We had a talk today in class about the school shooting in Saskatchewan today.  The main points were that Runnymede is a safe place, that violence is an unacceptable way to deal with problems, and a reminder about pantomime 'gunplay' in the yard and halls.  No one is getting suspended or receiving detentions for that last item, but it is in questionable taste given the reality of modern school life.
