I am confused when people say “we did nothing after Sandy Hook”. Every teacher I know became painfully aware of how tenuous, yet strong school safety must be. I cried with President Obama. Yet I went on that year and continued teaching. Scared, but not afraid. Maybe the gun industry doesn’t regulate as called for, but people firm their resolve and understand that we must be vigilant about protecting our children and schools. School safety has changed tremendously. Not what we really consider the best environment, but definitely a safer environment.

I believe that our vigilance and determination in all matters will ensure the change that we demand.

You, of course, are absolutely right. I ought to have been more specific. Was responding more to the " defining monent" idea as a country, the moment we actually, as a society, would do something about our gun problem. Have greatest admiration for brave teachers and truly hope that schools are a safer environment.
