What’s stopping kids from packing?
I volunteered with STEM outreach. I ❤️❤️❤️ experience which opened my eyes to those in less affluent districts. I picked an inner city location over suburban school bc felt could make deeper impact. I had no clue what some kids are dealing with...no father, hungry, no rules...
Two boys stole my phone and keys. Down to the principals office....apparently familiar with the drill....sheepishly pulling pockets inside out. The look on their face was precious. Little smirks, devilish grins.
They were 4th graders!!!
I was allowed to walk in the school, no screening/metal detector. No one stopped me in the halls. That’s scary!!!!!!!
