School shootings are happening a lot lately…they seem to be coming more and more. My project is on school assessment, so this interests me. Earlier I thought it was partly the teacher’s fault for the shootings; even the movie I reviewed, To Sir, With Love, kind of supported this. Well, Wendy questioned if it really is the teacher’s job, and if they should take time out of class to discuss it.
To be honest, I really have no idea. Every shooting is different, and who knows what’s going on in the minds’ of those shooters. It may not be the teacher’s fault at all. I’m not saying that they are to blame; they’re not parents after all. But to me, a school should educate kids on issues like that. If teachers AND parents just choose to ignore them, then things like shootings can happen. I’m not saying that teachers should be obsessed with the idea or make a special class for the issue, but teachers should at least be involved with the students. It sounds so obvious, just typing this, but I’m sure there are at least some teachers out there who don’t care at all.
I’m not confident in this post at all. I really have no clue what I’m talking about, and I definitely need to look into this more. As of right now, this is just what I think….and who knows? Maybe it’ll change completely…..
