Today in my first period Journalism class, professor Glenn Shiebler brought up the tragedy of the Newton Elementary School shooting. Shiebler discussed how his humanities’ classes spent periods discussing the events of the incident.
This was the first time the shooting was even mentioned in one of my classes in school. Sharon High is fucking pathetic. These selfish teachers could not take the time out of their teaching lessons to talk about or even mention one of the worst events in America’s history.
I have had a great four years at Sharon High, but this is one of my low moments and one that I will never forgive the school for. It is insulting that these teachers care more about their lesson plans, which in the end are useless in life, than a killing of more than 20 elementary school students and teachers.
I understand if maybe it is not appropriate in some classes to spend an entire class discussing it, but for none of my five teachers to even say the word shooting is embarrassing and pathetic. I don’t care how many blue ribbons this school gets, I would rather this place have a heart.
Especially in a school setting, when this incident took place in a school. C’mon man this made me angry. Sharon High needed to step up in a time of tragedy, and it did not. Inexcusable.
Mamba Out.
