School Arson: Do you really care?

[Player]

Why is it that whenever a school classroom is burnt down, the media can always find a student that is upset at "their" loss.

Without fault they always have the same line about being upset at losing a half years worth of textbooks and schoolwork.

I not advocating arson, but as long as nobody is hurt, and they catch the culprit, losing schoolwork wouldn't be my biggest concern.

Personally I "survived" two arson attacks (Science Block and the Cricket Pavilion) but honestly I never cared.

In fact, I thought my school was much better after each reconstruction.

I was absolutely devastated when my old primary school burnt down just after I left it. Everyone in the community was. Mind you, it was a 100 year old building that was supposed to be turned into a museum a year or two later, so that might have added to it. I also wasn't a student there at the time, but my sister was and she cried as much as I did. I guess I had an attachment to the place.

Throughout Primary school my biggest fear of arson at the school was the risk of losing all the games of dice cricket and dice footy I'd accumulated in my tub thorughout the year.

Thorughout Secondary school I couldn't give a stuff about the school burning down.

Why is there so much pain and suffering in the world?

There are millions living in poverty, millions more are needlessly fighting in wars, and not only that, my parents died too.

I tried to burn the place down when I was there so I sure as hell don't care.

It was all the more concerning in grade 5 and 6, because I found some new die, ones that went from 0-9, one that went from 1-20 and even one with cricket modes of dismissal on it! Made dice games much more realsitic and fun, and you could get a footy score higher than 24.24.168.
