1. Introduction
Once a child or young person becomes involved in the Criminal Justice System they begin to accrue a criminal record and will be subject to the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA).
It is worth noting that offences of assault against or between children are exempt from the ROA and must be disclosed on a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) application. This will always have to be declared subsequently and can result in the child or young person being unable to embark on courses or take up work with children or other vulnerable groups.
See Section 6, The Restorative Process.
2. Behaviours Placing a Child at Risk of Offending
It is important to consider the factors which are known to contribute to a risk of offending or anti-social behaviour in a particular child and what actions or interventions might build resilience and thus reduce that risk.
Work on identifying risk factors is based on an understanding that offending is often just one aspect of antisocial activity which begins in childhood and often persists into adulthood. Only a limited understanding exists, however, about the relationship between risk and protective factors and later offending and antisocial behaviour.
The existence per se of one or more risk factors in a child's life is not a good predictor of outcomes and children vary in terms of how they respond to risk. Risk factors are context dependent and vary over time and with different circumstances. Where multiple risk factors exist, there is increased likelihood of poor outcomes for children. The best predictors of offending differ according to age group. For children aged between 6-11years, committing an offence appears to be the best predictor of future delinquent behaviour; the strongest predictors for children aged 12-14 years are a lack of social ties and associations with antisocial peers.
Risk and protective factors fluctuate over time. Minor changes in either, can have important ripple effects on other factors and thereby substantially change the likelihood of a young person becoming involved in offending or antisocial behaviour.
Protective factors can help children and young people ameliorate risk. They consist of internal assets and external strengths. The more protective factors there are, the greater the likelihood that a child will be resilient to risk. There are four broad types of protective processes, those which:
- Reduce the impact of, or exposure to risk;
- Reduce chain reactions to negative experience;
- Promote self esteem and achievement;
- Provide positive relationships and new opportunities.
When risk factors in a child's life are not amenable to change, interventions can work to provide compensatory experiences or to enhance protective factors in one or more of the relevant domains of a child's life: the community; school; family or within the individual child. Many of the protective factors identified by research relate to the consistency and quality of care and support during childhood.
The majority of children with identifiable risk factors do not engage in crime or antisocial behaviour. Despite challenging circumstances, children can develop resilience depending on the complex interplay between risk and protective factors. There are three primary ways in which children can display resilience:
- By achieving positive outcomes even though they are at high risk;
- By adapting successfully to stressful situations;
- By recovering quickly from a crisis.
Research studies have delineated the characteristics of resilient and non-resilient children. Children and young people with a strong sense of attachment to other people, a more positive outlook on life, more plans for the future and more control over their lives are more likely to demonstrate resilience.
What we know from research:
- 25% of the prison population have been in care - twelve times the rate for their peer group;
- 50% of the Young Offenders Institution (YOI) population are Children Looked After or ex-CLA;
- 42% of school age children who offend are excluded from school;
- Of those excluded from school 78% commit offences.
2.1 Universal Provision (open to all subject to age, gender etc)
For many children and young people (particularly those living in group care) access to universal services can integrate them into a community and help normalise their peer group.
The Leeds youth service works to engage and support those young people in the most need, living in areas of social deprivation or struggling against discrimination. The service is targeted at areas of the city and groups of young people with the most needs.
The city centre and local area teams provide a core service across the city and a network of specialist and innovative projects covering: quality work, community cohesion, health education, issue-based group-work, individual support work, residential and outdoor activity centres and a huge range of out of school activities.
The youth service offer advice and guidance to young people on a number of topics including drugs, sexual health, education, employment opportunities, cultural diversity and equality.
More information about the Leeds Youth Service can be found here and many of the activities that they provide are promoted through the Breeze website.
The Family Information Service website is an information site for parents and carers of children and young people. The site provides information and links to a wide range of family services and activities for children and young people (including the voluntary sector i.e. scouts / guides).
Leeds Pathways provides information on education, training and career available to young people age 13-25 years who live in Leeds. Leeds Pathways offers practical help choosing the right courses and careers options. This help includes access to broader personal development through positive activities like sport, performing arts, youth work activities, and volunteering. It will also provide help and advice on issues such as drug use and abuse, sexual health, safeguarding issues, etc.
The Youth Information Hub provides information, advice and guidance on a range of topics including housing, travel, mental health, sexual health, physical health and disabilities and money.
