| I'm a teacher and based on what you said, it sounds like the school is doing a really good job of ensuring that the students are safe. They are taking the threats seriously and not blowing it off to some prank. You have every right to pick your child up from school early, but it does sound like they are doing a good job. Teachers and schools are pretty well trained now after all the terrible tragedies that have occurred in and around schools these past years. I hope everything works out there and will send prayers your way for a safe and educational day! ↑ |
| I would be very afraid too. When I was in school if there was a threat you could bet that it was some kid wanting to get out early, but these days you never know. It sounds like the school is doing a great job though. I am not sure what I would do in your situation. Part of me things that it is prob just a joke, but like you I would be like that's my baby and hell no he is coming home now. ↑ |
| i would be afraid and i would keep my kids home becasue i worry to much even though i am sure that it is just a kid try to get attention. i dont have kids in school yet though ↑ |
| I have always drilled into my kids that school is the most important thing in their lives so I just kept telling myself dont feed into this... send her to school. NOW I am so beyond panicked its about to kill me. I tell you if I could get my hands on whoever this is I might actually strangle them. Who does this... who worrys parents like this, its just wrong. I live in a very small town... 9,000 people... nothing happens so you never think anything bad will happen but when it does it just hits so hard.. ya know. I mean if this was Chicago or Rockford then it would prolly be a normal day but its not. We all no everyone we all go to the sme churches and pto meetings... this is just so wrong. ↑ |
| I understand that you may not want to be one of those moms who keep their kids in a protective bubble because neither do I. But at the same time with all the school shootings that actually have happened nothing can be taking as just a prank and it sounds like her school is doing everything possible to protect the kids. As mention you have the right to pick your daughter up from school early ↑ |
| I want to so badly.... to me daycare is just as much at risk as her school since neither of them were technically targeted at... but I sould also add... daycare is one block from Tilton (one of the schools threatened). So I equally worry about daycare too. So I try talking to my boss to just let her know what is going on and all I really have to say about that is... she doesnt have kids... so you can imagine she doesnt care at all so I know I will get into trouble if I leave work... so then it goes back to well I am a piece of crap mom because I choose to be here at work... but I cant lose my job... I am so confused. I absolutely hate this. ↑ |
| Man, it's really ridiculous the sh*t that's been going on these days. Is there anyway that you can pick her up early or can you not leave work? I knwo it's so easy to say everything will be fine, but most likely it will. I don't think that there's going to be anything to make you feel better except seeing Lexi. What time does she get out of school? ↑ |
| you posted the thing about work before I read yours. How much trouble will you get in?? ↑ |
Well I just spoke with daycare and Lexi's teacher just emailed me back, everything seems to be fine. It is an inside day, all doors are locked and windows and the kids are all calm dont know of anything going on. There is still cops at all enterances but everything seems normal, no news on the person who started this....
I dont know what kind of trouble I will be in if I leave. I feel a little better now that I heard back from everyone. ↑ |
| i am sorry you are going through this right now. i can't imagine how i'll be when christian starts school. your kids aren't even safe at school anymore. ↑ |
