I hate hearing about these situations, it's just terrible. My father is a teacher, and luckily, we live in a generally quiet area where this kind of thing is unheard of. But still, times are changing. When I graduated high school, it seemes like everything was fine to me. Now, a mere 5 years later, they have police patroling the parking lot, security in the school, parking passes, and loads of other safety measures. I know schools in our district that have metal detectors! That kind of a rapid change scares me, and is a huge indicator of where things have headed in a short time.
