School counselors sound cry for help after Buffalo shooting

FILE - Children walk hand-in-hand near the scene of a shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., May 15, 2022. The shooting rampage at a Buffalo supermarket, carried out by an 18-year-old who was flagged for making a threatening comment at his high school the year before, highlights concerns over whether schools are adequately supporting and screening students.

Robert Bardwell, director of school counseling for Tantasqua Regional High School in Fiskdale, Massachusetts, said the shooting in upstate New York shaped how he handled a threat assessment this week. He told staff, “Dot our i’s, cross our t’s because I don’t want to be on the news in a year, or five years, saying that the school didn’t do something that we should have to prevent this.

School staff is “100% taxed,” said Jennifer Correnti, director of school counseling at Harrison High School in New Jersey, where counselors have been under strain as they help students acclimate after two school years of pandemic learning disruptions. “Everybody. Administrators, staff. Like, there’s no one that’s escaping. There is no one leaving school feeling amazed every day.”, in particular, are up sharply.

Lopez oversees a caseload of about 400 students at her school in Livingston, California — far more than the ratio recommended by the American School Counselor Association of one counselor for every 250 students.“It’s a huge strain right now,” she said. Many students in her school are the children of farmworkers in a community that was hit hard by COVID-19 infections and deaths. She worries about missing something important.

I am confused. Kids were run over in the parade by a racist black guy and you did not run stories like this. Why? Are you admitting those people did not matter?

This country has 350 million people, these things happened in the past and will happen in the future. Maybe if the democrats were less divisive it would happen less.

Chicago should cry out for help daily then, right?

School counselors sound cry for help after Buffalo shootingEvery school, it seems, has a moment that crystallizes the crisis facing America’s youth and the pressure it is putting on educators. For one middle school counselor in rural California, it came this year after a suicide prevention seminar, when 200 students emerged saying they needed help. They dropped the ball. Stop making excuses. 99% of teachers are just like everyone else and they are more interested in what's for breakfast and lunch rather than how our children are doing.

The supermarket shooting in Buffalo, New York, that was carried out by an 18-year-old who had been flagged for making a threatening comment at his high school highlights their concerns about their ability to screen students who might show the potential for violence. No no, can't be the government fault. It's what they do. Close all mental institutions, turn the mentally challenged out on the street. They got rights as in buying guns, ammo, ect. Use it to attack citizens to take their rights so they can't defend themselves

School counselors sound cry for help after Buffalo shootingFor one middle school counselor in rural California, it came this year after a suicide prevention seminar, when 200 students emerged saying they needed help. Another school counselor in Massachusetts tells of a high school student who spent two weeks in a hospital emergency room before he could get an inpatient bed in a psychiatric unit. For many schools, last weekend’s shooting rampage in Buffalo, carried out by an 18-year-old who had been flagged for making a threatening comment at his high school last year, prompted staff discussions on how they might respond differently. It's possible that this case could be stopped in advance, but it's a pity!
