Every generation has drills in school. Fire drills, bombing drills in war, earthquake drills, etc. However, when Kimberly told me that Destiny was doing active shooter drills I just cried. That is more tragic than any drill I could imagine for them. I wanted my kids to be in a bubble when they were growing up. That did not work, but the thought was there. However, for my grand kids...of my goodness. You do not want them to be scared. You want them to walk home without fear and without incident.
There have been so many shootings in recent years it makes me physically ill. When Columbine happened I could not fathom it, it made no sense. The girl in CA that had Bob Geldoff singing, I don't like Mondays just broke a bit more of us. Each school shooting is specifically horrific, to me anyway. Babies, and babies are doing the shooting. How screwed up are we??? So extremely sad. So heartbreaking to me. This is why I do not watch/listen the news...
Tyson has been doing shooter drills for years also. I think it is good in a lot of ways. The real tragedy will be when people get hurt because all of our teachers are armed.
