A fourteen year old boy shot two students and two teachers in Cleveland High School. The thing I do not understand is why such a young person already has so much hatred. In The New York Times article it said, that Coon got a suspension that week and the two teachers that he shot could have been involved in his suspension. One of the students witnessed Coon screaming “Shut up, Shut up; I hate this school” this phrase does express a lot of hate and especially toward the school. At the end, the student killed himself after injuring four people.
This article also touches the issue of security. Only if the metal detector was working, none of the injuries to the students and teachers would happen. In the article, this school was described as one of the best. Students and parents are to pass an interview to get into this school.Mr. Charney, a teacher at Cleveland High School said, “I taught for 32 years, and this was calmest school I ever taught in.”The article points out those students were well behaved and there was security, but still such a tragedy has happened. What would you predict will happen to this school in terms of security? In my opinion after the shooting, parents will demand more security and working metal detectors.
