[quote=Anonymous]My principal would NEVER back me up for a parent complaint about this, and, believe me, I would get them, ttypally feom right-wing parents who are paranoid that we are promoting a political agenda, no matter how neutral we are.

Sadly, current events are not on the pacing guide.  Anywhere.  And many, many (most? All?) principals in FCPS consider the pacing guides to be what everyone should be doing, in lockstep.  If you do anything nit on the pacing guide, you aren’t going to be supported in Amy way when a parent raises the roof.

I remember teaching HS back when Columbine happened and spending an entire week with kids discussing, writing about it, writing advocacy letters, etc.  it brought us close as a class community in each of my classes. It helped a lot to process it.

After Sandy Hook, NO ONE in my building acknowledged it.  Literally.  There was nothing.  Like it didn’t happen.  Parents around here are so insanely reactionary and administrators are cowards.  And frankly, I’ve become a coward, too.  I HATE IT, but there are only so many hours in the day and spending hours and hours after school dealing with the fallout from an insane parent (or series of them) is something I have learned to avoid if humanly possible.  I already woke 60 hours a week.  I already have enough stress.  I have a family and this stress is literally taking years off my life.[/quote]
