Back in 2013, second grader Joshua Welch chewed a pastry he brought for breakfast into the shape of a gun, pretending to fire it as young boys are wont to. That would have been the end of it, hadn’t administrators took it upon themselves to investigate this serious matter and conclude that Welch had committed a major offense.

I guess we would all have been in children’s jail … I the summer , I remember being outside all day in the yard…. Playing cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians , tag ( not allowed anymore ) , baseball in the street , hide and seek and many various, harmless things that we used our imagination and got exercise ….
Fun and carefree … Sad those days are gone….
