Nice work on the teacher's part but goddamn can you imagine that moment when you first see it in the kid's backpack or whatever? Heart stopping.

When I was that age I would bring stuff to school to show to my friend because I thought it was cool. Kid probably brought it to school not knowing how deadly a gun could be and the drama it brings in this current environment. Blame should be on the parents for not being responsible gun owners and locking it up properly.
I doubt the kid was going to do something malicious with it.

“Look at what I found under my parents bed!!!”
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was what he was going to tell his friends verbatim

Just happened this week in my son's junior high - kid brought in a pellet gun to sell to another kid - they tried to do the exchange in the cafeteria at lunch. Both suspended.
Moral of the story is kids are dumb.

I was little older than 6. My friends and I would regularly bring our realistic-looking, battery-powered AK-47 water guns into the woods and set off fireworks pretending we were shooting. One random day, the cops were called on us and officers confiscated our water guns but didn't find our fireworks in our backpacks. Our parents weren't called either.
I'm grateful that happened bc it could've ended a lot, lot worst. Thank goodness they don't sell real-looking water guns like that anymore. Stupid kids!

I bought a bullet keychain from the USS Intrepid museum gift shop and brought it to school - even at the time I knew it might get me into serious trouble but I still showed it off. Children aren't terribly smart.
(Yes it's harmless but when has that stopped schools?)

You literally can't pay us enough to deal with shit like this and yet outside of the upvotes on this sub most people seem to think we don't deserve it.

Everyone wants to support the teachers until it comes to actually compensating fairly

How much do you think BPS teachers make?

I know how much BPS teachers make, and it is not enough…..

How much would be enough? I’m serious: what do you think the mean or median BPS teacher salary should be?
