Was the shooter's mom a teacher, an aide, or a frequent volunteer?

News reports keep calling her a teacher, but, if so, who was running the classroom?

Was it a sub?

Or?

1. She was dead--she couldn't go to work. nt

2. I've heard everything in the book

from the stupid media who get everything from the net rather than follow up.

Last I heard, she was not a teacher at all. She was at home, had guns at home, the kid killed her first then rampaged the school. He probably had Asperger syndrome, psychological and social problems and the motive may have been a divorce.

I have no idea if that is correct or not because the scenario has changed all day long.

10. They said a personality disorder. Asperger and Autism are given to a lot of kids who exhibit

Strange or antisocial behavior. When the kids get older, it's often discovered that they have a disorder such as schizophrenia, or personality disorders.

3. Here's link to an article with a bunch of info... regarding her work, alimony, etc...

-snip-

For years, Nancy Lanza, 54, whom Adam murdered inside the home he and his mom shared, worked as a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But she stopped working in recent years and was taking care of her son.

“She needed to be home with Adam,” the family insider said.

7. I don't know why someone with a disturbed young person in their home

would keep guns in their home. If it was because she was afraid of him, maybe he should not have been in the house, but rather someplace where he could get help.

8. Aspergers is not full on Autism

Indeed it is very low on "The Spectrum" and is even being removed as a diagnosis from DSM-5. This complaint rarely renders the sufferer dangerous.

11. it seemed bad enough for her to quit work to stay with him at home even though he is legally

an adult.

12. My thoughts exactly.

4. She had quit teaching to stay home with Adam.

That's what they said on Dateline tonight. Sounded like a couple of years ago.

5. Who knows, at this point...

I heard Mom was a substitute teacher at the school but was not at school Friday...she was killed at home.

The students killed were a class the Mom used to sub in.

9. I read that she was a volunteer TA for the kindergarten class.

6. Interesting question. I'm sure the details will emerge.
