- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dr. Robinson, the former superintendent of Newtowns public schools tells the story of the Sandy Hook school shooting with profound insight and eloquence.
Dr. Robinson has a Ph.d in Educational leadership from Connecticut University. She has worked as a superintendent for many years. For five and a half years she was the superintendent of the Newtown school district. She was in this position on the day of the Sandy Hook elementary shooting. Soon after the incident she took a position in Stratford and is now the Superintendent of their public schools.

I was a kid when this happened I struggle with depression anxiety and addiction but I would never consider taking my problem out on others even with my distrust of others which is what makes me seriously distraught that there are people like that out there and that it’s become a norm
Here we are in 2022, and the slaughter is still happening. Unbelievable.
The Slaughter of our Republic...You are absolutely correct. We all lose when this country is destroyed.
Its absolutely horrendous this gun is still available in stores! its like giving psychopaths entitlement over innocent human beings! our gun laws in this country need to be reformed tremendously! I wish we have Australian gun laws, they have zero mass shootings! ZERO!
@@kellybryant6207 A gun free zone gives all murderious psychopaths a meal ticket to go for anyone in sight with a weapon most likely stolen as they will be motivated knowing nobdy will be there armed to stop him.
@@kellybryant6207 There are zero mass shootings huh? Ok how many innocent people have been assaulated by thugs with guns and batons, rubber bullets, tear gas or even real bullets? For protesting their rights being removed by a corrupt govt? I can't count. Gun laws do not keep criminals from acquiring guns ya ninny!
@@kellybryant6207 Ok so zero mass shootings but many small shootings then.
Imagine hearing about a school shooting in an elementary school and your first thought is "mah guns mah rights! Must be fake because i don't like it!"
You were imagining you were in an elementary school when you heard about a school shooting?
What is a "mah"?
You come on any video about Sandy Hook and always say Imagine something at the beginning then tell everyone how dreadful it was. When does this stop?
You make it sound so simple people actually watched hours and hours of videos where they saw stuff that seem to not make sense. people are not figuring assholes that you think they are but the media would like you to think that.
I lived in a neighboring town when this happened. New Milford, Connecticut. All schools in the area were under lockdown. I never did understand what happened until I was maybe 13. I learned that my mother's science teacher lost her child. Her child was named Olivia. About ten years later, I now think about it and I fear the rest of my schooling. I am a senior now. I cry every December 14th knowing what happened to children that were my age. The fear is still real ten years later. This is still something we have to worry about now.
Thank so much
Nice talk but I was hoping for more info on the shooter and not just a play by play of this woman’s life
So like Dunblane in Scotland. What a senseless tragedy
I watched a documentary with the priest there who had to do the funerals of all the children. It was heartbreaking. Just as bad as Sandy Hook.
Turn off the comments, I'm tired of seeing spammers and trolls and sensitive little snowflakes everywhere I go!
What’s up with the term snowflake? Is it to describe people who care about something that you don’t?
I agree that the comments should be turned off, but I say this because of the misinformation being spread about the death of over two dozen children
@@volcanoherogc6057 I got great news for both of you. I have direct knowledge of a full proof way to "turn off comments". It's genius really. Assuming you have full control of your body all you need to do is......not scroll down. Didn't I tell you......genius. It gets better, you can also try......averting your eyes. Yep, problem solved. And you are welcome folks. Glad I could be of assistance. If you take those simple instructions, then you solve your problem and you do so without causing other problems like denying others the right to make or read comments themselves. This is a freedom we've all been given. The right to read and make comments and the right not to if you so choose.
Dr. Robinson. I apologize maybe you didn’t research enough about the details. Everything that Wolfgang Halbig said made sense to me.
What Wolfgang was dealing with was total tyranny.
To many unanswered questions just look at the way the cars are parked in the parking lot all facing the school who parks like that and in the empty parking spaces and then when the cars were gone there’s not one oil stain in the parking lot go look at any big box store and there’s oil and antifreeze stains all over the parking lot even with new vehicles that’s just one of many oddities or 500 kids in the school that day . NoPhotos or news videos of the 450 some Surviving students
@@joecummings9662 There are hundreds of things that don't jive. The lot is NOT even compiant with today's disabilities act for parking lots. Look for the Handicap parking signs. IT's absolutely stinking. That school was a cesspool of mold, toxic pcb's and asbestos. I mean just look at it before it was demolished and hauled off. Just like the WTC's.
Dude, I was in first grade back when this video got released. Luckily, this dude lived in Connecticut , which allowed me to be safe.
Did you get permission everytime so you are allowed to be safe?
Do you ever try the duck fast method in case you ever encounter a raging maniac with a gun?
Get back in your cage now...DUDE!
Story. Exactly
We will always and forever remember the Sandy Hook shooting victims and their grieving families. 😔
Interesting a pity this tragedy was politicized far too soon.
Reading the narrative!!!
Ar-15 rifles are not assault rifles, saying so shows either a lack of understanding of the issue or a political agenda being pushed in the background.