Drop-in services for young people
Young people who are 16-17 and not in education, employment or training, can speak to a Pathways Advisor by visiting one of the drop-in services provided by the Pathways Support Team at various Jobshops around Leeds. For more information please see the Drop in Services for Young People website.
And Section 6, The Restorative Process.
2.2 Targeted Provision
Youth Inclusion Project (provided by Barca Leeds) – The Youth Inclusion Project helps vulnerable young people avoid exclusion in all its guises so that they can fulfil their potential and be an asset to their families, the local community and the economy. It provides young people with the opportunity to meet, have fun and engage in their community.
|Multisystemic Therapy (MST)
Target Group - Age 11 to 17
MST is an intensive family and community based intervention that targets the multiple causes of serious anti-social behaviour in young people who are at risk of coming into care, are involved with YOS and/or are exhibiting a high level of anti-social behaviour. Typical referral behaviours for the young person will include a number of the following:
Type of Support
MST works with the individual, family and all the systems in a young person's ecology such as peers, school and community during the assessment and treatment process and is aimed at preventing out of home placements, anti-social behaviour and can support rehabilitation to home from care. MST is a home-based, goal orientated programme where therapists are available to families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Therapists are able to work intensively with families (several hours a week) due to low caseloads and length of treatment is typically three to five months. The MST therapist works to engage family members and other key participants in the youth's environment (e.g. extended family, teachers, peers) assesses the factors contributing to the identified problems and help families to set goals for treatment that target those factors.
Interventions are typically aimed at providing parents with the skills and resources they need to address the factors contributing to the youth's behavioural problems. For example, interventions are designed to:
|Signpost Family Intervention Service
Target Group
Signpost follows a family intervention approach which involves a clear model of assertive family support and enforcement. Most families referred to the service have failed to engage with appropriate services or are too chaotic to effectively access necessary services.
Type of Support
The support provided falls into three key strands; family support, educational support and access to leisure and recreational activities and whilst the primary focus for Signpost is to reduce anti-social behaviour, criminal behaviour and the numbers of children entering the care system, the service delivers a range of interventions that help deliver across a number of strategic priorities relating to domestic violence, alcohols and substance misuse, teenage pregnancies, NEET, homelessness, worklessness and emotional well being.
By phone: 0113 3783313
The three referral routes are:
3. Reprimand
1st Offence (if fully admitted and not so serious as to warrant prosecution) will usually result in a REPRIMAND which is administered by the police and recorded. A community restorative resolution can also be administered at police discretion and if available in the force area, (see Section 6, The Restorative Process).
A reprimand is just what it says and involves no other intervention which might address the behaviours which led to the offence. Universal services and any of the targeted resources identified above could be available to young people who fulfil the referral criteria but have also been reprimanded, (see Section 2.1 Universal Provision and Section 2.2 Targeted Provision).
4. Final Warning
2nd Offence (if fully admitted and not so serious etc) will be likely to result in a FINAL WARNING, decided by and administered by the police. The decision is recorded and citable in court on future occasions. The child will also be referred to the local Youth Offending Service for assessment and may involve some intervention (maximum three months) relevant to risk of offending.
Universal services and PAYP provision can be available for those fulfilling the referral criteria, (see Section 2.1 Universal Provision and Section 2.2 Targeted Provision).
(see Section 6, The Restorative Process).
5. Court Ordered Intervention(s)
All of the interventions described below are mandated by a youth court order and will be administered by the Youth Offending Service. Such orders whilst subject to National Standards should complement not conflict or override any existing care plans.
3rd Offence will result in PROSECUTION IN COURT. This will lead to one of the following court orders or interventions:
|Court Ordered Intervention(s)
|Referral order
|Between three and 12 months for first offence in court if admitted and not serious enough to merit custody, can be extended but not repeated unless exceptional circumstances
|Reparation order
|Maximum 24 hours reparation to be completed within three months of sentence.
|Fines, discharges, compensation order and deferred sentence
|For less serious offences
Subsequent offending will result in a:
|Court Ordered Intervention(s)
|Youth Rehabilitation Order
No minimum period and up to 36 months. Can be used more than once and is based on the seriousness of the offence and risk, and which could contain:
Other control elements could include:
Serious and repeat offending can result in custody:
|Court Ordered Intervention(s)
|Detention and training order
|Custody for up to two years (for 12-17 yr olds)
|Long term custodial sentences (section 90/91)
|Crown Court custody exceeding two years (but only for the most serious offences)
Post Court Order
When a Court ordered YOS intervention reaches it's end date (as defined in the Court Order) the YOS closes the case and all intervention ceases.
