Speaking as someone who is currently teaching(and I'm new to this, only 2 years so far) I can tell you that the budget situations don't help at all. Our district, which is normally very intelligent has decided to cut out the Sheriff's Deputy that was on our campus to save money. They didn't cut any teacher's jobs which is outstanding, however I felt better knowing there was an officer present on campus during the day. I know that our campus security is very reliable, however I just wish they would have kept the copper.
Now I know why I lock my classroom door at the end of every school day.
