As a teacher and a mom, I get this. We had a lockdown drill this morning, and as I sat on the floor in the dark with my students, I grieved for our culture and nation. I wish I had thought to lead the kids in a very quiet and calming breathing exercise. Next time I’ll do that.
My pulse started racing when I started reading this, and we don’t even have kids. I am both saddened and angered by the fact that today’s school kids and staff (and frantic families) have to deal with this. I’ll bet your hugs for Little Bean are a bit tighter for every “incident”.
Understandable.. When I taught and the hold or shelter came on, by heart went a mile a minute. Looking at the children and the staff, we all did what we had to do.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Dan. No parent should have to worry about gun "incidents" at their child's school. It's unconscionable.
