30.01.2025 18:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yup! Here in Antioch, at that. It's really crazy... very very crazy.
I'm trying to get out of the rabbit hole on info about the shooter, but... alas.
And while the kid wrote a manifesto and we now know was heavily involved in incel communities online, as well as anti-Semitic communities, from interviews with his classmates, it sounds like no one really expected this from him. So...
Ultimately, he just didn't need access to a gun.
I just wanna scream "It doesn't matter what we do so long as guns are easy to access..." The district just got a multi-million dollar grant to implement electronic weapon detection and that STOPPED NOTHING.
Three SROs employed at that school. STOPPED NOTHING.
I'm tired of schools becoming the punching bag for all of society's failures. It is exhausting. People think of schools as these non-feeling containers when they're made up of people who care a lot and work hard.
It's just really hard to see the complaints directed at us and not leaders.
I think, though, this time around I'm more frustrated by the calls for metal detectors. The demands that schools institute very prison-like procedures. All because our local, state and federal government categorically refuse gun laws.
23.01.2025 19:03 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0At no point was that school villainized. They were rightfully praised for their quick action and the staff who lost their lives memorialized for their sacrifice.
This school is predominantly Black and Hispanic. So.. I think we see why there's a difference.
Thought this hasn't gotten much national attention, it is obviously all over local news. There's been villainization of the school itself and our district.
Interestingly, a school shooting in this city two years ago got a lot of attention. It was a white Christian school.
TW: school shooting
There was a school shooting very close to home (literally and figuratively) yesterday. Haven't seen it really blow up in national news which is a testament to how desensitized we are. Two students dead, one in critical condition.

And they're having FUN.
Whew. It's going to be a wild ride.
The unwillingness (inability?) to just be better is what gets me.
Yβall not even shamed that you have to handicap entire swaths of people in order to compete.
She is doing the right thing. Absolutely. Very proud to know her.
ANNNNND. Can I get a hint???
And they don't feel the least bit stupid when they do it which is the wildest part to me.

TN is a red state, but they're gonna focus on the crime in Nashville and Memphis - blue counties - and say that's the reason we don't have law and order statewide.
It's NEVER their fault.
Thank you for explaining!
13.01.2025 22:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That makes a TON of sense. I like the way succinct containment refers to all of those things. I might have to start teaching my staff and families about that.
We all know it's one thing to be diagnosed and a whole other thing to manage it. Very important.
Made a hiring decision.
And I'm hoping I don't regret it. It's not the decision I wanted to make, but I think it's the decision I needed to make.
I'm likely going to have to kickstart our new working relationship with a hard conversation.
See how we used to be a proper country?

13.01.2025 22:08 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Y'all seen the little baby who was crying cause she had to stand up for Beyonce cause Beyonce wasn't there and who else was gonna do it?
I feel confident she'll be getting some flowers and a toy here shortly. As she should. Poor thing.
I'm not even gon hold you. I'm peeved that I'll be in a tech free all day step back tomorrow.
I'm not gon be tech free til I know the announcement... but I'm still pre-annoyed.
What I wanna know is...
What time? Like... does the post go live 12am Eastern? Is it midday? Like girl. People got jobs!
You made the right choice.
