"A special-education teacher who had a passion for music was fatally stabbed Wednesday morning in a Texas high school classroom, and police took a 16-year-old student into custody.

I don't want to sensationalize. It is sad when anyone dies, when anyone is killed.
For some reason I am particularly affected when a teacher is killed. It seems that the student was not in control of his own behaviors--I don't mean in the way a lot of our students are "out of control." I mean in the sense that he may have been psychiatric, so I'm sure his life is now ruined, in some ways.
For some reason, I'm not in a mood to lay blame, to scold, to pout, to rant, perhaps because it feels disrespectful.
