Well, I've stayed up with this whole thread, as I did last nights. I can NOT believe how adults can "eat their own" as has happened both nights.

None of us KNOW FOR SURE what is going on. I think we can all agree???????????? that we don't necessarily WANT everything to be out there so the bad guys know what we know. Yeah, there's room for improvement, but this terror on our soil IS new to us.

I've worked in schools, private and public. I'm tellin' ya, this is either the districts deciding, along with the police, that they're ALL going to regroup and come up with a contingency plan for the worst, OR, there's something much bigger that we don't know about.

I'm leaning towards the bigger thing.

You can NOT reach the district office on the weekends. And, let's say hundreds of parents called.....they do NOT have to close them down. The parents don't have to send their children in. And I'll betcha, that given the circumstances, those children who don't go won't be penalized.

WHY ARE WE FIGHTING EACH OTHER, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN? Why must it be civil rights, or homeschooling, or whatever. WHY AREN'T WE CONCENTRATING ON THE TOPIC AT HAND????????????????????

Sheesh.

We just do not have enough information to know what is right or wrong. I believe there is some threat that has been put out on the table. I want to believe...that the school disctricts did not make this decision based just on the last shooting. I truly believe there is a puzzle piece missing here...we are not privy to all the information. God help those who are in the seat of decision making.
