Thank you all for such wonderful well wishes. I really appreciate it. I am so thankful that he is safe, and I realize we were one of the lucky ones. But I am driving myself crazy about the thought of "What If". It's almost more than I can stand. The thought of the teacher not remembering who my son is, sickens me. Teachers and schools must understand that we entrust them to care for our children. They must be a guardian, a care-giver, a protector. His teacher was not any of those things. Teaching is not just a job, it's a responsibility. And he should be held accountable along with the district who hired him. The self-defense class was being offered as an after-school program at his home school. But there were nearly 10 safety and security infractions regarding the process for the after school program, and that scares me. I don't want another family to feel what we did. Those 40 minutes felt like an eternity, and I felt so helpless. It's horrible. Double check your schools security methods, and test them. If you find gaps, demand a change.
