Students of the former Sandy Hook school of Newtown
now have a new remodelled school to attend.The new school
is engineered to replicate the exact structural conditions
of the former classrooms,the rationale being that similarity
of environmental conditions transferred would decrease
stress on students.It seems to me that the opposite could
also be true-stress cues in one condition can also trigger
stress responses in similar conditions.After all the whole
idea of post traumatic stress is that cues can be generalized
and evoke the same social,cognitive,physiological stressful
parameters.
However there was a similar incident of a school shooting
in Scotland years past.The Brits however tightened gun control
after that,but did not see the necessitty to demolish
or transfer the school children to another school.
Now some may say that these were only first and second
graders so the impact may be minimal.Well let us not
forget the iceberg.
