when the armed gunman came onto school grounds. Before Sandy Hook. After that? We talked about the similarities. The entire school staff talked about ARMED teachers after Sandy Hook. Very few wanted that, including all of us working in that classroom with the Pre-K kids. Maybe because the 3 of us (2 Paras and one Teacher) were from NYC, Chicago, and Flint, Michigan. All of us had our own experiences with gun violence growing up from where we lived.
