All forms of centralization comes with inherent risks:
A man armed with a knife went on a slashing and stabbing rampage in a kindergarten in southern China this morning, injuring 28 children, two teachers and a caretaker. It was the second such attack in two days on a school in China, and the third in a month…. One expert attributed the string of attacks on schoolchildren to increasing social problems in recent years. He said the choice of schoolchildren as targets could be a form of copycat phenomenon.
Fortunately nothing like that would never happen in your child’s school. Because, after all, crazy people live only in China. And, of course, all those wonderful and caring teachers will surely keep them safe… or perhaps not:
Just yesterday, a teacher on sick leave due to mental illness broke into a primary school in Guangdong province’s Leizhou city in southern China and wounded 15 students and a teacher in a knife attack.
