[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you parents think I like your kids more than I love my own kids?  Newsflash: I do not.

This is a conversation we've all had (teachers) and all these anonymous "I will lay down my life!" messages are honestly very shocking because guess what, in person, ya'll talk about how much you are NOT laying down your lives for other people's kids instead of going home to your own kids.  I'd have thought it would be the opposite; in person you'd wax on about how you'd become a human blanket and on an anonymous board you'd spill the tea about how you're going to be the first one in the back of the corner, ducking for cover.

The designated corner where I'm supposed to huddle my kids is catty-corner to the door.  This baffles me because the safest corner in my classroom is horizontal to the door; no bullets can come through the glass and hit us across the room.  I'm told the reason why it's the back corner is because in a crisis, our fight or flight instinct pushes us to flee backwards to the furthest point, which is that corner.  It's against our human instinct to run to the front of the classroom towards the sound of gunfire, even though that's the safest corner.  I'm worried that my instinct will push me to that safe corner and not the back of the classroom where I'll feel like a sitting duck.

Do I love my child more than my students yes.

Could I really live the guilt that I abandoned a group of children to be shot because a ran away. No. Never.
