Sad news!!
|
|
Today in my country, a teacher who worked in a primary school was killed by one of her students with a knife in front of students in the class. The reason is that student waslate for class and the teacher told him to take a formal paper from school management to be sent to his parents that would show he was late for class. This tragic event is a result of recent educational approach that tolerates students whatever they do. I think it �s time to question our educational systems. |

Hi Persie
NO WORDS...
Just to say I understand how you feel, we have been downing rules, and, this is the tragic result; it can happen to many, many of us. When rules and, moreover values are broken down, this is what we can expect.
Wish you can recover from such a nightmare, sorry, but I don �t have magic words to say - tragedy, yes, it was one, dramatic one.
Take care of you and help all the other, teachers and students. 
Love, Linda |

Teaching should not be a dangerous job.

What �s even sadder is that if this had happened in my country, it probably wouldn �t shock many people, except for the knife. We would expect the student to shoot the teacher. |

As a fellow teacher and human being, my heart goes out to you and all those concerned including the students who witnessed this barbaric act and the family and colleagues of the teacher etc.
My prayers are with you.
