Like I've always said to other teachers, you can't save them all. There are so many factors to growing up that teachers are only a small part of the equation. It means you have to harden your heart somewhat about it and just do the best you can for those you can help. Ken Albin's last blog post..Wild Kingdom

Absolutely.. I don't think capital punishment deserves any mercy.. After all, no matter what they say or blame someone else for their crime, no one is forced to do anything.. there's always a choice, and quite simply, they took a conscious decision to choose the wrong path!

Oh Michelle, that must suck. I think I remember you writing about this guy before (or someone like him). Some people just can't empathise with others, can't think outside their own heads. They can be really sensitive, but only really to their own feelings. I think it's better if we don't just reflect their violence back at them, but at the same time, I don't think it's a bad thing not to feel sorry for them. He knew what state he was in when he chose to commit cold-blooded murder. Pacian's last blog post..Happy Earth Birthday, Cassini!

What a sickening situation! I would just feel numb. I don't think you're heartless; you're just making choices about who to feel sad about--and I agree with your choices. Margaret's last blog post..Passages
