"It has been a source of great frustration during our careers that this topic seems to have been largely avoided. We have often heard, 'Well, if teachers program correctly, that just shouldn't happen.' In reality, no teacher is perfect, and regardless of the best intentions and efforts of educators, sometimes dangerous situations do arise. So we are not going to avoid this topic, but rather confront it honestly and head-on in hopes of providing guidance to other teachers who may also be frustrated. This crisis has been many years in the making and has multiple roots."
