How many jobs must a teacher do? It's gotten to the point that these punk kids and the parents are not parenting. There is no accountability Very sad bill. Accountability for ones action.. None.

If you don't like the law then stay home or go to school elsewhere.

So what happens when a teacher has a meltdown ?

[@RobbbbM-qk3ei]

Yep. The teachers lean lib right?

@@RobbbbM-qk3ei Well on a good note. Only ones carrying would be the sane ones. Libs are scared of guns and pee their pants when they see one.
