[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was another thread after the FL shooting where a bunch of teachers admitted they’d not take a bullet for their students. I’ll see if I can find it here.

I get it. Teaching is a job. Teachers are people not martyrs. We don’t expect people in other professions to jump in front of bullets. There’s like 1 job that has that requirement: secret service agent. [/quote]

Yes, one of the students claimed that a teacher closed the door to the classroom before he could get inside. He banged on the door but the teacher wouldn’t open.[/quote]

Two different teachers, one tried to save as many kids as possible, the other shut the door and left children in the hallway:

The second is OP's husband.[/quote]

Florida teachers are instructed to leave children in the hall once they've secured their classroom. The only variation I've ever heard is for lower elementary grades, because it's unlikely that the shooter is a 6 year old. How the State rationalized it is: In an active shooter situation we do not know who is the shooter, how many shooters, location of shooters. Once that classroom is secure NO ONE can go in and out until LEO arrives and escorts you out. If a teacher takes a chance and opens a door for a student, they risk the lives of the students in the classroom. Save the many, sacrifice the few. That's the mentality teachers are instructed to have here. [/quote]
