Someone REALLY didn’t want to go to school on Friday. Apparently, the student body at Kaneland High School got a day off on Friday because someone deflated one tire on each of District 302’s 40 buses.
 
According to chatter on the Topix message board, citizens are concerned that the tire slashing may be gang-related.
 
Others think that the incident was merely a prank—one that backfired, since students must make up the missed day at the end of the year.
 
It’s hard to tell what’s cause for worry and what isn’t in schools today.
 
Every day there’s new stories about kids getting violent at school. Just look at Angel Facio, 16, who was indicted Friday for aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault. This boy was not only charged with molesting an 8-year-old girl, he was also charged with stabbing his science teacher with a steak knife.
 
So, who’s to say that this prank doesn’t foretell more trouble? What do you think? Do you think Kaneland has cause to worry? Or were kids just being kids?
