When did Active ShooterShooter Drills and Signs of SuicideSigns of Suicide become second nature to classroom teachers? When did we shift from being responsible for content to being responsible for student self-harm and detecting homicidal tendencies in the youth of the nation? In a few short years, a generation of teachers graduated from their own local high schools or left their former careers in the late 1990s and began leading their own classrooms, or even their own schools across the country.
