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

My kids are so desensitized to violence that they don’t even take lockdowns seriously. It’s only 6 weeks into the semester and we’ve already been locked down twice. Neither ended up being serious, but my kids were still laughing and joking and even betting on what was going on. Per my students: “If you can’t hear helicopters it probably isn’t serious Miss L.” This is so weird to me. I was their age when Columbine happened. We didn’t even want to go to school for the rest of the week because of all the copycat threats. It’s so sad that this is an everyday part of American life now. It’s even sadder that some kids think it’s funny to capitalize on the trauma of others just for lulz.

Those kids are more mature than their teachers.

Remember when Americans knew the difference between firecrackers and gun shots? Remember when Americans weren't such massive fricking kitties at the drop of a hat? Pepperidge Farms remembers

Probably a really unpopular opinion but, I'm a hundred percent not doing that. I value my life way more than others, which is funny to say considering how suicidal I am. Plus if a shooter gets in the room we're all probably dead anyways so there's no point for the theatrics.

Wow, look at this coward. If I was a teacher and there was a shooter, not only would I protect the students with my body, but I would also walk through the bullet fire and in my last breath break the shooters neck with my bare hands. This is the problem with modern society; if you won't die to protect our children, you won't die for anything, and that makes you worthless. It isn't "theatrics", it's basic human decency and the minimum expectation for any adult. If you can't stare down some pasty faced teenager with a gun you are a coward. If you die, you basically have a guaranteed spot in heaven, VIP pass included. If you run I guarantee you burn in heck, which is exactly what a coward like you deserves. This is what happens when we let our kids be taught by half functioning drug addicts. I saw the aspiring teachers when I was in college, they were the saddest, sickest, most abhorrent people in the entire world. The only things they know how to do well is smoke weed and have poli relationships with fatties. If you have children, homeschool them.

G*mers are a legitimate oppressed minority or something

I was high on blow last night and I wrote this. I have deleted the original post, but frick it here it is.

This is a REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY unpopular opinion. But I guess thats the point of This subreddit.

You might have seen the memes on the internet saying how g*mers are the most oppressed group on the earth. And how they will “Rise Up”. On the surface this is a pretty stupid, and mostly nonsensical meme. But despite how ridiculous it might seem, there is a line of truth to the meme.

Do people actually consider school shootings to be more than just a funny joke? Lmao. I always assumed that people never took these things seriously.

How much does a firework really sound like a gunshot?

Ask my neighbors. I moved out of the ghetto into a rich neighborhood and if you were to go by Ring Neighborhood or Nextdoor you'd think it was fricking South Chicago any time someone drops a 2x4 or lights a firecracker at Christmas.

Not at all.

Only thing I can think of is that the way schools are built, the noise was amplified down the hallway, but even then, firecrackers sound nothing like gun shots.

Firecrackers don't. They're more like a loud uneven and fast crackling sound. I guess these people really do believe guns can empty the 30 caliber magazine clip in half a second

Show me the news story to believe it’s real. In today’s ((media)), anything that provokes fear and begging for government intervention, especially involving kids would immediately make the news. Even if it’s a fake school shooting.

Why do people think this? That's what high school drop outs are for, they're called CNAs. Some high schools even offer the certification, it's a single semester.

More students should do this to see which teachers are truly committed to the cause.
