I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • Just checked this, you’re right. It’s a useful clarification that what the school teaches nowadays is also right but a different methodology. Schools often teach that accidents cause the most deaths, then health, then homicide, then suicide, and that car crashes are the most common kind of accidents. This is true.

    On the other hand, if you group by both mechanism and intent (still among ages 15–19, though 10–14 is similar but at a smaller scale), you have unintentional car crashes in the lead, ahead of firearm homicide by about four hundred. Combine this with undetermined and accidental firearm deaths, and the lead shrinks to about three hundred. Meanwhile, there are over a thousand cases of suicide by firearms, and (nearly?) no logged cases of homicide by car.

  • “Why haven’t you graded and returned any of my assignments yet this term?”

    This is not that situation. The database includes everything including graded assignments. It HELPS teachers find the relevant materials because you don’t have to dig through a giant stack instead of doing a Ctrl+F. In fact, you’ll cause a ton of students need to leaf through their chunks of old files and gather their past submissions to repeat exactly what you went through for every single class. What you propose is not at all kind or ethical.