Youth Offending Teams are not mandated to provide services beyond the end of the Order (or Programme). Social workers, Care workers or Foster carers could consider:
- Any universal support services;
- Local networks and resources;
- Referral to Children Leeds Panels;
- Referral to Intervention Panels.
Civil Anti-social behaviour measures include:
- Acceptable Behaviour Contracts;
- Individual Support Orders;
- Anti Social Behaviour Injunctions (breach of ASBI's can result in Custody).
Children and young people subject to court ordered interventions are still children albeit they might be displaying offending behaviour and as such should be able to access any universal services available, (see Section 2.1 Universal Provision).
YIP and PAYP provision are not available to children and young people who have YOS involvement.
(see Section 6, The Restorative Process).
6. The Restorative Process
6.1 Is a Punitive Approach to Wrong Doing the Most Effective Intervention for Children Looked After?
Children's Services policy discourages responses that might result in the criminalisation of children generally and those in care particularly. Once a child or young person becomes involved in the Criminal Justice System they begin to accrue a criminal record and will be subject to the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA). It is worth noting that offences of assault against or between children are exempt from the ROA and must be disclosed on a DBS application. This will always have to be declared subsequently and can result in the child or young person being unable to embark on courses or take up work with children or other vulnerable groups.
Children Looked After and young people are themselves a vulnerable group who:
- Are likely to have been victimised in the past;
- Might already feel themselves to be punished and may feel they have nothing to lose;
- May have distorted boundaries;
- Lack trusting relationships and struggle to accept responsibility for their actions.
6.2 Background to Restorative Justice
Since the 11th century western legal tradition has increasingly viewed crime as an offence against the public at large and against society rather than against the individual victim. The obvious response resulting from this is state prosecution, punishment and the development of a system of justice, which is both retributive and adversarial. One of the results being that the individual victim is marginalised in the process. A number of western cultures prior to the eleventh century and many non-western cultures today view an offence as a violation of social bonds and responds to it through a process of negotiation, restitution and reconciliation. With a restorative approach the law becomes a mediating process designed to reconcile not a process to allocate blame and punishment.
6.3 Principles of Restoration and Mediation
Unlike retributive or punishment based models of intervention, restorative approaches are based on an inclusive and elective set of principles.
Self determination
A restorative approach will be characterised by being:
Non judgemental
Will have vision
6.4 Evidence Based Benefits of Using a Restorative Approach
A non government assessment of the evidence on restorative justice in the UK and internationally, was carried out by the Jerry Lee Centre of Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania for the Smith Institute in London. The purpose of the review was to examine what constitutes good quality restorative justice practice and to reach conclusions on its effectiveness, with particular reference to re-offending.
The report known as the Sherman report found the following:
- The most important conclusion was that 'restorative justice works differently on different kinds of people.' It can work well as a general policy, if a growing body of evidence on 'what works well for whom' can become the basis for specifying when and when not to use it. Rigorous tests of restorative justice in diverse samples have found substantial reductions in repeat offending for both violence and property crimes;
- In general, restorative justice seems to reduce crime more effectively with more rather than less serious crimes. The results suggested restorative justice works better with crimes involving personal victims than for crimes without them. They also suggest that it works with violent crimes more consistently than with property crimes, the latter having the only evidence of crime increases. These findings run counter to conventional wisdom, and could become the basis for substantial inroads in demarcating when it is in the public interest to seek restorative justice rather than court justice;
- The evidence consistently suggests that victims benefit, on average, from face to face restorative justice conferences. The evidence is less clear about other forms of restorative justice, with no unbiased estimates of the effects of indirect forms of restorative justice on victims. It can reduce victims' desire for violent revenge against the offender. Victims also suffer less intense post traumatic stress symptoms after face to face restorative justice (Angel 2005) returning to work and normal life sooner than they do without it - which should in turn, reduce the long term severity and costs of such health problems as coronary heart disease (Kubzansky et al 2007).
The evidence shown in the Sherman report indicates that the use of restorative justice in specific circumstances could reduce the financial costs associated with bringing offenders to justice and victim support. The three main areas that financial benefits could be realised include; prosecution / court costs, custodial costs and health care costs.
