Recently, I wrote a story about a teacher at Wilde Lake Middle School who was robbed at gunpoint in her classroom early one morning. As a crime reporter for the Post, I'm not naive. Still, somehow a holdup seemed almost incomprehensible at the middle school where I learned algebra from a very patient Mr. Longo and cried my eyes out while reading "The Yearling" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.

No Real Balm to Ease the Pain of Redrawing School Boundaries Redrawing boundary lines is among the more painful tasks a school board can undertake. It's so painful that in neighboring Montgomery County, the school board does almost anything it can to avoid the process. For example, when it opened a new high school in 1999, rather than draw new boundaries as Howard County is now doing with Reservoir High opening this fall, Montgomery formed a consortium of four high schools and allowed students to choose one. The county is planning to do something similar when it opens another high school in 2004. More From Howard
