We want to be safe in all aspects of our lives. However, this is not the case as we can see by the evidence of the tragedies in Littleton, Colorado and Conyers, Georgia. Schools are as a result now trying diligently to work with their communities to show that this is a community-wide responsibility. We all realize that we cannot completely create a safe environment for our children in schools. No matter how hard we try.
Security devices are limited and expensive.
Even with drastic measures something can and will be missed. It all starts with how we treat one another. This is not something that the schools can do alone. As new technology is developed we need new forms of protection also. In order to do this we must work together to get our students on the right track.