6.5 Economic and Social Benefits
Providing early diversionary interventions for a child i.e. One to one mentoring once a week for a year can cost as little as approximately £300 per annum. Provision for the same child for twelve months in a Local Authority Secure Unit can cost approximately £200,000. Early non-criminalising intervention can be more effective and cost effective.

Are you perplexed about this new yet popular term 'Bitcoins' that are being flashed all around? When googled are you being stuffed with unknown technical theories and explanations? Do not worry as we here have tried and simplified the concept for you. Now you can quench your curiosity. We will explain you about how the system works, how you can use it for your advantage, and resources that will help you store and use your first pieces of digital currency prudently.
Bitcoin in a nutshell
A pseudonymous software developer who has been pseudo-named Satoshi Nakamoto introduced bitcoin in the year of 2008, as an electronic payment system basing it on some mathematical proofs. Till date no-one really knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. This small wonder, Bitcoin emerged in 2008 just after big banks were accused by the Occupy Wall Street, of misappropriating the borrowers' money, duping and faking clients, rigging the system, and charging largely boggling fees. The pioneers wanted to put the sellers directly in contact thus eliminating the middleman, cancelling the interest fees, and make transactions transparent, to hack corruption and cut down fee. The crux of the concept was to basically introduce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. Paying with blockchain technology such as Bitcoin also lets you pay anonymously. Furthermore, they created a decentralized arrangement, where you could regulate your funds and know everything about what was happening to it.
Bitcoins, in the modern times have developed a lot in a relatively short span of time though. All across the globe, multinational enterprises and companies, accept its currency, varying from a large jewelry chain in the US, REEDS Jewelers to a private hospital in Warsaw, Poland. Multi-billion earning businesses such as Dell, Expedia, PayPal, and Microsoft accept them too. Websites are highly promoting it, there are exclusive publications such as Bitcoin Magazine publishing its news and updates, forums are frequently discussing cryptocurrency and trading its coins. It has an application programming interface acronymed to API, price index, and an exchange. But the problems it faces include thieves hacking accounts, high volatility, and transaction delays. On the other hand, people in third world countries may find Bitcoin their most reliable channel yet for giving or receiving money.
Bitcoin in-depth
The simplest description about it could be that Bitcoin is a virtual currency or reference to the technology. It enables you to make transactions by cheque, wiring, or cash. Additionally, you can also use Bitcoin (or BTC), where you refer the purchaser to your signature, which is a long line of super strong security code encrypted with 16 distinct symbols for the same. The purchaser's smartphone decodes the code to obtain the cryptocurrency. Putting it another way for better understanding, cryptocurrency is an exchange of digital information that enables you to buy as well as sell goods or services. The transaction gains its security, authenticity and trust by running on a peer-to-peer computer network system with encryption which is similar to Skype, or Bit Torrent, a file-sharing systems.

While my summer TV schedule is child's play compared to regular season viewing, Monday nights are pretty robust, especially thanks to Showtime's female-led dark dramedy one-two punch of Weeds and Nurse Jackie. But there can only be one Queen of Mondays. Who will it be: Nancy Botwin or Jackie Peyton? Let's break it down:
Drugs Both shows are about drugs, kind of. Nancy sells them, Jackie does them, and both women manage to escape what that often means for other people — prison, say, or an inability to function. Jackie's drug abuse is more realistic than Nancy's trafficking role, so point to Jackie.
BFFs Is that friend or frenemy? Jackie pals around with a fancy British lady, while Nancy finds herself weirdly tied to the erratic, emotionally barren Celia. I don't totally buy Jackie and Dr. O'Hara's relationship — really? the no-nonsense, spendthrift Jackie's best bud is a loopy doctor who spends thousands on clothing she just throws away? — but at the same time, I sometimes hate Celia so much I feel the need to fast forward her scenes. It's a draw.
Sexytimes On Jackie's side, there's a hunky, doting husband — and an enabling, not-as-hunky pharmacist she gets freaky with every day at noon. On Nancy's side, there's…well, right now there's just the really hot, really dangerous, maybe abusive politician and drug kingpin Esteban. Plus, Nancy's brother-in-law Andy is crazy about her (when he's not too busy getting it on with her sister), and over the course of the last few seasons, we've seen the naughty Mrs. Botwin through some pretty excellent adventures. Winner: Nancy
Which means it's a tie, and now it's up to you, PopWatchers! Who rules your Mondays, Nancy or Jackie?

