Times have changed. Now, nobody is safe.
My heart goes out to those who are grieving in Newton, Connecticut.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.

TImes have changed. While I've never been afraid for my own life in my classroom, I do fear what some of my students will become once they leave my classroom (or graduate, drop out, etc.).
The fringe kids are growing in numbers. And the imbalanced kids are not getting the help they need. And I have 23 more years of this before retirement. Sigh. God help us all.
Chris,
I wonder what happened to some of the troubled kids I had in my classes. Even in the first grade it was evident their future wasn't going to be easy. I couldn't do much except refer them to the child study team--and there was a waiting list for that. :^(
Something has changed, when I was in grade school, lots of kids had guns and went hunting and nobody ever got hurt.
I don't know what it is that has changed, but something has...

Mark,
I don't think anyone needs an assault rifle and I don't think kids need violent video games either.
When we were young, movies and television were tame. Violent video games did not exist.
Perhaps there are some things kids could do without--and adults, too.
Just my honest opinion.
Yes, my hubby and I were just saying this morning how we never had to do "lock-down" drills in schools growing up.
Sad.
Jennifer,
We didn't have lock-down drills but we had air raid drills back in the Cold War era. :^(
