I sympathize with this family but there is no way I would want my DGD in that school. Would you? It is so easy to chastise the school administration for trying to protect the children that are entrusted to them when we are not affected by the decision.
I would not pay to send my child there. I would not have my DGD in any school that this had happened. I know that thi sis not fair to a victim, but until there better ways to protect children from people armed to theteeth then this is at least one answer.
I am from CT, and we have had multiple lockdowns since Sandy Hook. No way would I knowingly enter my family into this. situation.
You know, I am puzzled. I post on the bathroom threads. You know the ones.....I will not let my boy out of my sight to use a public mens room, no matter how uncomfortable I make the people in the ladies room feel. My 8, 9 10 YO son could be molested, stolen, assaulted....in the bathrooms in Disney. How on Earth can people feel that protective, yet be critical of an administration that had to respond to a armed man who was clearly attempting to punish his family. Which one of you would be okay with your own child entering this school, day after day...just waiting for that guy to get out...and he will get out....get another weapon and finish the job?
If this was not a Catholic school, if it was a public school in your town, would you be critical? Would your child be in that building? I am not even going to think this one through. Not one of mine is expendable because of a principle
