Fake Guns in School

December 24, 2008

I as I walked into the school yard today, one of my students pointed what I thought was a gun at me, I almost has a heart attack. It turned out that he was just playing with an empty Airsoft gun. Lucky for me. Unfortunately, Airsoft guns in this country don’t have the orange plastic on them that proclaim them fake. All I could do was push the gun forcibly away and try to admonish the student never to point guns at people, ever. I’m sure he didn’t understand me, and there were no co-teachers around to complain too, but back home, the kid would have been expelled for less!
