Today’s school shooting was in my district. I know many people who work at that school, including some dear friends. It’s been a terrible day, but it’s a day I’ve been anticipating.

Why do we live in a country where students and teacher anticipate these kinds of actions. We know it’s a problem but we don’t actually do anything about it. Is it because there’s nothing we can do?

This morning I was reading an EdWeek article talking about the support systems in place in schools to address mental health needs for students. The Secret Service was mentioned as having looked at the last 41 shootings and finding that in every case there was one or more major stressors in the attackers’ lives. Gun legislation wouldn’t cover that. And before anyone could say that schools have to take on this task as well, let alone how to fund it, the article also said that the overwhelming majority of kids with traumas, stressors, in their lives do not behave violently, something we all know.

I am so sorry. This makes me so sad, and then, so angry. I don't know when we'll get stricter gun laws. How much longer can we stand by as children get shot? I'm at a loss for words, my heart breaks for those students, for their parents.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk?
