If I had known 30 years ago what my profession would come to, I'd have never committed to it--especially in this corrupt state. We are drilled a couple times a year on lockdown procedures. Last year, law enforcement brought in various weapons and fired blanks throughout the buiding so we could identify what an invasion might actually sound like. There is serious talk on arming principals and even teachers (that's real scary). There is nothing discussed on our subjects anymore--just meth manufacture, bullying, synthetic marijuana, bath salts, huffing, and sexting. I remember when students brought guns to school for demonstration speeches on how to clean them. While there has only been one murder in my town's 180 year history, we are subjected to the strictest laws in the nation. Funny how the tough Chicago gun laws did nothing for its 750 murder victims last year.
