Maryland educators endager students lives
OMG!
How did they do that?
Did they bring loaded guns to school to teach how to treat a gunshot wound?!
Turn the science room into a meth lab?!
Hide some bombs behind the toilets to reenact Lethal Weapon 2?!
Field trip to the illegal Malaysian tiger petting zoo?!
open the doors and let all the high school students go out
OMG! Nooo!
They let students leave the school?!?!
Students are supposed to be put back in their cages at the end of the day, never let off their leashes, never to get wet, or fed after midnight!
What were these absolute morons thinking allowing teenagers to go outside! The sun's out there! That causes cancer!
.people need to take responsibility for their actions
But....it seems the students are choosing to take the action of leaving the school.
Based on the info in the OP the teachers are responsible for opening some doors.
i guess the kids call the shots in school now
Kids chose to leave school.
That's not really calling the shots "in school."
Kids have been leaving school every day (except weekends, holidays, and summer for the most part), all across the nation, for years now.
we need more private or home schooling
The number of kids being home schooled has been significantly increasing over the past few years.
Even then, private or home school is the decision of the parents deciding what's best for their kids.
How is that less "gestapo?"
thisliberal guestapo is over now
Wouldn't it be more "gestapo" if the teachers physically restrained the kids that decided they wanted to leave and tried to?
Barricaded the doors? Locked the kids in the classroom?
Threatened the kids beyond commensurate punishment to leaving to frighten them into staying?
I don't know what else a single teacher responsible for 15, 20, 30, 50 kids is supposed to do to keep kids that have decided to leave from leaving.
Other than that, school has been compulsory for a very long time, way before any "liberal gestapo" currently in place.
An argument could be made the entire system of school being compulsory is "gestapo."
And an argument could be made the "liberals" in control of the education system "gestapo" is less "gestapo" having done away with things like corporal punishment.
