Gun violence has dramatically changed faculty life on our college campuses. Orientations and trainings now include conversations about active-shooter situations or how to profile your students for “odd” or “threatening” behaviors. Buildings are designed and marketed to be better facilities, not because the technology can promote teaching and learning, but because it can work in efficient ways to contain a shooter on campus with systems designed to lock down buildings in an instant.
Every April, or when another campus or school is the scene of gun violence, my friends and colleagues who were with me in Blacksburg often reach out to one another. Sometimes we share coping strategies and how we may have approached a certain situation with a student or a new space we find ourselves in. Pedagogy, or how we teach and support students, has changed to include other conversations once rarely discussed on college campuses.
So thoughts & prayers aren't working?
Stop bullying
How many of those shooters were on medication for depression or something like that. I don’t remember hearing about school shootings back in ‘70’s. What happened? There were fire arms around.
no solutions in sight

One student dead in shooting at suburban Denver school, police say; seven other students injuredMultiple injuries are reported at a suburban Denver school as police responded to reports of gunshots, according to law enforcement authorities. I have a strong guess what the gop and nra will blame, it is something that is legal in Colorado but it is not a gun. Mental health is the problem and there’s no place for these people to be checked out because Obama close them down Damn. More traumatized children and families.

Perspective | I am terrified my newborn girl will inherit my 22-year-long eating disorderShe will be with me at almost every moment, see everything I do, hear everything I say, and her little sponge-brain will absorb it all. Probably shouldn't have had a child then, huh? Then make sure you get help and keep getting help in the future (even if you’re doing well) and when your daughter is old enough bring her into the loop and explain that she’s at risk. While adoption could have addressed her genetic (nature) concern, her valid concern about her parenting (nurture) would indicate that she's not ready to be a parent. Since the baby is here, targeted therapy for the mother is likely best for both of them.

Deadly Colorado school shooting a reminder of past tragediesThe deadly school shooting in Colorado Tuesday brought back familiar feelings of grief and fear for local parents, including the local district attorney. more photo ops for the all talk tax and spend do nothing democrats Here we go again is sadly correct. The school shot up Tuesday was a gun free zone, just like Columbine was 20 years ago. Until that changes these shitheads will continue to shoot up places where they’ll meet no resistance. Gun free zones are easy targets. No fear.

How to talk to your kids about school shootings, like the one at Colorado's STEM schoolAfter the shooting at STEM school Highlands Ranch in Colorado, we revisit how to talk to your kids about school shootings. It’s called a gun training course I'm always interested in hearing what these shooters backgrounds are in regards to school discipline. Are these kids that have been suspended numerous times, have criminal backgrounds, or are they just snapping? Just wondering out loud. By not using any “logical” declaration from usa today...

'Hero' student describes how he, classmates, thwarted school shooting suspectOne of three students who thwarted a gunman in a Colorado school shooting described how they were able to combine their efforts to disarm the suspected shooter. 😞The times we live in!😞 I hope it happens in all future school shooting. When you see the shooter some or all run towards the person and jump him/her. That person will not be allowed to kill all of you. He might get a few but not all. I am so proud of you that do it. It's like the Paris train. Praise God. 👍👏
