Threat of an attack
Just curious. We have a lot of diversity here in regards to what we do for a living or used to do for a living prior to retirement. How many of you had a fair number of your days start with something alone the lines of: "We have received a threat of a (shooting, bombing, violent) attack. Please be on high alert today." Words to similar to that or something like it. It's getting a little too common in my profession. It's how my day started today, and today is the second to the last day of school before the summer break. I've been at this for 31 years tomorrow. In the first 15 years I never experienced anything like this. These days I have to deal with this several times of year, and these are just the threats we know about. It's the one's we don't know about that keep the anxiety level high these days. I just got to make it 10 more years. Trust me in the back of nearly every teacher's mind is wondering if today will be the day an attack will occur. Pretty taxing to be honest.
