I am a teacher.

i do not want to take a bullet for your child.

i am a mother.
and I watched my children and their friends grow up, and I love them. But for a long time, they were idiots. if you don’t think you can trust them with beer, why in the hell would you let them have a gun?

Gun (you can arm a kid who is too young to drive)
Car
vote
Beer

personally, I think it should be
beer,
car,
vote,
gun.

Teachers have enough responsibility. You go to school to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Teachers are always on the lookout for signals of abuse or neglect and do their duty to report per the law. Most teachers I have known really care about their charges and helping them build the foundation, then the supporting structure, then the finishing touches on skills that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. My young grandchildren are learning geography, Spanish, science...the list is endless of what they are exposed to. When I look at the kind sweet teachers who give my elementary age grandchildren so much I could never imagine them shooting someone. They seem so devoted and kind but firm to their charges as it should be with young children . Many people, like me, have never touched a gun. I would not be good in a shooting. Teachers have so much responsibility as it is their time can surely be put to better use.
