Asking a teacher to shoot a kid, even a kid who is shooting others, is asking too much in my book. And I say that as someone pretty firmly opposed to gun control. We need to stop shoehorning kids into high schools that assume that kids are either college-bound, or losers destined for welfare (if they even graduate). There is nothing worse for a kids' self esteem than forcing him to participate in something that he's systematically excluded from. At my high school, if you were not college bound, you got no attention from career or guidance counselors, and were pretty much written off unless you were gifted athletically.
