An anecdotal thing courtesy of my 9th grader (home for lunch on the first day of exam week) ... assembly for the HS this morning before starting exams, the administration described to the students how they were in the process of revising all lockdown procedures and that details would be forthcoming soon. Somewhere in the announcement the associate headmaster made reference to Columbine ... and my son said there was considerable discussion, particularly amongst the seniors behind him along the lines of "what's that? What's he talking about? what's Columbine?"
These are, FTR, some exceptional academic students, all of whom will be entering colleges & universities across the country and around the world next fall. (including several Ivy's and most of the top notch academic locations you'd want to name).
My child was beside himself.
