It's just so impossible to wrap your mind around.<br /><br />I did find a blogger day of silence going on tomorrow, that I'm planning on participating in, in case you wanted to look into that as well.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112065358549799390.post-71369469758517889872012-12-17T11:18:47.679-06:002012-12-17T11:18:47.679-06:00This post gave me chills. It is so heartbreaking, ...This post gave me chills. It is so heartbreaking, so horrific. The teachers and administrators showed such bravery in something that should not have happened. <br /><br />I do think schools need to be tougher on security but I don't think MORE weapons is the answer and I firmly, firmly do not believe teachers should have them in their classrooms. Gun control, more help for mental illnesses, school security... there are a lot of issues on hand. I hate phrasing it like this, but I hope this is a wake-up call for Washington to get it together.

I do think it starts with more mental health programs, and more of an effort to remove some of the stigma around mental illnesses. Maybe people would seek help more often if if was more socially acceptable? But I don't know. All i know is that it is a horribly sad situation and my heart hurts for those parents.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112065358549799390.post-63823164374183096072012-12-16T21:53:12.114-06:002012-12-16T21:53:12.114-06:00I personally don't think metal dectctors in ev...I personally don't think metal dectctors in every school is the answer.
