Absolutely ridiculous that that's a hope and not an expectation. No kid should ever equate school with mortal terror. I thought the school shooter drills for random strangers were messed up as a kid. I can't stand what it's become today.

This is my son’s school/class. Thankfully in this case the principal, vice principal, super intendant are all gone.
I also agree that it all means nothing if you don’t have the admin to back teachers up. >

Oh Jesus what you have gone through!! My sympathies to you and your community. >

Thanks. Between Covid and this my son has not caught a break in any year he was in school. Here is hoping his complaints can become homework and not worrying about if his teacher or one of his friends are going to die (or almost die).
