Fearmongering is out of control

A school shooting is my greatest fear right now for my kids.  [/quote]

School shootings occur in private schools too.  You'll have to move out of America if you want to reduce that fear.[/quote]

Yes, shootings do happen at private schools, but they happen far more often — I believe 15x as often — in public schools. Especially suburban and rural public schools. This is Googleable.

The risk of a shooting is my #1 fear about sending my kids to public and my #1 fear about living in America. It’s horrible, and I see no viable solutions on the table.[/quote]

You know what is also Googleable? Basic statistics.  80%+ of American students go to public school rather than private school.  So the fact that shootings happen far more often in public schools is what one would expect given that most students attend public school.[/quote]
