[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If an entire state or [b]even if an entire county did this[/b], they aren't going to be able to replace us all.  This is in the works people.  I'd start thinking of at least some kind of back up childcare for late April-whenever.  But I suspect it won't take that long.  I give legislators a week before they cave.  Teachers have mega power if we use it right.  Now is the time to use it and this is the right thing to use it for.  April 20th.[/quote]

You're not going to get all teachers to agree to this. No way.

In the past we haven't even been able to get a substantial number of county (Fairfax) teachers to participate in a "work to the rule" work action.

I'm not familiar with work actions or the rule you're talking about, but a quick google search tells me that they were trying to make sure that no teacher did more than the bare minimum. If that's what you're referring to, then that pretty much sucks, and I can see why teachers (and for sure parents) didn't support it. Trying to achieve a safe(r) working environment for teachers AND school environment for kids by doing the following has nothing to do with getting teachers to do the bare minimum at work - it's about ensuring that teachers ARE ABLE to do that minimum (or whatever they choose to do) without being mowed down by bullets:

- banning all semi-automatic weapons
- making sure that everyone conducts training and has a background check (no psychological concerns) before being permitted for a firearm 
- introducing high taxes on both firearms and ammunition, that is earmarked for public safety mitigation (lockdown equipment, first responder services, hospital costs for gun-related shootings, public training, etc)
- having a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for non-permitted firearms and/or use by people other than those authorized to use them. not sure yet what the consequences should be, but they should be significant enough to be a strong deterrent.[/quote]
