0 Days Since Last Shooting: Guns, Guns, And More Guns

Hey. In Mrs. Milbrath's hands that 12 inch beige-colored eraser was almost as deadly as a handgun.

Roman Catholic nuns (pre Vatican II) had a course during their novitiate years on throwing the eraser quickly and accurately.
 
Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: Guns, Guns, And More Guns

I once had chalk thrown at me so hard it vaporized on the wall about a foot above my head. There wasn’t a piece larger than a quark left of that thing. I think the eraser followed it a month later.
 
Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: Guns, Guns, And More Guns

My 7th grade math teacher once threw a large foam rock at one of my classmates who was acting up. Best part was his mom gave it to her expressly for that purpose. :D

Shatterproof rulers are not shatterproof. K-8 old school Roman Catholic school here. ;)

And I agree on the MI cop cars. I laughed so hard when I first saw them.

I actually prefer the old-school beacon. That, plus marked cars, make them that much easier to spot in speed traps. :)

For the cars to be ID'd (at least in MN), look at the hubcaps, and the lights in the bottom corners of the rear window. And the bumper guard on the front. Or the general plain-ness of the car (color, no stickers of any kind, basically TRYING to blend in). That's for UC's. Obviously reg cop cars are very identifiable. ;)

Holy sh-t, they must have instructional league for that because exactly the same thing happened to me in CCD. You're not going to believe this but during catechism I was a bit of a smartas-s.

Anyway, that sharp "snap" sound stays with me to this day. There is nothing like it. There's even a faint, high-pitched hum like a bullet.

I know what I'm getting my daughter for her birthday. She just started teaching elementary school.

The one with the diagonal line through the middle and the two sides are slightly different shades? Man, memories.

Possibly. But I went to a public school. :D.

It was in middle school health class and the football coach was teaching.

No higher calling. Some of her students will remember her for the rest of their lives.

Just got a text and a call from my school, Northwestern U, that someone on campus has a gun and to seek shelter

Not a joke, just saw someone repost a Facebook saying kids were being forced to participate by administrators. SMDH