Dragging. That's what this day is doing. Dragging. This seems to be the case each and every Monday. Although the #MelindaMondays posts can help me through say the first two hours of the day, by the time the clock strikes 12, I find that I'm dragging my feet again. I'm in need of something – anything – to get me through the damn day! Why not a little jingle? How about the new single and video from Lonely Island featuring Pharrell Williams? Although their lyrics general have absolutely no meaning and contain crude references to the male…ehrm…member, they're a laugh and will lighten the mood.

15 "It is he who made the earth by his power,
who established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
16 When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
There is no need for us to worry about our life. The verse above just shows how powerful our great God is and because we are His children, know for a fact that HHHe wouldn't leave our side. He can make impossible things to happen. He can command mountains to move from here to there. Therefore, how hard our trials in life may be would never ruin the truth that our God is greater.
He had established this world years ago. He made everything from nothing! This means God can provide our needs. We just have to ask Him. He has an infinite wisdom that no man can fathom, whatever the plans He has for us, the thing is, it is what's best for us! Whatever we are going through are processes that He made for us to become better. He can do anything.
If God is the greatest, who can be against Him? Here is the thing, If God is with us, who can be against us? We were created to enjoy life to its fullest. To many, this fact may seem hard to reach but if the center of our life is God and we continually obey His words, life would indeed be worth living.Be worry free!

Don't Sweat It host Steve Watson says, "One of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to home renovation (is that) they try to be cheap when they buy materials. The bottom line is, you're going to get what you pay for."
1 Budget, budget, budget I cannot say it enough. I'm an optimist who always is convinced that if you may spend money on an excellent reno rather than cheaping out, the required money will magically show up. In reality, we understand that's not true! So be sure to research your options. Talk to a pal who has experienced an identical reno, do just as much windowpane shopping and cost-comparisons that can be done. Ensure that you tack on at least a supplementary 20% for those unavoidable conditions that will sprout. And check your budget with your company or deals regularly to be sure you're on the right track. Finally, don't acquire to renovate when you can. A reno is a lot as pleasing if you conserve the necessary money before your renovate. Believe me.
2 Find the appropriate builder We've all read the horror reviews (and I've certainly been see to some of these). My common recommendation would be that the best contractors are available through person to person. But if you cannot think of a good recommendation, I am pleased to say that you will get great companies on the web. Have a look at sites such as www.handycanadian.com or www.homerenovationguide.com. Ensure you get several recommendations before you hint any agreements!
3 Be realistic Thinking is the beginning of any good restoration, but to truly have a good experience, you need to be realistic in what you can complete based on your finances, resources as well as your existing home. So most of us (specifically in this time of low interest levels and easy to get at home equity lending options) will live beyond our means-just to obtain that beautiful premium kitchen or marble bathroom. If you're absolutely focused on the imagine something that you can't manage, see if it is possible to renovate in periods. For example, in my own first home, I must say i wanted a rock floor in my own kitchen. The purchase price well exceeded my budget. I didn't want to bargain so I made a decision to hang on to do the ground until I possibly could afford the rock that I must say i wanted. I finished up painting my subfloor a putty gray and got the millworkers design my kitchen with an extra-high kick – which allowed me the area to set up the rock floor later. Ironically, I finished up selling the house. Among the things that the new homeowners treasured was the coated solid wood kitchen floor!
4 Research your facts Speak to friends who've renovated and also other real real estate and reno experts of the home renovation. It's important before you attempt the restoration rollercoaster to have a clear knowledge of what things to expect. Plus, you will need to make certain that you bring your ideas and research to the stand. Clip photographs out of publications of rooms that you like. Scour outlets and the web for the latest and best. Have an over-all idea of the way you want the area to appear and feel. If you're stressed, find a developer that can help you lead just how. If you wish to find an established interior designer, get on the web. In Ontario, you can get fantastic recommendations through the Connection of Registered Interior Designers. Other provinces likewise have their own organizations.
