The latest shooting at Alapachee High School makes a parent think about how we can keep our kids safe when violence seems to keep finding schools.

What are some precautions you take with your kids?

Does your school have metal or weapons detectors?

What other safety measures do you take?

im going to homeschool. lot less to worry about there! between shootings, bullying, cliquey attitudes, rampant secular influences, propaganda, and dumbed-down learning that gets worse every year, its just not worth public schools, and the private ones have their own downsides sometimes too.

How do you prepare your kids for school violence?

We homeschooled. It protected our children from the physical violence of bullying as well as the mental and spiritual violence done by teachers who are bureaucrats more than Christian.
