So many things wrong

1.  Talking points right out of the democratic party playbook
2.  School shootings are extremely rare
3.  People deal with personal issues all the time
4.  Pay scales are widely known
5.  Going on strike hurts students
6.  Parents are in charge of a childs development and molding not teachers

I could go on but I have better stuff to do with my time[/quote]

Ty for confirming her writing. I almost posted the same article, but I’m currently in a happy place at my school. Posters like you are so gross. She tells a story of a time when she was on lockdown for hours for a potential shooting and you still just laugh it off
Democratic Party talking points? This is a woman’s personal experience. I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with people to be this cold hearted[/quote]

Apparently the PP thinks rare school shootings are acceptable.

Yup and bring on lockdown while one your students get arrested it's NBD. Talk about being heartless.

Why are teachers so dumb, failure to grasp basic statistics and understand risk....[/quote]

Lockdowns are fairly common. Basically anytime there is a nearby crime.

Sounds like you don’t grasp what is really happening in schools these days. [/quote]

The first thing we talked about on PD day was all of the safety drills we needed to run during the year.  Fire drills, lockdown drills, evacuation drills, earthquake drill, some others I’m forgetting.  While I understand the statistically probability of a school shooting, it’s hard to put it out of your mind when you are consistently told that your door won’t lock this year and you need a plan of how your students will fight a shooter if it comes to that.

Also lockdowns happen often at schools.  [/quote]

Where are you that has earthquake drills? Just curious.

We have lockdown (once or twice a year practice), tornado and fire. A NoVa district.[/quote]

I have taught at public and private in MD and DC, and had earthquake drills in both places. [/quote]

Thanks. That’s interesting.[/quote]
