[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 364810, member: 324"] There's been a lot of complaining lately. Sniping about bad teachers. People whining. I have no doubt that there are people who shouldn't be teaching - just aren't cut out for it. And I realize that teachers have bad days too, and they're just people, so they're allowed to be less-than-perfect. But yesterday, there was an active shooter situation called in at Bismarck High School, among many other schools in the state and the midwest. In particular, the science classroom that my daughter was in, was reported to have had gunshots. This wasn't true, but the police arrived quickly. The young female teacher was plenty scared, but had the presence of mind to tell the kids what they might have to use to fight back. Textbooks, chairs, scalpels, etc. A very scary situation for her and the students. She performed well. The kids were calm and listened to instructions. All was resolved. One of the oldest teachers in the school, Mrs Lord-Olson, was on crutches with a broken leg. She positioned herself between the students and her locked classroom door. In my opinion, that showed remarkable bravery in the face of what could have been a nightmare. I'd just like to thank those teachers, for doing what they do. [/QUOTE]
