I agree. It seems like nobody is willing to pay for quality anymore.

Thankfully there's a 'Glass' bin.

And per the school’s own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn’t say anything at the time.

If you're drawing that from:

Since our first communication, our initial investigation determined that this individual involved was a former student recognized by staff. [emphasis mine] She was not a substitute teacher. We did involve our Milwaukee Police Department school resource officers (SROs) the day that this occurred. The district’s Title IX coordinator was also notified. In addition to any police actions resulting from this situation, the district is continuing with its own investigation.

It seems extremely clear that what the letter is saying isn't that the staff saw her impersonating a substitute and looked the other way; it's that once the students reported her, staff who worked there were able to identify her as a former student.

If this isn't what you were talking about and I'm missing something, I apologize.

If she had a gun, there would be a lot of dead students right now.

Milwaukee public schools use metal detectors.

This video specifically shows what Rufus King (this high school) does. You're assuming her having a gun wouldn't have changed this, but it would've. Because part of that "so much security theater" is scanning people who enter the school.

Do you know what schools have implemented in the effort to cut down on school shootings?

Yes, see the video above.

So much security theater just to allow someone like this to waltz into a classroom to openly berate children.

I don't see the "so much" security theater you're referring to, and it seems like she got very lucky. She appeared young enough to blend in with the other students but also appeared old enough to be a substitute teacher and had attended the high school not that long ago (and conveniently lived right across the street).

During her scouting the week prior, she "heard other staff in the main office talking about the substitute teacher agency and told the secretary she was a substitute", so she had that established ahead of time. On the day she went into the classroom, eight of the approximately 70 teachers were absent, and one of those positions happened to be unfilled by a sub (something she couldn't possibly have foreseen).

Incidentally, unrelated to your comment, here's the local news source instead of the trash tabloid Metro.

If for no other reason than that he introduced me to the Trombone Champ rendition of "My Heart Will Go On", I agree.

If you or anyone reading this didn't know, he also hosts a podcast alongside Nicole Conlan called The Climate Denier's Playbook.

Seriously, I remember even at a young age being able to rock the entire set back and forth. I guess the safety mechanism is that eventually your ass doesn't fit in the swing anymore.

Oh, and I remember the slide feeling unstable as hell.

There's only so much piss a washing machine can take.

This made me wonder, so I looked it up:

Rest in piss, George Pell. 🥳
