(New Jersey - WABC, September 20, 2007) - Some 12,000 students in New Jersey will be kept from class today. That's because a bomb threat sent to the mayor of Emerson touched off a wave of school closings in nearly a dozen towns.

Last year when I was in 9th grade we had something like 3-5 bomb scares in 1 year. The last one we didn't even evacuate the school they just had the police etc. near by at the supposed time it was going to go off.

Honestly, I'm not surprised. I went to the NYC public schools up until grade 8, and that kind of behavior really isn't that unusual.

 

For example, when I was in grade 5 at I. S. 216, several of the kids in my class (10 years old, they were) left the building at lunchtime and set fire to a vacant building down on Prospect.

 

I'm not impressed.
