Arm teachers?
As a combat veteran, let me be perfectly clear, no way, not me, that happens and I'm out.

Not sure that's the best approach but I hope that those families are healing in the midst of all this!

Teachers don't need guns in classes, we need guards or police

That’s scary. 😬
No guard or armed police for us in elementary.

We have armed staff. Could be custodial, could be principal, could be teacher. Our community suggested it and we all love it. Makes us feel safe knowing that if a shooting does take place. We dont have to wait for the police to get there. We also have police officers on campus. It feels safe and because the public and students know, it makes our school less of a target.

I looked into cost of metal detector entry door frames and grants but the district would not allow it because it looked bad for publicity. Do you think the parents in Texas care about student safety or public image now?

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
