Nobody going to mention a Cask of Amontillado? Maybe not the most mind-bending example, but the tale of leading a supposed friend to their own horrific murder was not a thing I expected to be reading in school.

Was that before or after the school-shooting lockdown drills?

I grew up in a small town in Canada. We never had any kind of lock down drills.

Dang, things must be pretty good up in Canada. People are sending their children to first grade with ballistic-shielded backpacks down here.

There is a modicum of school violence in Canada, primarily in Urban/Metro centres, but not enough to cause general panic. Tue States has a pretty unique problem.
