It would however garner more respect in the classroom if I carried one in a holster. It would give a whole new dimension to hall duty!Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-89775612896970375662008-08-16T18:00:00.000-07:002008-08-16T18:00:00.000-07:00i think some certain english teachers for the juni...i think some certain english teachers for the junior class that not many students seem to like.....would be a GREAT candidate for an armed teacher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-87588675785349104582008-08-16T16:42:00.000-07:002008-08-16T16:42:00.000-07:00Maybe EllenK should be one of those armed teachers...Maybe EllenK should be one of those armed teachers, after what she's described above....Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-71746351902531644842008-08-16T16:36:00.000-07:002008-08-16T16:36:00.000-07:00Darren,Good luck.

I have plan 3rd period which stinks because I coach girls soccer and 7th is usually the norm for coaches. Again, good luck and have a good year.Law and Order Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069306257334186404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-13590148714728167852008-08-16T15:02:00.000-07:002008-08-16T15:02:00.000-07:00I went in early this week to find my room in shamb...I went in early this week to find my room in shambles. The custodial staff literally tossed student computers around the room. After putting things back together, I realized that a mountain of deliveries had been unceremoniously dumped in the new teacher's room. So I have to go in to morrow and check orders against PO's because our inservice lasts FOUR DAYS. We have one day to get our rooms together, print supply lists and organize. It should be the other way around for veteran teachers. I don't need the same spiel on parking, discipline and technology every single year. I will be putting in extra hours as well. And since the custodians have ignored the needed efforts in my classroom, I am paying my 19 year old to come up next Friday and move cabinets and repair the press.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-16502983681534363722008-08-16T14:19:00.000-07:002008-08-16T14:19:00.000-07:00speaking of going back to school....you hear about...speaking of going back to school....<BR/><BR/>you hear about this?<BR/>http://www.kcra.com/education/17207643/detail.html<BR/><BR/>school district in texas allowing teachers to bring concealed guns onto campusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-51884808076266552462008-08-15T21:42:00.000-07:002008-08-15T21:42:00.000-07:00Yes.
