You make a good point. So what is the root of the problem? My oldest is about to start school this fall and this is getting ridiculous. It feels like it's a daily occurrence now.
A Washington Post article might help mitigate your concerns a little. Check out "School shootings are extraordinarily rare. Why is fear of them driving policy?" by David Ropeik
i'm not that concerned. i know the chances of it happening to us are slim. just find the frequency alarming but only complaining isn't going to change things. guess i'm apathetic too.
An ^ in hearing @ violence does not necessarily denote an ^ in violence, but I doubt that's solace enough. Your concern may be rooted in good, but don't let it get the better of you.
