Thankfully, we've never had anything like that here in Montreal (knock on wood) and I hope we never do. I like to think that I would do the same you as did in that situation because, you're right, giving in to the fear gives them exactly what they want.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202212892774623935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-83050458625548690342014-04-24T13:50:34.710-05:002014-04-24T13:50:34.710-05:00A scary choice for the letter, but spot on.

The whole school was herded into the sports hall where we had to stay cooped up together until it was either home time or all the necessary checks had been made. Looking back, I remember these times as a bit boring, a bit of a laugh; we were all in no doubt that it was a prank and rumours flew about who had made the call. Thinking about it now I am older, and given events like that have happened since then, I wonder how the teachers felt, how our parents must have felt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
