So tomorrow is the day! I’m pulling my son out of school because they are allowing teachers to carry guns at school. I was waiting for him to get his driver’s permit before I pulled him out. He had 2 more years of school but instead he’ll get his GED once he turns 17 this fall and start community college in the spring.
Wish us luck!

It went smoother than I had feared. Now on to better learning.

And safer learning. I think, (I know) in our community, teachers carrying guns would not be tolerated for one second.

I hope this works well for you and your child. Gun-toting teachers would freak me out.

He was in all advanced placement classes and correcting his AP history teacher daily. I think he could probably pass the GED with no studying. He’s a geek (like me) and doesn’t have that many friends. He also looks much older than he is, which is the opposite of me.
I, unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, instilled a distaste for the anticlimacticness of graduation ceremonies. I had many bad experiences with graduation ceremonies and didn’t attend my college graduation. Also most of my family have bachelors degrees, so high school graduation is no big deal.

Just curious-- do you know how many teachers and staff members will be coming to school armed??

I asked a teacher and he said it was mostly the elementary teachers that were for it but we won’t know who is carrying. We’re in a small town with only one high school and we’d have to live in a different town to have a choice.

@LauraUU Wow, I couldn't imagine sending my sons when they were that little (or even now) to spend the day in a room with a loaded weapon and 20+ hyper kids. I admire and applaud your decision.

What about alternative schools online? Best of luck to your son!

Oh, wow, I really admire you for doing this, and hope I would have if my daughter was still in school. His journey will be less conventional but I believe greatness comes with breaking from convention. And in this case, safety. Good luck to you both!

Can you send him to another school without guns? Can he be home schooled? How does he feel about missing his school friends and not graduating with his classmates?
