How do you think we should resolve the issue of school shootings in the US?

Maybe a good place to start is to look at the differences between today’s students and students when there weren’t school shootings. Look at the differences between family sizes, between whether both parents worked or not, between two parents and single parent households.

How many shooters had no one at home waiting for them when they returned home after school? How many shooters had no brothers or sisters to share and interact with and learn how to get along with?

This isn’t about assessing blame but more to suggest that maybe schools should find ways to fill the gap for what may have been missing from kids home life.
