Time for some new ideas for stopping school shootings. What's yours?

70. yes, true... I asked my high school niece recently (who has gone through a traumatic year)

If the school counselor ever checks with her to talk about her day, her emotions, etc. She said she has never talked to the school counselor except a quick discussion about her class schedule for the next year. Placing school psychologists that don't get double dutied into nothing other than covering an administrators work load that was cut for budget reasons would definitely be something that would benefit students. This is bigger than mass shooter issue - goes to teen suicide, drug use, etc.

A lot of troubled kids get shuffled around to alternative schools and ostracized. Some that stay in the public schools might click with a coach or teacher that helps them through it... but it would be a true asset to have a dedicated school psychologist to not only counsel students, but to implement and follow through on policies such as anti-bullying and drug education. They would also be an asset for teachers and staff that need guidance/advice with certain students.
