"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Last night K, Noah and I were walking past the school I work at. There was a group of kids, two of whom I had in class. They were hanging out on school property, which they do pretty frequently. After we passed, I heard them shout 3 times "Ms. Gullo, Fuck you!" and then, before we left school property ourselves, they shouted something about "killing that baby."

I can ignore the fuck yous directed at me, because whatever. And I don't necessarily think they would hurt me or my son (after all, they were cowardly enough to wait until my back was turned before they started yelling it). I ignored them and stopped Katie from going back and making a scene. But now I think I should have. I'm calling school police this morning though.

Am irked and upset.

A very healthy reaction, I think. Those students definitely need a lesson in how the words they choose matter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, Kat -- that's really bad.

That's fucked up, Kat. Your students, not your reaction.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Kat, so sorry - that's upsetting. I think calling the school police was a good call. Does that automatically get something official to the principal or in their files? SOmething at least for an official inquiry about a threat against a teacher's family. Kids need to know that what they say is a big deal.

After going to a highschool that was pretty laid back about what students said as long as actions did not follow, I was FLOORED at the hell a student could be put through if reported for hateful or threatening language at my university. All a victim has to know is that making official reports starts a whole system of hearings and reports and on and on. If vistims act like it was serious, it becomes serious.

I liked the AV Club's take on that Holmes movie (before Downey was mentioned):

What would be the latest at night I could play Dance Dance Revolution before my downstairs neighbors have a reasonable complaint? I feel like playing, but it's 9:30.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dana, did you catch today's stage yet?

ugh, kat, those little shits. I agree that calling the school police is the thing to do. I hope they get their lame asses handed to them.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tamara.

Kat, that is insane. I hope they get some serious disciplinary action.
