I was appalled to see that they fixed up the temporary school to look just like the classrooms at Newtown.
Where's their brains????...everything the kids see in their "look a like" temporary school is a trigger...And they hear and feel the same emotions of that day. Dumb....just dumb...I can hear the shots as I write this. Imagine being in the classroom.
We have a winner!
If there is so much anxiety and schools are so dangerous, then why are they still attending schools? Why aren't they being homeschooled or in a highly secured private boarding school? Those parents who were filing suit against the state over the "foreseen" lack of security knowingly sent their kids to school every day for how many years... blah, it's all the same craziness.
