OK people/parents, what's wrong with our kids making bomb threats or any kind of threat? What have we been teaching them? What happened to "spare the rod, spoil the child"? My mom taught me to respect everybody, even your enemy. Until now I didn't know why. Schools are a place for us to learn, to make friends, to grow, to nourish our brains. If I remember right, about 15 to 17 years ago the government stepped in and said "corporal punishment" at home was not to be done. Look what happens now - kids out of hand in all kinds of ways.
Well let me share something with the rest of the world. If I even told my mom "No" or did something wrong, she didn't waste time with "time out" or some stupid talk of how I should behave, she simply got a belt and used it while she talked to me running around in circles. Yeah I thought I had the meanest mother in the world, but I learned not to talk back and definitely learned to make the decision of right and wrong.
So now moms and dads, what are you going to teach your kids? Make threats and get away with it or will you do as my mom did, and teach our children to think about right and wrong?
My kids ain't perfect and make their mistakes, we all do. But to threaten a place of learning it's just not right.
