Sandy Hook Teachers R Bodyguards to Kids

Bodyguards and Assassins

Friday, December 14, 2012 will never be forgotten by any of us nor will the name of the Sandy Hook Elementary School be erased from our memories forever. Without echoing what has already been said in this most horrific event where twenty young children were murdered by a lone gunman inside a sanctuary of a school, we learned an important lesson in life about bodyguards and assassins.

Emulating the behaviors of those heroic teachers that stood their ground and defended their classroom and their children the best they could being unarmed and facing a heavily armed assassin they all performed their roles of bodyguards of our precious little angels admirably and in a heroic fashion that will ever withstand the test of time and history.

The group dynamics of those that sacrificed their lives protecting their students and innocents from the assassin needs to be put into perspective in another form to recognize the value of a teacher in our schools today. This assassin came into the school in a kamikaze fashion and mission to kill people and was successful to do this unequivocally and without any doubt, difficulties as he was well armed and prepared to used deadly force on anything or anyone in his way.

The school was hardly a fortress designed to protect kids and teachers from grave harm or dangers. It has been revealed that a compelling drama took place that illustrated and made a most valid point that teachers are unrecognized as protectors and bodyguards of our children and while under their care, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the safety and well being of their children in their charge.

Assassins on the other hand have no such code to act in an most honorable manner and leave only destruction, pain and sorrow behind as they inflict the most pain humanly possible with their lethal ballistic armaments that are designed to kill and take human life with no regard to the humanity or dignity of the innocents now deceased and gone to heaven.

My point is to demonstrate the value of teachers as counselors, mentors, role models and protectors. They serve as our children’s bodyguards while they sit there in a most vulnerable setting having to take care of their charge without any help from the outside or law enforcement. Here is the irony:

Assassins are people who destroy human lives.
We already know that prisons are filled with assassins.
We care more about the assassins that the bodyguards.
We spent more money on prisons than we do schools and teacher’s pay even when we realize that these human resources are critical in their role to protect our children when they are away from us.

Stop spending money on prisons and start allocating more money for schools and teachers pay. The right thing to do is to recognize, respect and award these teachers for what they are within our social structure and provide them the same urgency and consideration as law enforcement and correctional staff that work in potentially dangerous places but are prepared to take the risks as part of their public duty to serve and protect our children.

Now that we know and fully realize the complete value of our teachers around our children we must set aside our political will to expand prisons and deny them the growth they are asking and instead focus and bring our schools back to adequate standards to give our children a bright future under the stewardship of loyal and devoted teachers who act as bodyguards for our kids when we cannot.
