When graduation balloons popped inside a West Virginia high school, a teacher had to reassure students who ducked for cover that the noise did not come from gunfire.
In Nashville, Tennessee, three Inglewood Elementary School staffers sprang into action last month to restrain a man who had hopped a fence. After children on the playground were directed inside, the man followed them, but he was tackled by kindergarten teacher Rachel Davis.
The three employees watched in horror less than two weeks later as news of the Uvalde shooting unfolded. Kindergarten teacher Ana Hernandez said Texas educators are anxious after a rough patch that has lasted years and shows no sign of ending. She and a group of colleagues from Dilley drove an hour to Uvalde to do all they could, delivering donated stuffed animals and cases of water. She said more is needed.
The gunman who killed 19 students and 2 teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, couldn’t be stopped by police for at least 40 minutes after the attack began. A representative for the Gun Owners of America says one solution is to let teachers carry guns too — to take down mass shooters when police can't."You’re a first responder. You’re a first reporter.
For about 45 minutes, Smith said, no one outside the room knew the class was being held hostage. She diverted his attention from other students and tried to keep him talking while she walked around the room with him. “I think my training just came into play,” Smith said. “And then I had 29 freshmen sitting there looking at me, and I would have to say that they were the heroes. Because they did everything I told them to do, and they did everything he told them to do. And they stayed fairly calm."Back at Spring Mills High, one of Salfia’s former students now works in her department as a first-year English teacher.
