A group of teachers thought it would be a good idea to fake a gunman attack on students during a class trip for a bunch of sixth graders. The "teaching experience" went so far as to have the kids hide under tables in the dark while someone in a hooded sweatshirt tried to come in their locked room. Kids were crying and begging for their lives. Outraged parents were heard as far away as Arkansas.
Here's a tip from me: The world is cruel soon enough without forcing sixth graders to face their own mortality on a field trip to a state park. Someone should beat these people down with an iron skillet.
Fire. Everyone. Involved.
Seriously though, it's not just Tennessee. Most public school teachers are the dumbest and laziest people you will meet.
If just one of those 11 year olds had been armed....
Anonymust,
Public school teachers have to deal with fulfilling all standardized test requirements (there are five exams per student here in NM every year) for their students, communicate with parents on a weekly basis, satisfy all of the requirements for licensure in their particular state, put together materials for their classroom using their own money (average being $800.00 annually), and somewhere in between all of that they find time to shape the knowledge of most of the children in this nation. That doesn't include taking care of a family at home. I am sure that I have missed a few things in the list, but there you are.
Perhaps your teachers only appeared lazy to you because they had given up on your ignrant ass long ago.
Oh, and those teachers shuold get in a lot of trouble for what they did, but they do not represent all teachers in the slightest!
As a dumb, lazy public school teacher I agreed half-heartedly with Yucca's response on this one.
Yucca your heart is in the right place, but maybe checking your post for spelling errors before "adios mofo"-ing it would help the legitimacy along....just a thought.
Sorry - hard to type when building lesson plans on my own time and taking care of two children under the age of 2. The "anonymust" is spelled just as the author of the aforementioned post spelled it. I did mispell ignorant, though...I never said we were perfect - just hard-working.

No shit, the next day's drill should have been: "What to do when a mad man breaks into your classroom and beats hell out of our teacher".
