Not The Most Appropriate Week For Threatening People With Gun Violence, Either
-
Everything's on video now, so teachers can't get away with what they used to get away with. Take the teacher who told a kid who was acting up in class he'd end up with a bullet in the head, telling the kid he's going to end up getting shot by the time he's 21 and that the teacher might be the one who does it. That's the kind of thing some teachers would have said in the past and nobody would have reacted, because nobody would have known but the kids in the class, and who listened to them? Now, everyone whips out their phones, and there's evidence. Which is good in that it means overheated, abusive language isn't going to be tolerated. But it's also bad if the teachers feel like they're under surveillance and one slip away from WorldStar stardom. Meanwhile, the kid's mom wants the teacher fired, so you can debate that.
