Do NOT Run With Scissors!

I remember hearing as a child, “don’t run with scissors”. As a parent, I have said that to my children and other children as well. On Thursday when the Knox County leaders had the ribbon cutting for the New Southwest Elementary School, I mean the Northshore Elementary School I thought this was kinda risky behavior.

The ribbon cutting at Northshore Elementary School where the leaders cut the ribbon over the shoulders of the students.

But then on Friday at the Carter Elementary School ribbon cutting it was clearly a risky behavior.

The Carter Elementary School ribbon cutting. Where there are more kids than scissors. At least Burchett and McMillan are holding up the scissors away from the students

If I were in charge, I would have let the kids cut the ribbon. With safety scissors of course.

Be sure you are covered when you have an unfortunate accident.