My heart goes to the victims' families. It's not the intention of my comment to minimize the tragedy that these people went and are going through, I just hate when biased people use tragedies to push an agenda.
It isn't an agenda to acknowledge that guns are a problem, its just an obvious fact and sad that tragedies have to happen before people realize it
@@Sputterbugz I don't find it obvious that guns are the problem. People have been killing each other on mass since long before the invention of gun powder and, in fact, some of the deadliest massacres in recent history have been without a single shot fired (like the Bastille day massacre).
It's time for people to stop blaming an inanimate object for something that's clearly the fault of a mental health epidemic we're not adressing.
It appears to me and so many other's that this narrative of “guns are the problem” stems from the fact that firearms are one of the very few tools a free society can utilize to stand up to tyrany, and I say that coming from a country with draconian gun laws and a tyranical state, so yeah, I'm aware that it's a political agenda being pushed because they used the same tactic here 40 years ago.
@@Sputterbugz People wanting other people to fix their problems for them is the problem.
@@constitutionaldennis it definitely is because of the gun control agenda. She mentioned the AR-15 by name every time she could, as if it's some brand new killing machine and not a 50+ year old design. I'm from Connecticut, the gun laws they passed immediately after classified anything that was semi auto, pistol grip, and detachable magazine as an "assault weapon", plus you need a permit just to buy ammo. But of course everything already owned was grandfathered in, so it was just a feel-good law to pretend they did something. You used to be able to mail order a full auto Thompson shipped right to your door, and in that age there wasn't a surge of school shootings. You're absolutely right it's a mental health problem disguised as a gun control problem, because we currently have the strictest gun laws in American history and school shootings still happen.
@@Mark-rv2ty i don't think open carry is strict
The Ar-15 is not an assault rifle
Shut
^ up
He ar in AR-15 stands for Assault Rifle
Know your acronyms
@@volcanoherogc6057 hey im not with none of these conspiracy theorists and i'm pro gun control. But the ar actuallly stands for Armalite rifle after the company that makes it. They are still very dangerous but not assault rifles.
@@volcanoherogc6057 An acronym is an abbreviation that spells another word, NATO, COD, or VAT. Abbreviations that don't spell other words are just abbreviations.
Know your definitions, and learn some punctuation.
AR-15 is not an assault rifle
really? that's the stance you're taking with an event that resulted in 26 dead people? Ugh
“AR-15 assault rifle” lmaoooooo 😂😂
That’s funny how
@@Neveahbrooklyn because an AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle. That’s funny. Not what happened.
Wtf bro In the Name AR (ASSAULT RIFLE)
@@zatimaxs2162 ArmaLite is the manufacturer of the firearm, and so gets the designation AR(malite).
I mean it's not hard to pull the trigger 20 to 30 times pretty fast into a group of targets and hit them all. This whole argument of AR vs not an AR is pointless in a situation where only one person has a gun. Only in gun battle does the specific weapon really matter much. Unless you're walking into an enclosed space with a bolt action rifle or a weapon you have to manually chamber, the gun is winning 99 percent of the time so does it really matter much?
F E A R I S A L I A R
And the whole town got all their houses paid off on Christmas day and they all lived happily ever after.
wolfetever 00 What are you talking about?
How dare you say such a heartless thing. Know One needs to read comments like yours. You are one if the minds that have been waisted in and on the net.
There weren't any crime scene photos
@@MassiveMouniFlaps and how do you know this?🙄
@@flblackbutterfly1 they can't release photos of dead kids not even blurred. Very convenient. Just believe what they say.
I was in 5th grade. :( The teacher talked too us about it the next day
Who wrote the script for you, DHS?
While you were leaning against that red fire truck with 5 helicopters hovering overhead wouldn't it have been nice if the helicopters had been called for medavac and saved those slaughtered children?
We are on to your sick agenda.
Most of those children died from multiple gunshot wounds. And with those kinds of bullets, the damage they would cause in those poor kids’ bodies is awful. I think most of them died almost immediately. Medics got there as quickly as possible, and as far as i know, they were only able to find 1-2 kids who were still alive. And we’re taken to the hospital.
@@maddiebalderas208 no they did not get there as fast as they could… they were told to go to the fire station and not proceed to the school they were also told to leave their cell phones and drivers license with the captain of the fire station the ambulances did not get to the school and the paramedics did not get into the school over an hour after the initial call and there still was no medavac…you don’t know what you’re talking about…
@@Dartanian1972 lmao okay Bud. I have no idea what i’m talking about.
weirdo
@@Dartanian1972 it’s actually you who has no clue what ur talking about. What you are saying is just NOT factual. Not sure where you got that info bud but you need better sources.
Liars. Liars. Liars. Hope the parents kept those Christmas present receipts.
Strange she said the families of sandyhook are still suffering from nightmares of that tragedy but all the videos that immediately after it the families say how they’ve overcome it and how strong they are bc of it …plus they are all smiling and acting rather strangely to be honest …it’s just exactly the opposite of what this broad is saying
How can these paid shills live with themselves. Does she even have a brain to research for herself?
Do the world a favor and shut up Roku Kun The Vyonder!
