You were right in mentioning it.<br />It's sad that things have to be that way. I remember us never locking the doors at our house growing up. Things have really changed. Sounds like a lovely Christmas Eve.

He's been providing us with valuable ideas. Our high school and middle schools have full time SROs but we don't in elementary schools. After having one this week, I'm all for having one full time. I felt so much better. My lab is wide open- we're sitting ducks in there so he came up with a great plan for when I have kids in there. Shame we have to think about things like this. He also informed us that the police department got wind that the press was going to go around and test some of the schools in the area. Really? Those jerks will do anything for a story.

They complained that they were "locked in" and somehow couldn't grasp the fact that they were not locked in but that others were locked out unless they went to the front door and rang the bell. It's hard to get that concept across even to older student.<br /><br />As for Christmas Eve, the five of us in our convent have a tradition of going out to lunch together--something we usually don't have time to do. Then in the evening we go to Mass at the motherhouse and stay for refreshments.
