"We refuse to get an education and will screw up our future ambition to attend college"
If they're shot they wont make college anyway. Besides, college is a waste of time, they should go to trade schools instead of those woke, communist campuses, right?! Isn't that how the conservative view of college is?
I'd have walked out years ago for wasting my time on useless, damaging, and erroneous information being taught. Thank God I went to school when they still taught facts and things worth teaching.
I agree. If I were a kid today, there would be no way I would go to school, I would be fighting with my parents everyday not to send me. When my niece was going to school she told me how the doors are locked and nobody from the outside could get in, so I told her the shooter could be one of her fellow students (I was telling her some ways she might protect herself). She told me please not to tell her another student might be a shooter because she would be too scared to finish school. Thankfully she graduated safely with no incidents.
maybe if the adults laid out all the facts/stats for them, they wouldn't be as worried.
an infinitesimally small % of students will ever be exposed to guns being used at schools. Sure, all the students at the elementary school were exposed to it. Any other students in Uvalde have been exposed to it. The students at the school in Michigan - exposed to it.
But students on the other side of Texas, in other states, etc - they haven't been exposed to it.
Some dip**** brought a gun into my child's high school (in his backpack) and got caught. We didn't suddenly rush out and get counseling for every kid, or consider them fear-shocked.
I thought after Parkside that all schools had established locked doors, and getting buzzed in. Apparently that's not the case, though it is in my county-wide 180 school system and certainly every urban district in the state. You're not talking even $10K/school for this.
Then you won't be going to the toy store or movies either or fast food, taking public bus or going to a game. Shootings there. The odds of dying by a mass shooter in school are less than 0.01%. You have a better chance of dying choking from the school food than a shooter.
This generation are full of wimps and soft people.
it's the information being fed them, like "200+ shootings IN school this year".
