1. In Connecticut: Prayers, Grief, Questions ... And Stories Of Heroism

2. My entire career in education I've worked in
high schools in 'high needs' areas WITH metal detectors at the front
doors. Since day one I've always kept my door locked to my classroom,
while the school day is going on. Partly out of my forgetfulness to
unlock it all the way but also due to the fear that someone could come
in and hurt my children. We have children in the building that due to
their diagnosis are severely emotionally
disturbed and at times we've had incidents occur in the neighborhood
that put our school 'at risk'. I think that after the incident in CT,
all schools should seriously consider metal detectors in schools as a
precautionary measure. No, they (the metal detectors) don't look pretty
but they will help protect or most precious commodity- our children.
Continue to pray for the parents, children and community this affected.
