We had a “Firework Shooting” on Thursday. It was terrifyingly traumatic. : Teachers

https://old.reddit.com/r/Teachers/comments/pvg961/we_had_a_firework_shooting_on_thursday_it_was?sort=controversial

During lunch, a group of students thought it would be funny to light off about 100 firecrackers in one of the stairwells. What proceeded afterwards was nothing short of mass hysteria and panic.

Only in yankeestan. In my country no one REEEE;s about "muh mass shottings!" when some children light off firecrackers in class

fiirwerks!

I was sitting in my classroom eating lunch with some students when a student of my runs into my room to announce there’s a shooter on campus. I look out my window from the second floor and see about 100 students running across the bus circle and hitting the fence to jump it, fleeing onto a busy road for safety. It turns out, all over campus students were running for their lives.

As a former student I imagine a lot of them were just running because it meant they could get out of class.

:marseywhirlyhat: :marseykyle:

An announcement comes on, but my incompetent administrator yells something incomprehensible and it cuts out (the intercoms have been absolute shit at my school for years).

lol

I later heard stories that teachers were locking students out of their rooms, panicking with the hysteria, and making matters much worse than needed

LMAO. Imagine going back to english class the next day knowing Mrs bitcherson left you to fricking die

it’s just a prank bro

This is the USA school schootings happen routinely. Nobody is expecting to hear firecrackers going off in the middle of class, I would have panicked as well.

Idk about expelled but the kids definitely need punished.

Imagine caring enough to know this lmao.

Imagine caring about the safety of children left to your care

Routinely enough to justify alarm in this situation.

It doesn't fricking matter if they're rare lmao, we've had enough large/high profile shootings that it's completely understandable people in this scenario would panic.

Like my god man, how can you possibly deny this? If you heard what sounded like gunshots going off in school, you'd think literally nothing of it?

We should absolutely legislate around panic. I got scared when I saw a black, build the ethnostate now. My fear demands it.

A string of firecrackers sounds nothing like a gun going off lol.

A) Not when you're familiar with gun shots.

B) Not when you're close enough to them and there are no other factors.

Setting off a string of fireworks in a closed hallway can absolutely be heard as gunshots for most people in the building, especially when the people in the building are likely inexperienced.

If you're r-slurred anything can sound like anything. Also how do I know you'll always reply within like 30 seconds?

This is genuinely a level of mental illness I don't know how to deal with.

Like, the fact hundreds of people fled out of a school in a panic outright proves I'm right. Why do you think they were so scared?

Do you understand that the fact the event happens proves my point, correct? You just aren't smart man.

Maybe more Americans should have a basic familiarity of guns so they are less likely to lose their shit over things that normal teenagers have done for decades.

Imagine living in a sissy state where most people have never shot a gun, so they don’t recognize the sound. LOL @ kitty butt commiefornians and yankees. Oh, my bad. Their ghetto gangsters shoot plenty of guns. I should say, Imagine living in a sissy state where most law-abiding citizens have never shot a gun!

Imagine not knowing the difference between gun shots and fire works just to showcase your lack of spine in combination with your willingness to forsake children to what you (incorrectly) think is a shooter on a rampage

more people died from a single building collapsing this year than all school shootings. the ratio of murders to school shooting murders is like 1:200. being at school doesn’t matter at all in regards to shooting risk. maybe some poor neighbor schools are risky but it’s not a real problem

Darn if only the teacher had this cute little factoid on hand I’m sure the kids would have calmed right down.

Whether it happens daily or yearly isn’t the point, it happens and when it does it’s global news. Of course people are gonna panic.

The point is that panic kills more than anything in emergencies. People need to stop living in fear like there's always a fricking mayoid waiting around the corner to frick their cattle and stampede their children. A fear driven society is a controllable and easily dominated/manipulated one

There's like 1 a year on average in a country wtih 140k schools. Assuming 70m people learning at any given moment with a death rate of 10 dead a year on average that's 1/0.00000014286 chance.

Lightning kills an average of 49 people each year in the United States and hundreds more are injured.

So you're 5x more likely to die of a random lightning strike

Think of it as a stress test. Thanks to those gosh darn students, enough teachers and parents will yell at the admin to fix the intercom system. Silver lining and all that, chum. :marseyangel:

As a Brit, I just can't fathom how you yanks tolerate living in a country where kids are more likely to gun down their entire class than play with fireworks. Truly mind boggling.

They ARE more likely to play with fireworks.
