[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Gun violence at school” (more accurately termed the criminal misuse of firearms by deranged people who might as well have had a revolving light on their head for all the administrators cared), is terrible but fortunately rare. With notable exceptions, schools today typically make some effort to be prepared. Without meaning to minimize in any way your DC’s fear, I wonder if something else might be behind it.

If a 12th grade student isn’t equipped to deal with sexual predators (both administratively and/or via a punch in the nose and a swift kick in the nads), I really don’t know what to say. Again, is there something else behind this?

Definitely get the phone fixed. Is there somebody he can talk to about processing fears and anxieties?  [/quote]

Oh come on. Kids have every reason to be worried about their “safe space” not actually being safe. These are legitimate concerns.

I’m an adult (teacher) and every time I change classrooms I think about what I could use to barricade doors, what could bust through a window, etc. It is reality for those in a school.

The phone thing isn’t a big deal. They can connect to WiFi.[/quote]
