Rate 2012 on a Scale of 1-10
2009 was a really bad year for a lot of people, but when it was all done, I had several blessings to count. On the other hand, 2011 was kind of hard and disappointing. It's interesting how we can condense a year into a gut feeling. What's your...

OK for Teachers to Talk About the Shooting?
On Facebook, a Richland parent responded to that story by complaining that their child's teacher had talked to them about the shooting.
