Silliness. Talk about over reacting.

As a student of Cranston East, I don't think it is silliness becuase if you were to be there, you'd be afraid too. And the chaos that was going on due to this, first of all it took school officals 2 hours to warn the students, knowing that it was a danger, regardless of how much of the mercury spilled. I think that it was not well prepared and not well done b/c many of the students were frighten seeing all those cops and not having any idea what'z going on. I think there is a lack of communication on the part of the school administration and the students becuase we are the ones in harm and we should be the first to know.

I.M., How much harm do you think a silver dollar of mercury in a storage closet can do to you if you aren't in direct contact with it? And your spelling and grammar is a testament to the lack of education my tax money is paying for.

Greg, I think everyone that reads this blog is sick and tired of hearing your crying and whining about your tax money. If you don't like things here I have a great idea for you....MOVE. You're precious tax dollars are going to your boyfriend Bush's provate little Iraq war anyways.

Well, yesterday was pretty hectic. There were several rumors going around. Some people didnt even get to eat lunch, including everyone that had last lunch, but that is this least of our worries. I was confined in the auditorium, in the lower area of seats, which was located near where the mercury spilled. There were no windows, (as an announcement was made to keep all windows open), and the doors were cracked open; however, they had not led to outside, where the air can circulate. I was terrified, as were people that were sitting next to me. Some even cried. Being confined in rooms for over an hour and a half solved nothing, and if there was ever to be something bad that occured again, I think it would be better to have everyone stand outside for that amount of time. Staying inside of the school did nothing. Evacuating in a calm manner would have been more efficient, and safer. I just hope we get back to school soon, so we dont cut into summer break, or miss out on our education.

I get crazy when I hear about these types of things~no wonder these kids go out and shoot up a school. Someone should have had the fortitude to say, "get back in class you idiots, there's more mercury in your tuna sandwich which is being served in the cafeteria."
Who are the nitwits here? In my day you'd clean it up yourself and not even mention it. It's high time we get back to the old ways of doing things~ after all, I certainly didn't suffer from having it just a little bit more difficult. Silliness? The whole thing makes me laugh! These kids live in a bubble. Harmed? Society for letting these children think that they are capable of handling anything, let alone the future!
