Take a guess.
Yet only one CEO 🤔
Education system is truly broken
The year ain’t over, and I’d bet money that the shootings ain’t, either.
Won’t most American schools be on their break by now?
Next week for us.
Part of the reason we left the US. Our city had a terrorist attack (by a Muslim so instead of a mass office shooting it was deemed such), we had an acquaintance who was killed in the Las Vegas concert shooting, and our kids should was locked down 9 times that year for fear of gun violence.
It’s Koo Koo land.
Wow…just wow. But other countries have it rough too. In the last 50yrs I witnessed more than 2 power outages that took over 30mins, close to an hour to fix. We’re not perfect either 😁
I mean, I get it. A drunk guy has been stealing our Christmas ornaments one at a time off our front store window…
…the fear is palpable
Oh jeez. How is one supposed to recover from that?
I had power out with a newborn for like 5 days in the winter once… 30min sounds nice.
Oh man,that is horrible. Where did that newborn come from? Must’ve been aweful to have one for 5 days.
Power company was giving them away. It was weird they all had a musky smell to them.
Oh man, no thanks. The dark I can live with, but some sudden surprise stinky newborn? I gotta draw a line there.
I’m guessing roughly 1 a day.
I want to add, it’s not shocking. It is impossible to afford any kind of real mental health care. $50 sessions for a therapist are only worth their weight in gold; only if you can afford it.
If you or your child needed therapy you are looking at ~7 hours of minimum wage once a week in order to afford it assuming you have insurance.
We don’t take mental health seriously in the United States.
school shootings, more like 1-2 a week.
Regular mass shootings are up to 8 in a day.
Actually, @POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com is closer. There have been 323 in the US this year which makes it 0.93 school shootings per day or 1.79 school shootings per school day in the US (assuming 180 school days a year)
https://edition.cnn.com/us/school-shootings-fast-facts-dg/index.html says it’s “only” 83 this year?
They’re running with different definitions, is all. Given every school shooting is highly preventable, either number is valid.
My numbers are coming from the K-12 School Shooting Database. They probably use different definitions. The stat I was going by was just what I saw most articles in my country going by (Australia).
Cost of doing business.
I cheated. Holy smoke!
So what’s official number?
All of them?

Is it 2024?
I think I hear about a school shooting about once every two or three months. And, I believe underreporting at a national level paired with myself not having time to keep up means that I hear about roughly one in every hundred shootings.
Typically there’s about 180 days of school per year.
Crunching some vague math, my guess seems preposterous: ~340 school shootings in 2024. That’s almost two per day. But, the more I thought about it the less preposterous it seemed.
TL;DR - My guess is a seemingly preposterous 340 school shootings in 2024, or almost 2 per school day.
323, according to Google. Idk if that includes yesterday’s.