5 It's all in the facts Pondering big picture should be commended, but we realize that details are what can make or break a reno. I am going to never forget position naively in the catacomb that was eventually to be my stunning new bathroom, delighted with myself which i had purchased my faucets, my tiles and my vanity. "Where will be the rough-ins?" bellowed my plumber? "Rough-ins?" I asked, a shaky take note of of trepidation colouring the shade of my words. Within occasions, the glory of experiencing provided everything to my deals had vanished when i noticed that I hadn't purchased the "cake" of the faucets, only the gleaming chromium icing. My mistake organized my reno for another fourteen days. So be sure to have a list (or multiple lists for each and every room), and ensure that you verify and reconfirm that everything has been bought, has been provided, etc. You can also check beautiful Indian escorts in Dubai for fun.

Orthodox Jewish school in London appeals to Education Secretary over negative rating
Argument focuses on differences over 'approach to protected characteristics'. Loyalty to the Torah not allowed, apparently. Such authoritarianism is not remotely on the same scale as Hitler's but it is of the same kind
A Chasidic girls' primary school in Stamford Hill has appealed to Education Secretary Damian Hinds to intervene after inspectors said it was still falling short of independent school standards.
Although Ofsted has recognised Beis Ruchel d'Satmar has improved since being rated inadequate, the inspection service has withheld full approval.
The school is due to go to a tribunal next month to contest a Department for Education order restricting the intake of pupils.
A recent follow-up inspection confirmed that leaders of the school have "worked effectively to enhance pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, especially in relation to the fundamental British values of democracy and the rule of law".
They promoted greater understanding and respect for people with some of the "protected characteristics" under equality law, such as disability, age and race.
But Ofsted reported that leaders maintained that any reference to the protected characteristics relating to religions and beliefs, sexual orientation and gender reassignment was a red line "that will never be crossed".
Inspectors added there was "no evidence" to suggest the school was undermining fundamental British values or discriminating against pupils.
A school spokesman said: "We are proud of the changes our school has made in a very short space of time. We have addressed many of the points raised in last year's report and the new report recognises our improvements.
"Despite the progress we have made, we are prevented from meeting all the Independent School Standards due to our values and approach to protected characteristics. We would urge the Secretary of State to remove us from the tribunal process
'Lockdown, lock the door. Shut the lights off, say no more': Disturbing nursery rhyme teaches kindergartners how to survive a school shooting
A mother has been left horrified after she saw a nursery rhyme teaching kindergartners how to survive a school shooting.
Georgy Cohen posted a picture of the rhyme which was hanging up in the kindergarten class in Somerville, Massachusetts, that her five-year-old daughter will attend in the fall.
In a disturbing sign of the times, the poem - sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, teaches young children what to do in case of an active shooter.
It reads: 'Lockdown, lockdown, lock the door. 'Shut the lights off, say no more. 'Go behind the desk and hide. Wait until it's safe inside. 'Lockdown, lockdown it's all done. Now it's time to have some fun!'
The post has already been liked and shared more than 60,000 times with many other parents sharing their outrage that the spate of school shootings had inevitably led to this.
Many contrasted it with their own childhoods when the worst they had to worry about at school was a fire drill.
'This should not be hanging in my soon-to-be-kindergartener's [sic] classroom,' Cohen wrote, adding that she didn't blame the school, but the current climate which has already seen 23 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed this year. 'The school is doing exactly what they need to be doing, and I am glad for it,' she said.
'My issue is with the political & cultural factors that brought us to this sad state. Please talk to your legislators about the need for gun reform.'
She and Somerville Public Schools declined to identify the school, but district officials confirmed it was the work of one teacher and is not used across all of the city's schools.
The Somerville district enrolls about 5,000 students in a suburb north of Boston.
In a statement, Superintendent Mary Skipper and city Mayor Joseph Curtatone applauded the teacher's creativity, but they lamented that lockdown drills have become as common as fire drills.
'As much as we would prefer that school lockdowns not be a part of the educational experience, unfortunately this is the world we live in,' they wrote. 'It is jarring - it's jarring for students, for educators and for families.'
There has been almost one school shooting a week, on average, since January. Just last month, in Santa Fe, Texas, shooter Dimitrios Pagourtzis opened fire in an art room, leaving ten dead and another ten injured.
But the worst shooting this year took place in Parkland, Florida when a 19-year-old former student began shooting students and staff members with a semi-automatic AR-15 type rifle. 17 people were killed, and 17 others were injured.
