Consider a few other incidents, included in a confidential report prepared by the Boston school police for city officials and provided last week to the Globe:
Three Wilson Middle School students were arrested on charges of carrying bullets.
Boston police intercepted a student walking to Brighton High School with a pellet pistol.
A Madison Park High student was seen concealing a 10-inch carving knife before walking through a metal detector.
An English High School student was found carrying a knife.
A student shot another in the back of the head with a BB gun on a school bus.
Here's what's most remarkable: They all happened the same day, Jan. 11. And if anyone thinks Jan. 11 was anything but typical, think again. The day before, there were three episodes involving knives; the day after, another four.

Maybe those parents you wrote about a few months ago (the ones who moved across the country to send their kids to a private school) weren't so crazy after all.
Wow, what an atmosphere to grow up in!!
