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. Michael J Sylvester,PhD Daytona Beach,Florida
