Is School Safety a Reason Homeschooling Continues To Grow?
If you're a student or teacher, it should be obvious to you by now that some schools are not safe places. In fact, one could argue that schools may be the most dangerous places in the United States right now.
On December 13, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza stormed through Sandy Hook Elementary School's front entrance with a semi-automatic rifle and massacred 20 children and six adults. Over 2.5 years later, on October 24, 2014, 14-year-old Jaylen Fryberg opened fire at Marysville High School in Washington State with a .40 caliber handgun he had stolen from his father's drawer. Fryberg shot five students before fatally shooting himself. Two of the students died immediately after being shot; one died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle; one was declared brain dead at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett; and another is still recovering from her injuries to this day.
Even if you don't follow politics closely (and I certainly do not), you'll notice that any time there's a school shooting the media starts going crazy about gun control again for whatever reason (spoiler: it's because they're all liberal idiots). This cycle has been repeated countless times over the past years as more school shootings continue to grab headlines across America: Columbine High School massacre, April 1999; Amish school shooting in Pennsylvania, October 2006; Northern Illinois University shooting, February 2008; Virginia Tech massacre, April 2007; Chardon High School shooting in Ohio on February 27th 2012 (this list goes on and on...).
Gun violence
Schools are meant to be safe places for students. Unfortunately, we've seen far too many instances where guns have put the safety of students in danger. Many schools have taken steps to limit the ability of students to bring firearms onto school property, but it's still not enough. Guns have no place in our schools, and this is a problem that must be addressed immediately.
Teacher safety concerns
Teachers, who went into the field to develop and inspire students, are often placed in a position where they are not adequately prepared for what may occur during their day. They might find themselves responsible for supervising students in all areas: from the classroom to the hallways, lunchroom and playground.
There are some schools that have a few security staff members but usually not enough to adequately cover the entire school grounds. There is also no budget for security in most schools with many of them being underfunded.
Without funding or proper training and support, teachers aren’t fully equipped for more challenging situations that may arise. Many teachers often end up taking on extra responsibilities such as cleaning up after lunch or recess and when it comes time to deal with behavioral issues they have no other choice but to do so by themselves without any backup. Some teachers have even said they are afraid to go back to work or report difficult situations because of fear of getting fired or reprimanded by their supervisors if they ask for too much help or assistance in dealing with unsafe environments.
Teachers unable to control students
Schools struggle because of the lack of respect students have for teachers and the inability by parents to back up teachers. Students are not afraid of any consequence imposed by a teacher because they know that their parents will side with them and not allow them to be punished, removed from class or suspended. This lack of parental support has led to many teachers leaving their positions as a result of feeling powerless in the classroom. They also fear for their personal safety when attacked both verbally and physically by students who have no concern for the teacher's job or livelihood. Combine this with many administrators who do not want to upset parents or deal with district authorities who will side with the parent, and you have a recipe for disaster. To prevent this type of behavior will require society as a whole becoming less concerned about political correctness and more worried about teaching children right from wrong. When you see an adult being disrespected, you call them out on it, whether it is at work or out in public. We need to do that now with our children before they become adults and act worse than they do now as kids!
Schools are not safe places for students or teachers
Schools are not safe places for students or teachers, so you need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. You should also have a plan in case something happens, as well as know your rights as a student or teacher in these situations. Being prepared and practicing good hygiene will ensure that you stay alert during class and avoid negative people who may incite violence with their words or actions. It’s important to avoid making decisions when you are stressed out and practice good posture while sitting down, standing up, or walking around campus since this can help prevent injuries if an incident occurs. Avoiding arguments will also keep the peace between classmates in addition to keeping everyone calm during stressful situations such as tests or presentations given by peers.
Online Casino Slots
What
are the best online casinos for slot machine fans? Online casinos can offer
players almost everything that real casino halls can. Plus, there's more.
First, let's define a few concepts before we get into the online slot machine
halls. The "one-handed gangsters" can be divided into slots and video
slots. This is a slot that is a coin-receiver. Classic slots are three
mechanical barrels that can be played on one to five lines. Video slots can be
played on a 3x5 video screen with 9-30 lines and rich bonus opportunities.
Online
casinos offer both types of machines. Online games are not as good (and may
even be better) than offline games in terms of their game’s quantity and
functional capabilities. Microgaming software is undoubtedly the leader in
terms of slots quality and quantity. Downloaded versions offer a wide range of
slot machines, including classic and video, in roughly equal numbers. Classic
slots offer a choice of 1-5 lines. You can play up to 10 times with progressive
jackpots. The average amount of these jackpots are between 5 thousand and more
than a million dollars. It was many years ago that the first nine-line video
slot appeared. Much of the play's "Tomb Raider" popularity is due to
the computer game and the movie "Lara Croft tomb plunder". Lara's 4ft
tall picture can be seen in the office of Microgaming. The 20-and even 30-line
video slot machines were created. Video slots offer the chance to win bonus
rounds free of cost, including prize multiplication and bonus games that allow
you to risk and double your win. Jackpots up to a hundred thousand dollars are
also possible. These games usually offer a maximum prize of $40-200 million.
Video slots offer a variety of options for players to choose from: bonus symbols
and wild symbols; animated animations. And animations that can be used to
create wild or bonus symbols. You can also set the number of games you want to
play, and the games will start automatically. And you can play online casino
games at Big Dollar Online Casino
The
casino that uses the soft "Cryptologic" would take second place. They
have recently signed a deal with "Marvel", a well-known comics
publisher. More than ten video slots have been created with comic characters
(we are familiar with such names as Hulk or Spiderman). The casino offers more
than 50 classic video slots covering 9-20 lines and a wide range of options.
Payers of the British casino William Hill have another option: they can
"push" the drum to give the player the winning combination. The
jackpot on the video slot "Millionaires Club" is $3,5 million. This
is double the amount of the previous record. The bank will reach $4 million if
you get a current issue. It will be hit, and the original amount of $400 000
will be returned.
These
producers of slot machines, such as "RTG" and "Playtech,"
can offer a limited selection of different slots, but not their functionality.
There are classic slots and video slots that provide various functions and
jackpots, including those worth one million dollars. Out of the five leaders in
provider services, only Boss Media can outperform its rivals in terms of the quality
of the slots. However, they also have video slots with at least nine lines and
not all the possibilities.
It
is essential to evaluate online slots by asking what percentage they pay.
Despite numerous requests from players, most casinos don't show the payment
rate that was laid into the game. It is possible to estimate it, however. For
example, the casinos with the software from "Microgaming" and
"Cryptologic" publish monthly standard payment percentages, notarized
by auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers. The average payment percentage for
all slots is between 94 and 96 %.
In conclusion, I would like to point out that online casinos offer a wide range of machines. They are not limited in their functionality to the ones found in traditional playing rooms. Online playing provides more convenience and a more comprehensive range of stakes and bonuses to double your playing funds. Some casinos also provide information about payments in pawns, which is hard to see in the real world. If someone decides to play online slots, it won't be a mistake.
