ArmMeWith

the feeling of safety at my school for the first time since 2017

[the-void-is-sapphic]

Y'all, the #armmewith tag that has started up is so wonderful please look it up

I am a student, #armmewith actual time to learn curriculum relevant to the class I'm taking. #armmewith time to learn instead of valuable time devoted to irrelevant test prep. #armmewith more recess and free time in the day to release my tensions and relax. #armmewith qualified teachers and councilors. #armmewith better school lunches. #armmewith later times for starting school so I can be focused in the morning instead of tired. #armmewith less homework so I can actually have time outside of school to do other things and relax.

#Repost @megscrayons ・・・ I love my job, I love my students more than they will ever know. Teaching is my passion...it is what I have wanted to do since I was10. There are many who truly don’t understand the world of teaching and that has become very clear in the last few days. When you ask me to carry a gun you are asking much more of me than you know. By arming teachers you are asking us to: - become the person I am suppose to protect my students from - potentially shoot a student that once sat in my classroom - make sure my gun stays out of the reach of the students in my classroom daily - shoot someone in front of my students, while calmly telling them “i will keep you safe” irony? (is this how we want the future to handle things?) Also, let’s not forget the funding, liability and the following questions you haven’t thought about... Which teachers get guns? Where will the guns be stored? Who decides when guns can be brandished? What penalties will apply if teachers mishandle a weapon? Will teachers volunteer for gun duty? Can teachers refuse it? Will teachers with a history of mental illness be allowed to use weapons? Will teachers be required to disclose any history of mental illness? Will teachers be issued a weapon? Reimbursed for purchase? For ammunition? How will administrators conduct non-weapon-related discipline against a teacher? Will there be armed assistance available to deter workplace shootings? Who will shepherd the armed teacher’s classroom while the teacher is attempting to locate the active shooter? What happens when a teacher misidentifies a student as a threat in good faith? Will teachers who do not carry lethal weapons be offered non lethal alternatives? If an armed teacher is shot, can another teacher employ his or her weapon? Will armed teachers be required to attempt an arrest before using lethal force? Under what circumstances?...THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL MAKE IT OKAY TO ARM A TEACHER! The day you put a gun in my hand is the day you kill my passion. #notmypresident #parkland #armmewith #teachersagainstgunviolence

you never answer violence with more violence and you never answer guns with more guns. teachers want supplies and funds. not guns. @snari

Just An Idea

Hey why don’t y’all just tell every school to implement metal detectors to check everyone entering schools. That’s a better idea than handing guns to teachers.  #NewsFixDFW #CNN #NBCNews #ABCnews #NewsHour #POTUS #SchoolShootings #gunsdontkillpeopledo #TeachersAndGunsDontMix #SecureOurSchools #gunsense  #NRA #ArmMeWithBooksNotBullets #ArmMeWith Art &music Programs.

" #ArmMeWith Snacks to feed my hungry students who can't focus. #ArmMeWith A curriculum that focuses on student passions rather than raising test scores. #ArmMeWith a comprehensive school counseling program. DO NOT #ArmMeWith a gun. I teach to raise up the future, not to bury it." -Noelle Clark

#Repost @utlanow with @get_repost ・・・ UTLA educators are eager to get back to classrooms where they can care for, laugh with, and most importantly, teach our students. But even more than teaching, our job in a pandemic is to keep students and communities safe. The eventual restarting of schools should be primarily about learning, not merely about the economy. Unlike other countries that recognize protecting lives is the key to protecting livelihoods, the United States has chosen to prioritize profits over people. The Trump administration’s attempt to force people to return to work on a large scale depends on restarting schools so parents have childcare. Learning happens when students feel safe, and safety is only possible in a broader setting of community preparedness, requiring greater federal and state resources to support a strategy of physical distancing in small, isolated groups, with a strong emphasis on hygiene. When politicians exhort educators and other workers to “reignite the economy”, UTLA educators ask: who are you planning to use as kindling? The benefits to restarting schools must outweigh the risks, especially for our most vulnerable students and school communities.
