Just a bit of optimism. Statistics give your child a better chance of dying in a car accident than in a school shooting. I still plan on protecting my child as much as possible though.
I agree with Rikard in that playing games, especially D&D, allowed me to grow up with a sharper distinction between reality and fantasy. I don't credit D&D for all of this. My mother had a lot to do with it.
It is amazing how many parents don't take an active role in raising their children. You would be amazed (or maybe not) at how many parents respond to concerns over a student's behavior with by saying, "Well I don't know what to do either." It gets very frustrating. I guess I don't entirely understand that line. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make sure my kids grow up to be the best they can.
