Teachers across US question profession, gun laws after Texas school shooting
Teachers across the country now find themselves going through the motions of a process that’s become all too familiar: the visceral pain for those who’ve lost loved ones, the agonizing feat of explaining to their students what happened, the overwhelming anxiety of wondering what would I do in that situation?
The shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, which serves grades 2-4, was the deadliest school shooting since that at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012. Nineteen students and two students were fatally shot.
Mass shootings at schools, and the fear of them, subsided during the pandemic. But for many that fear has quickly returned, and Tuesday’s slaying, they say, made it feel more acute than ever.
"It's so hard to see this and know the capacity for violence that exists in our nation," said Sam Futrell, a middle school social studies teacher in the Richmond, Virginia, area.
