The educators are supposed to be the enlightened ones. So why are they so ill-informed?
Parents at Mr. Boy’s elementary school have been advised to "take extra precautions" after four teens robbed a couple in their apartment last night across from the local high school.
The high school’s written alert, passed on to us by the elementary school’s PTA, locked down the high school’s campus for the day. It says the armed robbers were men. The police told the news media they were in their late teens. The alert makes it sound like the robbery was a random act of violence. The police say the victims knew their assailants.
The PTA prefaces email distribution of the high school’s alert this way:
"Please take extra precautions. Keep doors locked at all times, keep an eye on your children when they are playing outside, note and report all suspicious persons or activities."
This would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
