My main reactions were that, yes, it is a "double-edged sword" situation,
and that the anonymous posting idea is a good one.

10/14/2004 12:55 [StPaul] Harding High Incident
PM
Kinda surprised with all the discussion about education that no one
has voiced any opinion in how the School System handled the incident
with the student on Friday.
From what I read, sounds like it was handled smartly first by the
people who found the planner, then by the school, the police, and
even up to the super holding a press conference.
It does disturb me that there are kids, even in our heavenly city of
Saint Paul, that actually are this disturbed, and only by accident
was it discovered prior to anything was carried out.
Is there anything more the schools can or should do to help discover
these people sooner? I am not sure we can.
Are we doing the best we can given the random nature of this sort of
thing? It seems given this particular incident that we are, but it
does seem like it was an accident that it was discovered in advance.
I would also hate to see metal detectors and police roaming the
schools as well (if we could even afford such security measures).
Any discussion on safety in the schools for kids?
