I can hardly understand the torture that "reliving" that nightmare is for the parents and other children involved in that tragedy. If we as parents, if the law enforcement agencys can learn something from this so that we are better equiped to prevent a similar tragedy in the future than the deaths of those young people will not be in vain.
What bother's me most is all the blaming that seems to be going on. There was a slip in many hands. All of the blame belongs to no single group. As a teacher I found that the students who excelled the most were not necessarily the smartest ones. The ones who excelled were the ones who's parents communicated with me regularly, who were more involved with the children, and the ones who know where their children were or what they were doing the most. Thing is they couldn't have helped their child as much without me the teacher, and without the school authorities. They were also the parents who greeted and talked to other parents when they would come to school meetings or pick up their kids. They were involved with their children, the classroom, the school, and their child's friends and parents. It takes a collective effort to help our children grow up healthy physically and emotionally.
