Jeff AKA Snoopy 02/15/18 10:26:47 AM #1:	I got a little choked up when one of the students asked what I would do in that situation. It's kinda sad to think some of them think we (teachers) wouldn't put our life on the line for them. Even as a sub. I told them I would 100% do my best to ensure none of them would be in the line of fire. As a Canadian we've only had one major school shooting in the last like 10 years or so, so it is unlikely... but damn. --- https://i.imgtc.com/5AQormY.gif <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:896130018] in As a teach...

Mr_Biscuit 02/15/18 10:28:16 AM #2:	Weve had 30 school shootings in the last month in America. I work in a high school too, and we dont even really talk about it anymore. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:896130083] in As a teach...

Jeff AKA Snoopy 02/15/18 11:42:27 AM #4:	I talked to my students more on how the media will report such things rather than the actual event. As a teacher I want to focus on critically viewing the world around you. Everything published is for the purposes of reflecting certain principles and ideologies. --- https://i.imgtc.com/5AQormY.gif <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:896133800] in As a teach...

TheGrindery 02/15/18 11:48:38 AM #6:	My kids' school has awesome security. Bullet resistant glass and you gotta be buzzed in. A cop patrols that area all day. Population is under 4,000 here, though. <cite>TheGrindery posted [p:896134157] in As a teach... [t:76321643]...</cite> <quote>My kids' school has awesome security.

We have done drills for this thing though. We call them emergency drills and we don't tell students it is about school shootings, just for things beyond fire. --- https://i.imgtc.com/5AQormY.gif <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:896134992] in As a teach...
