……so you still think armed teachers…..is a great idea?…….think again…..
I’M A 7th GRADE TEACHER IN TEXAS. I JUST QUIT MY JOB…..
We had a meeting today about what to do if in active shooter comes into our classroom……no, not with the school board…..I was instructed by the vice principal of our school to hold a meeting with the students…..12-year-old students…..I teach a class of 23 on average….8 showed up today (in total, for all 4 periods of my class, as in I taught my morning class with only 2 students in it) after the Uvalde shooting…….I spent period after period instructing no more than 3 children at a time…..what to do if someone comes to end their lives……how some children only survive if the hide under another dead child…..or wipe the blood of deceased children on their bodies……the children were silent and scared…..and one of them passed out…..it’s a week before Summer vacation starts……but no one is excited, no one is happy…….I decided by my last period that fuck it…..these kids don’t need to be taught anymore about death right now…..I let them fuck around on their phones and eat the candy from my special drawer……I only teach 4 classes……all 50 minutes long……I teach one at 8:30….one at 10……one at 11 and my last one is at 1…..Then I spend the rest of my time grading…..I have seen a lot of shit in my 5 years of teaching…..including a kid who took a poop in his locker……But this broke me…..I can’t do it anymore……after my last period class I told the principal…..I wasn’t coming back…..it isn’t worth 17/hour…..it isn’t worth health insurance…..that only pays after I pay $10,000 dollars……it isn’t worth getting attached to these children to see them die…..and yeah sure,….it probably won’t happen to me or my class…..but I’m sure the teachers in Uvalde thought the same thing…..I can’t do this anymore…..I’m sorry…..and I don’t remember whom…..but a dear friend shared this very powerful message……
AMERICA IS A GUN
England is a cup of tea
France, a wheel of ripen brie
Greece, a short, squat olive tree
America is a gun
Brazil id football on the sand
Argentina, Maradona’s hand
Germany an oompah band
America is a gun
Holland is a wooden shoe
Hungary, a goulash stew
Australia, a kangaroo
America is a gun
Japan is a thermal spring
Scotland is a highland fling
Oh, better to be anything
Than America with a gun (Brian Bilston)
5 PEOPLE DEAD AT TULSA MEDICAL BUILDING, IN THE 233rd MASS SHOOTING OF 2022…..What, you’re surprised?…..didn’t think so…..I guess this one will be filed under…..mental issues……depending on the race of the person involved…..and one REICH-publican lawmaker has figured out the reason for some many mass shootings…..abortion is to blame…….but one thing is for sure…..guns didn’t have a damn thing to do with that…..and while you’re reading this…..right now….when the shooting in Tulsa went down…..at “THE SAME TIME”…..there was a shooting on Pittston, Pennsylvania…..and at a high school in Los Angeles…..but nope, like the NRA and the politicians they fund say…..guns are not the problem…..true,…..easy access to them is the problem!
