We aren't willing to spend the money to have enough teachers and we are supposed to fund armed security guards? Really? Well, armed security guards won't help me or my students avoid an errant gunshot from across 85th Avenue, which our window looks out on.
Meanwhile, here is an update: It turns out that the shooting death of the Grandma I mentioned yesterday was witnessed by several of our students. Also, today the district's building and grounds guys discovered why one of my colleagues has a leak in the roof of her newly constructed classroom -- bullet holes. One of our parents said there were gunshots right across the street last night at about 7:30 and the police didn't come. I am going on Winter Break now.
