Granted, this is not normal behavior for the average Canadian student, (my mother specializes in teaching 'disturbed' children and teens), but then I dont think that it is standard behavior in the US either. Violence in schools in the Toronto area is definitely on the rise, though.... laura creighton decvax!utzoo!laura
