How many young people need to be killed or injured in America's schools before we address this situation, including the access to weapons by those who seem to misuse them? ย I get the 2nd Amendment. ย Can't we restrict ammunition amounts sold? ย Can't we look at other nations? And the aftermath for students, teachers and families is hard -- filled with memories that are etched. If schools and churches (and other religious venues) aren't safe, where is it safe? And, for the record, making schools armed camps is not good for anyone -- who can learn in an environment that looks and feels like a prison. ย And, without security, there is fear too. ย Were I guessing, we need many more counselors -- mental health counselors for troubled students and surviving students, teachers, parents and administrators. We must do better. ย We have to do better. ย As educators, we must take a collective stand. How sad, too, that it is Valentine's Day -- ruined for those there forever.
