#1There was a bomb threat
Posted: 4/19/07 at 10:29pmAt my school today. Some-one e-mailed our newspaper, And then the newspaper contacted out school. We were in the middle of TAKS testing and had to evacuate the building. We may end up having to retake the TAKS now.

1) That sucks.
2) Love your sig.
3) To everyone else: TAKS is Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills. Standardized state-wide testing. It sucks, yeah. The exit-level test is for Juniors though, so being a Senior, I didn't go to school! Yay!

Posted: 4/19/07 at 10:52pmThere was a bomb threat at a near-by community college here. Turns out the police over-reacted to a message board post and aren't going to press any charges.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 4/19/07 at 11:05pmI know it is tomorrow too. But we may have to do it again. Since everyone could have cheated when we were outside. I hate TAKS it is a waste of time and effort.

Posted: 4/19/07 at 11:08pmI KNOW IT IS STUPID. We should make an anti-taks thread. Our seniors had movie day today. While I had to spend 4 hours taking a test that takes 30 min.

Someone had a pipebomb in their locker at my highschool during my freshmen year.
There was also a bomb threat at the high school near mine today as well.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 12:14amWe get at least 3 a week at my university. They take it lightly because every single one of them has been a hoax. Besides, who wants to be evacuated from their class every waking hour when your paying $1000 AUD per subject?

same thing happened at the high school near my house the day after someone tried to shoot up the school in february... they got caught beacuse they made a youtube video about it before the planned to do it. which made sence, because we all know teachers and school employees do not know who to use the internet or own computers *rolls eyes*
the next day someone brought a loaded pellet gun.
schools are ****in crazy.

There were bomb threats at several schools yesterday in my hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, as well. Many students were pulled out of class.
I still blame the U.S. media for this. It's unconscionable. They are stupidly giving a voice and face to current and now potential "postals," only to attract more viewers and get people to tune into their next broadcast. And it's actually encouraging other potential "postals" to do the same thing so they'll be "famous" and "heard" as well.
Do yourselves a favor. Turn off the U.S. news. Boycott it until they stop the circus. They will only respond to ratings, and as long as their numbers go up when they "report" something like this, there will be no change in how they "celebrate" these tragedies.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 11:45amShortly after the Columbine shooting, a message was written on the stall of a girls' bathroom at my high school-- "Bobms at 3:00." Of course, we were all cleared out of the school that afternoon. But it became a running joke between my friends and I that hopefully someone who knew how to build a bomb would know how to spell it.

There was a bomb scare at my school this year. A note was found in the stairwell. My entire school (2 grades, 1400 kids) had buses bring us across the street to a grades 4-6 school. We sat there for 2 hours on a full bus. Also, it was during some lunch periods so some parts of the school went into the school we were at to eat. We weren't allowed back into the building so they got us on our buses and sent us home. No homework! The kid was caught and I heard he was sent to juvie.
I had another one last year. It was 2nd to last period and they evacuated the school. We stood in the parking lot for a bomb threat written on a bathroom toilet stall. I was stuck with the worst class too!
In 6th grade, there was another bomb scare in the girl's bathroom. We had a meeting and the k9 unit came in like the other 2 I mentioned.
