[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did I read that article correctly that they haven't been in school since the shooting and won't go back until next week?

That's even more appalling!  I would have assumed a day or two off, but then get the kids and teachers back on campus with therapists and social workers.  Instead all of the famlies in the school had to handle helping their children on their own, not to mention three weeks of childcare for those that work?[/quote]

Ma'am or sir, a teacher nearly died...[/quote]

There’s a subset of parents whose brains are so broken that they think there’s literally zero reason for a school building not to be operating on a particular day. Disease, extreme weather, lack of water/power… it’s hardly surprising that they think a student shooting a staff member is just a “oh that’s too bad, but what about ME?” moment.[/quote]

I agree with the first poster.  That's a long time to be out of school.  And it will make the trauma worse, not better, to be so long out of routine and normal.

Sounds like the reason the school has been closed for so long has more to do with externals, including firing the superintendent, rather than what's best for the teachers and students of the school.  [/quote]
