Banning 3-ring binders? WOW, I know I am old (76 years old). I am shaking my head at learning this news. How sad for our children to live in this society where going through metal detectors is how schools start every day. This action normalizes the violence in our society. Rather than take necessary steps to prevent violence we are accepting it as a way of life? The fear our children experience every day begins as they enter the school building. This puts kids on high alert and in a state of hyper vigilance before they even enter the classroom to begin learning.
This is traumatic for our children. It is not an environment I want for my grandchildren and for generations to come. I sadness I feel as I read this article is profound and deeply disturbing. Sigh.
