“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Scary

On Monday, one of the 1nenseis that I actually like came into the staffroom with this massive bleeding gash on the side of his head.

When the teachers asked him what happened, he said that another kid (one of the devil children) had THROWN A KNIFE at him. When the teachers spoke to the other kid, he said he had just been playing around and hadn't meant to hurt him.

PLAYING AROUND BY THROWING A KNIFE?!?!?!

The worst thing is, that was the end of it. The little shit that did it wasn't punished in any way - wasn't even verbally disciplined about how dangerous that could've been. My JTE said that the whole thing and the way that it was dealt with scared her. I couldn't believe it. How could they just let this go?! Back home the police probably would've gotten involved - things like that are taken so seriously, I'm shocked that over here they just allowed it.

It's completely unacceptable.

And really, really scary.

:-S
