As I told one of my coworkers who moved to the US a few years ago, it wasn't always this way in the schools in this country. When I was in elementary and high school in the 1960's-1970's, fearing that one of your classmates would shoot up the school was not even thought of.
Unfortunately, I think it's not a matter of if a similar situation at a school will occur again, but when and where, and that really saddens me.

The kids want to change things and seem determined to do so. Unfortunately, there will be more shootings but this will only make these children more determined to stop things as much as they can.
Many seem to want to help them too.
Does a Celebration of Life for a 14 year old make much sense??? That is what a pair of Villagers grandparents are attending or will within a week or so.
