ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[BigMark]

We haven't updated this since January, yet there has been a school shooting.

I lied. I lied to my kids today in second period. I told them it was just a drill. I told them to get behind my couches (thank GOD I ditched desks and have bulky furniture!) and be quiet - the more quiet we are the faster the drill will end. I knew it was a lie. I knew this was what I always plan my furniture arrangement for every year. My kids were able to just hide and not panic for over 10 minutes, until we heard the banging on doors, walkie talkies, and yelling in the hallway. Then I had to come clean. My kids - and that’s what they are. Not just students. They are MY KIDS- were so brave. They still trusted me and did exactly what I asked. I felt so helpless. 18 of my kids. And all I could do was ask them to listen to me and to hide. It was the worst 20 minutes of my career. 18 kids. Depending on me. Anna somewhere in the building unable to get to me, or me to her. No idea what’s going on. More yelling, banging on doors. Finally the door is opening and we’re evacuated to the football field. Cops everywhere. Guns pointed at us as we leave. And still they do exactly what I ask. My kids. Frantically looking for Anna until I have her with me. All 19 of my kids safe. My planning paid off. Planning I wish I had never had to actually execute.

Supposedly his mom called the school to warn them 30 minutes before the shooting.
