Students and Teachers Are Writing Wills in Case They Are Killed in a School Shooting

[AnonXxdarkfoxx1]

Over the past few weeks, Allison* has been busy getting ready for her 16th year of teaching high school English. Her back-to-school routine has become habit after so many autumns, but this year is noticeably different. Among the lesson plans, the school supplies, and the class rosters, Allison is also writing her will — in case she is killed in a school shooting.https://www.teenvogue.com/story/student ... l-shooting

It’s like another world now, a nightmare, a Twilight Zone...

Unfortunately this is the new normal and it will be as long as people think their rights to finger guns is more important than human life.

Every adult should have a will. Your occupation shouldn't matter at all. The fact is, she is more likely to die on her way to work than she is at work. All of these people living in fear is asinine.

How sad to live under so much fear. But it is wise to have a will in place, regardless.

My daughter is a teacher and the school recently went through a 16 hour lock down/active shooter situation, resulting in several wounded police officers. There is nothing "asinine" about fearing for your life and being responsible for the lives of children in your care.

I made my first Will when I was 16. That was quite a few years ago. It needed to be done.

I think everyone should have a will regardless of occupation or financial status. My brother died without a will and it’s been difficult trying to settle his estate.
I’ve have a will since I was in my 20’s..
