When we as adults can answer that question, we can answer where the limit lines can be drawn. For all the consciousness raising that has occurred since the shootings at Columbine, Stephens still sees more violent and heartbreaking times in the immediate future. The challenge for schools this fall is to have a clear recollection of Columbine and the meaning it has for schools across America. But the places where it's been happening are the nice suburban and rural schools. I am optimistic about the changes that can be made.
American education has a great resilience.
