Ohio Principal was warned about gunman

I'm just wondering what role drugs play in these shootings at schools. The fact that he wasn't supposed to be in school is one reason, but if a person isn't taking any drugs, things like this shouldn't happen, unless... something terribly went wrong with his upbringing and his environment ...and students he mingled with. I believe drugs must play a role in these shootings...I might be wrong...but that is my view! It is not normal for students to go about shooting teachers and other students! And...what is the Government in the USA make out of this! How is it possible that so many people are allowed to have guns! Chess players I'm playing from Cleveland/Ohio say that more and more people get guns to protect themselves...what is going on with society today! Are we living in a mad-mad world! Schools should be safe places!!

Coon, principal Johneita Durant told them she was too busy."I told my friends in the class that he had a gun and stuff," said Smith, 15. "He was talking about doing it last week. I don't know why they didn't say nothing.

Texas

Castlegrande, (nickname) a chess player on the site where I play chess...link somewhere on my blog...lives in Texas. He is really one of the players I do enjoy to play and I think we're playing now for more than a year! He's a great photographer! Since I like photography too...although my pictures are really rubbish comparing to his pictures!....he's always sharing some of his photos with me and it is great to see his "art".....The town where he lives is Carrollton. According to these pictures, from the town's website,it looks pretty much like a Pretoria-suburb. He's a primary school teacher, teacing Science and he says he loves teaching in Texas!! (bubble bubble bubble...)Like all other countries, teachers there are also working pretty hard and paperwork and meetings are just as annoying as somewhere else, but, I guess it is part of school, all the "paperwork", so shall we stop "complaining"....NO!!...The Government is also busy with their "no-child-left-behind"-project in America, while in the UK they have "every-child-matters"! All countries surely want the best for every child, but of course, it can't happen if you do not have parents' support! ....and of course...children willing to achieve!
