We'll never figure out the "why" of school shootings, because each one is different. Take just three -- compare two famous/infamous/notorious school shootings and compare them to this one. Columbine, Sandy Hook, and now this one.Tom Servo said:Nor can it be solved solely by the psychiatric community, or by politicians, or by educators. We're still figuring out the why of school shootings.
Is there a rock solid common denominator? I submit that there isn't. The Sandy Hook shooter didn't even attend the school he shot up. Therefore we can't expect any one-size-fits-all "solution" to solve anything.
The one thing that's abundantly clear is that making guns illegal in schools has been an abject failure as a "solution."
Mental health professionals? My daughter was under the care of a psychiatrist and a psychologist. They cared her right through (or into) five suicide attempts (after the one that got her started on "therapy"). She has since realized what I knew all along -- the only person who can cure her of depression is herself.
