What's wrong with some people that they think rules are more important than common sense? The kids who were intimidated and stopped by the teachers will live with the guilt of not having acted for the rest of their Lives. They'll always be wondering, "What if I hadn't listened to the teacher? He might be alive today."

Shouldn't teachers be required to be trained in that kind of basic first aid? In a situation like that, there's no time to go for help.

I don't know how much of this is true and how much isn't. I just think the whole thing is so tragic and senseless. Poor kid. Poor family.

Your point is well taken, but the article says that many 911 calls did in fact go out anyway.

But yes, as I've said countless times on here, common sense has left the building in our society.

I agree. And, I can't help but pause to think how this teacher would have reacted if it had been a gunman in the cafeteria.
