroom. That was my experience with schools growing up. I moved as an adult about 25 miles away, and the schools looked like beautiful campuses all landscaped and everything. I couldn't believe it! Things are most likely safer here than where I grew up, and WHEN I grew up (lots of racial tension)<BR/>but I still hate it that fear is placed in our children's hearts when they just need to be kids.Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524483430902530428.post-62930886290010181302009-03-03T06:10:00.000-06:002009-03-03T06:10:00.000-06:00I absolutely agree with you.

Everyone is scared it will happen to them/they'll get sued/etc. There's a lot of "me too" stuff now and once things are aired, it gives others ideas. It's the price we pay for "progress". i long for simpler days when your kids could play outside all day long and you didn't have to worry about themJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189022289978252039noreply@blogger.com
