Prudence, or Overreaction?
Parents from Fairfax County Public Schools received the following email a few minutes ago:
----
Yesterday’s tragic incident at Virginia Tech involved several FCPS graduates who were
killed or wounded. You may see an increased presence of Fairfax County Police and Virginia
State Police at some of our schools today and possibly throughout the week. This police
presence is in response to the Virginia Tech incident. Please be assured that the police
are onsite to carry out their investigation and to ensure the safety of our students while
they are in school.

So what do you think? Will that make our kids even more nervous? Will stepping up police presence in a county 2 hours away from the shootings do any good? Will their presence make kids feel more secure?
I don't know what to think. The nerves are still a bit too raw.
