In reply to: Another school shooting. Newtown, CT posted by LondonDomer

this scares me on so many levels. I have had my share of angry adult encounters and push my staff to be alert and stop anyone that looks like they do not belong. After today I am slowly realizing that my school can do everything right but if some nut job has intent to do harm there may be nothing we can do short of locking a school down like an embassy base.
