Meghan Callahan :
My soul feels this. I have kindergarten so I am always on alert for not only me, but the 24 kids who would rely on me to know what to do. It’s sinful it’s always in the back of our minds…

the fact that we have even changed our language from IF it happens to WHEN it happens means it is now a common occurrence which is so sad.

We are all hyper vigilant! It can be toxic to our health. We shouldn’t have to work in such an environment. The students definitely don’t deserve it.
