As far as cops in schools, I'm not a fan at all. But then I'm not a fan of having a crazy person blast their way in with the intent to kill children.
In addition, I am even LESS of a fan of the current plan in our school system wherein teachers (including myself) will be stationed at the entrance to check ID's and to alert the office in case of trouble. I WILL NOT be standing such a post. In the event of trouble I am the last person anyone wants there. The early warning system will be me, dead on the floor. Not to mention, in the event I let someone in who did great harm, how would I live with that? I couldn't. Manning a security post is not what I'm trained for in any sense of the word. Will not do it.
As far as the rest of your post... somewhat surprised that Dr. Wintertime would refuse to answer a well-written, well-reasoned post. One that was polite, kind, and supportive.
This type of closed-mindedness is not typically seen among the intellectual elite, but rather those with lower intellectual abilities. As in, I cannot respond to you, therefore I will simply put my fingers in my ears and turn away from the discussion.
I, for one, have EXTREME doubt as to her claims of her previous profession. I DO NOT believe that she is or ever was a member of the medical profession beyond that of a basic tech. Her words, arguments, and even basic syntax, grammar, and spelling have never supported this claim.
I have pinged her in this post for the simple reason that it is protocol. I understand I will get the ‘cut and paste do-not-post-to-me-notice” and I accept that as the price of common courtesy. My level of courtesy is not reflective or determined by another, but by what I know to be right. It is not necessary to ping that to me, but of course, you may as I have no control over your actions.
In short, people who post on public forums should be open to discussion, or they should not post.
The next ‘cut and paste’ statement will most likely be brought to you by “Dr.” Wintertime
Enjoy
