  Yep and any attempt by a teacher/admin to control the situation is “big government indoctrination” it’s so fucking stupid.
context: My wife works in district! She has friends who work at the school. They said the woman shot went to admin multiple times to voice her concerns with the child who was acting strange. Then, the student shot her. Admin is a joke. >
  
  Not surprising at all and why so many of us are leaving this profession. I've been in the same situation, as have every single one of my elementary school peers. I've worked in an affluent school for over a decade and it now worries me more than when I started out and taught in the projects. 
  Thank you for speaking up! Only teachers, their family, and closest friends understand how terribly bad it's gotten. Everyone else is still in denial or shock. >
  
  My sister is now a teacher in a super-affluent high school and has said the same thing; the atmosphere and the events that are happening to/from the students are way more intense than any urban or rural farmland school she’s worked at. The admin is so afraid of the parents, the kids are effectively allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want. >
  
  This is what the “parents rights” movment has done to us
