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

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.

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.