Political correctness gone mad: Outrage as students are marked down for using 'mankind' and 'workmanship' in essays – and some universities have even banned the word 'she'
After being put under the spotlight, some university representatives are denying that this is their official policy. That may well be so but it is clearly an unofficial polcy and is no less authoritarian for that
Top universities across Australia have taken to slashing students grades for using banned 'gendered language'.
Terms such as 'man', 'she', 'wife', 'mother' and any other terminology that angers the PC brigade have been blacklisted.
Students claimed they have lost marks for referring to 'mankind' or 'workmanship' in assignments, as they are not deemed 'inclusive language.'
'People are losing marks for using everyday speech because it's not gender-neutral,' a politics student told The Courier Mail.
The student said the university can't just ban every word with 'man' in it, as more blacklisted words are uncovered, including 'sportsmanship' and man-made.'
The acting executive dean of The University of Queensland's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor Julie Duck, thinks the penalties are justified. 'Students are advised to avoid gender-biased language in the same way they are advised to avoid racist language, cliches, contractions, colloquialisms, and slang in their essays.'
She said these issues should only marginally impact marks, depending on the severity of the infringement.
Queensland University of Technology students are also being impacted by the university's political correct crusade. Students are being penalised for failing to use 'inclusive language', and warned against describing women in a secondary position to something or somebody else. This includes, but is not limited to 'wife of', 'mother of' or 'daughter of'.
The suffix 'man' is deemed sexist, due to the implication that the comment is referential of a male.
Griffith University tells staff and students to 'look for non-binary pronouns so that misgendering doesn't occur'.
Universities are going so far as to reject notions of correct grammar in favour of excluding gendered language.
The University of Sydney prefers students to create sentences that are grammatically incorrect but politically correct, rather than use the words 'he' or 'she'. The example their style guide provides to exemplify this is: 'If a student wants their results early, they should go to the student centre.'
The University of Newcastle is yet another institution joining the fold, with an inclusive language guide that bans gendered language, telling students to use words such as humanity, human race or humankind instead.
Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham openly disagrees with the policies, claiming that they were enforcing 'nanny state stuff' on students. 'Our universities should be better than this rubbish,' he said.

JP261 RATH Bb/F French Horn
The JP261 RATH is a full double Bb/F French Horn designed and manufactured in collaboration with Michael Rath of Rath Trombones. Michael Rath is highly regarded for his trombone designs, but what is less well known is that he spent ten years working with Paxman's making French Horns. Rath instruments are renowned for the build quality and high level of finish on their instruments and the JP261 RATH is no different. Featuring an exclusively designed Rath leadpipe, the JP261 RATH incorporates many other sophisticated Rath design elements and draws on Michael's collective experience at Paxman and at Rath creating custom instruments for some of the world's more demanding players. The JP261 RATH provides an instrument that is affordable to students but that deliver performance that challenges models many more times its price.
The JP261 RATH is constructed from high grade 80:20 brass throughout and includes an exclusive Rath designed leadpipe. As you would expect from an instrument at this level, the JP261 RATH includes neoprene valve bumpers, a mechanical (ball & socket) linkage and bell ring. The JP261 RATH also includes an adjustable and reversible Bb/F lever for those who prefer the horn to stand in Bb rather than F.

The Basenji is a breed of hunting dog. It was bred from stock that originated in central Africa. Most of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world place the breed in the hound group—more specifically, in the sighthound type. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale places the breed in its group five (spitz and primitive types), and the United Kennel Club (US) places the breed in its Sighthound and pariah group.
The Basenji produces an unusual yodel-like sound (commonly called a "baroo"), due to its unusually shaped larynx. This trait also gives the Basenji the nickname "barkless dog".
Basenjis share many unique traits with pariah dog types. Basenjis, like dingoes, New Guinea singing dogs and some other breeds of dog, come into estrus only once annually—as compared to other dog breeds, which may have two or more breeding seasons every year. Both dingoes and Basenji lack a distinctive odor, and are prone to howls, yodels, and other vocalizations over the characteristic bark of modern dog breeds. One theory holds that the latter trait is the result of selecting against dogs that frequently bark—in the traditional Central African context—because barking could lead enemies to humans' forest encampments. While dogs that resemble the Basenji in some respects are commonplace over much of Africa, the breed's original foundation stock came from the old growth forest regions of the Congo Basin, where its structure and type were fixed by adaptation to its habitat, as well as use (primarily net hunting in extremely dense old-growth forest vegetation).
