Yikes.

What gets me is the part about one of the kids randomly throwing coke at  the NO ones.

What is it with some people? It's like the stories you hear about kids dying of leukemia or AIDS being teased. Is disaster funny? And how do these kids live with themselves later in life?

It just bugs me.  (Granted, this was also the topic that inspired a fic I wrote months ago).

The students are from different regions and social and political areas. The people who were evacuated from New Orleans like that were from some of the poorer areas. Texas... is different than New Orleans. Where do you live? I spent two years in a high school in the south and there were fights every week about the stupidest reasons, okay not even for ANY reasons. And kids that come from any type of struggling community, be it in a NYC ghetto-ish area (been there) or a swamp new orleans have their own way of acting that is very different than other areas. Seriously. The Texas kids are probably not used to those types of kids. There could have been some issues before the throwing of the coke can that aggrivated the problem, or the kids in question could just be the type that are loose. There are kids like that in every school system. I don't think that the throwing of the coke can was random at all. No way. It was either an accident, or done purposefully. Grudges. Resentment. Dislike.
