Hi, all,
Since this last tragedy in the little Amish school, my school, like all educational facilities, is making changes. I guess the thinking is...if it could happen at a one room Amish school, it could happen anywhere. We are now required to keep our classroom doors locked. All entrances are locked except the main entrance into the office. Yesterday, we had a pep rally, during which the gym doors were opened, and a strange man in a suit was in the gym. It turned out this was the mayor of our town, invited in to inspect and assess our "safety" procedures. No one asked what he was doing there, and he was able to walk around for hours conversing with students, teachers, and have full access ot the school. We received a letter in our teachers' mailboxes today about it, the fact that no one noticed this stranger among us. What is one to do?
