The 24-year-old teacher died, because she obviously tried to save her pupils. She was married with a policeman who was on the spot as well. :\

Just cried while reading this story.

 

At school today we kept talking about it. We just feel to have to talk about it. The teachers try to get back to daily live but it feels strange. A friend of mine told me this morning that her friends two best friends had been shot and that she had got to know it only this morning.

 

And some really stupid students joked around that they will get masks and pretend to run amok. Everyone who heard this wants them to be suspended for a few days, because that's the last thing we need now. Some idiots making fun of this tragedy.

Well there are lunatics everywhere, it just happened in Alabama recently also.

 

Do German schools have police officers who guard them? Maybe the teachers should be allowed to have guns. Of course any time there is a gun, it should be locked in a combination-safe. That boy's parents learned it the hard way... and to be honest I don't think they cared much about their son's mental health. Most of the blame lies with them.

It's up for discussion if there should be police officers to control who's entering the school and if they have weapons with them, but to be honest I don't think this will happen. The same with the new technology they want to put in every school like chip cards for every student to be allowed to enter the building or finger scans and stuff. We are all afraid that this happens again but most of us think it would be better if those students who are bullyed by others or have some kind of problems get the help they need as fast as possible.

We'll see what they plan to do to make schools safer if there even is a way.

Bad parenting.

not always no

do you know the case inside out, to be able to say that? that's a very judgemental comment. you can't know how their relationship with their son was.

 

Jodi Picoult's novel Nineteen Minutes gives you an idea from all sides of a similar story, which she researched school tragedies to be able to write.

 

From an interview on her website:

 

What facts did you uncover during your research that might surprise readers whose knowledge of school shootings comes solely from media coverage?

Although the media is quick to list the “aberrant” characteristics of a school shooter, the truth is that they fit all teens at some point in their adolescence! Or in other words – these kids who resort to violence are not all that different from the one living upstairs in your own house, most likely – as scary as that is to imagine. Two other facts that surprised me: for many of these shooters, there is the thinnest line between suicide and homicide. They go to the school planning to kill themselves and decide at the last minute to shoot others too. And that, psychologically, a single act of childhood bullying is as scarring emotionally as a single act of sexual abuse. From the point of view of the survivors, I remember being stunned when this young man I interviewed said that afterward, when his parents were trying to be solicitous and ask him if he needed anything, he turned away from them…because he was angry that they hadn’t been like that yesterday, BEFORE. Historically, one of the most upsetting things I learned was that after Columbine, more than one family was told that their child was the first to be killed. It was theoretically supposed to offer them comfort (“my child went first, and didn’t suffer”) but backfired when several families realized they’d been told the same thing.
