WWI

I think WWI is such a fascinating war and a senseless war at the same time. So many new way and inventions of trying to kill of the human race, but gaining nothing in return. We the United States will enter this war next week and I can't wait to learn with you why.

Should teachers be armed? Your thoughts!

In my opinion I don't think we are at that point yet (guns on teachers) in our schools but I can see being trained to be more proactive to a shooter. In recent school shootings it seems like teachers are being confronted with the shooter. I like to be more proactive, so I think we as teachers need training on taking a gun away, talk down techniques, or have something like pepper spray in our rooms (or should some teachers with proper training carry some type of concealed weapon?). I just don't want to be a defenseless target, that it is not in my nature to do so. I would do what I needed to do to protect students in this school even if it meant giving my life up to do it, that is why I choose to be a teacher.

Looking forward to touring our school with you to make it safer. Who is at fault in the Columbine shooting? Your thoughts.

School Safe?

In your opinion do you think our school is safe in-terms of fire safety? What could be done to improve the safety?

Hitler Question

To all periods great job with your questions on the Smartboard! I was very impressed with your indepth questions. For the week of April 4th we will examining  how the key countries of WWII tried to get out of the depression (which will start WWII) which was world wide. You will also be introduced to these key countries leaders at the time of WWII. Only 8 weeks until the end of school, where did the time go? Just a reminder I will be collecting your binders when you take the final.
