> Teachers are now on YouTube reviewing the latest bullet proof backpacks for kids.

Reading this, my first thought was 'This must be a joke, surely'. But, sadly, it isn't.

My daughter is starting kindergarten this fall (was in daycare prior). Down the road from me, someone shot at a bus. I've accepted the fact that in the next 12 years of my daughter's life, she WILL be impacted directly or indirectly by a school shooting. They sell inserts you can put in a backpack, which I will def consider. They don't 100% stop all bullets by something is better than nothing.
