KCMO Teachers Say Rising Violence Has Them Afraid - WDAF

Some teachers in the Kansas City, Missouri, School District say that a fight that left a student and security guard injured at Central High School highlights a serious problem in the district, a problem that they say has them afraid to do their jobs.

MY HUSBAND ALSO WORKS FOR THE KC SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I PRAY EVERYDAY
WHEN HE LEAVES HE WILL COMES HOME OK. HE IS A GREAT TEACHER AND LOVES KIDS. WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHERE THE GUNS COME FROM. WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?

I have an enormous amount of respect for those people that are educators in the day and age and culture in which we live! It is no easy task! There are many fine young people that are honorable and respectful, however, there are also some students that are disrespectul, cuss at the teachers, threaten and some that even inflict violence against educators. It starts with everyone, parents, grandparents, faith community, business community, etc working together with the educators to promote and uphold an environment where people understand the issue of treating each other with mutual respect! God give us wisdom to implement a realistic strategy that gets genuine results and will Turn the Tide for the Next Generation!

i guess the teachers need to start carring guns to school too. if the kids do than we need to protect ourselves dont we, get them before they get us!!!
