So not only do they want them to be sharpshooters but also paramedics?

In addition to social worker, school supply provider, poverty solver. It’s basically that book Who’s Hat is That but one person.

teacher here. yes, this is part of our training now. also how to use weapons (no guns or knives) against an intruder: throw books, desks, ANYTHING HEAVY, how to barricade a door, how to keep kids calm, etc. We dedicate a full day to this training.

OMG. I am a teacher and this is horrifying. One of the reasons I didn't go into nursing is I'm not a fan of blood. Now in addition to being a counselor, extra parent, cheerleader, teacher, etc, I have to be a cop and a nurse too?

Thank you for your service. I have 1 kiddo left who’s a jr in HS. It’s sad and sickening the difference since our oldest entered HS 13yrs ago. Even friends who teach at elem level are talking about getting out/retiring early.

Maybe now they'll provide schools with free tampons

Tampons are great for plugging gunshot wounds.

The objection is that we're training teachers and students on what to do in case of a shooting instead of tackling the real problem - guns. It's as if the US has decided that school shootings are inevitable and acceptable, as long as it's someone else's kids.
