Yeah I don't know how sustainable this will be.
Kids are amazing really - it's easy to say 'they have no respect anymore' or whatever but they are amazing creatures and worthy of the best we can give them. I wouldn't have been a teacher so long in the first place if I didn't believe that. The problem is the whole system around them which gets in the way of doing stuff that would make the education system better for them. So many teachers give blood for it because they really care, but ultimately can't sustain it.
'Make sure no one dies' - well, we don't have gun issues like that in Australia. I can't recall a scchool shooting ever, and can't imagine living somewhere where it could. That's so bananas to me.
All jokes aside, it's probably anaphalaxis that kids will die of - so many are allergic to nuts!!!!!!!

you saying that shows me that for you teaching isnt a job, its a vocation, a passion perhaps to bring out the best in children and is great to see
Growing up in NZ the concept of kids being able to get access too and then take to school and use guns is so bizarre to me and freakign scary thinking of my grandkids in schools here
