@Necia_210 I’m not recommending you do anything illegal, but what if your foot accidentally opened the gate, and while sleep walking, you accidentally unchained the dog and brought it somewhere safe? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

@paulzarnett @RexChapman I can’t even get a class set of markers without buying them myself. Schools would almost have to rebuild to make classrooms inaccessible. Schools weren’t designed to function as prisons. We need to tackle the gun problem or nothing will change.

@SaltonCA @elisabeth_pal When teachers say we are completely burned out, this is one of the reasons. Sometimes, no one listens to us. I’m only alive today (probably) because a student called the police from a bus when she saw a gun in a backpack of one of my 1st hour students. He had a list.
