Wednesday, the teacher walk-in took place.
During this gathering, students and teachers gathered out around the flag pole in front of the school. Bubba Clark, DMS councilor, led the group in prayer before speaking about how unity has importance, and how students should always try their best.
“You need to burn those ships about thinking you’re not good enough, about not trying, and not caring” Clark said.
The teacher walk-in has importance to people, though it may not seem so. To students, it may seem as an odd gathering, but especially to staff, it is important.
“The teacher walk-in is an event which shows solidarity of teachers and students working together for increased funding for schools” Sonia Norton, special education teacher, said.
The unity of our school is very important, whether it seems like it or not. Making sure everyone feels included and acknowledged is a big part of unity.
So, the next time you think about our school, think to yourself “are we a community, or just here?”

I have never heard about this/these teacher “walk-ins” are these a regular thing?
I’m all for a unifying message to promote positive things among students and their peers, but I am Not for students being used as political pawns for teachers’ raises or to be against teacher raises. (Kids are easily manipulated because they’re naive to the world, economics, and politics, and lots of other things) so politicians on both sides of the aisle prey on their emotions to indoctrinate them into believing in their causes… and NO that doesn’t work for me.
I’m assuming that the teachers are telling kids how unfair they have it and how they need to stand up for their teachers/raises etc.???
If so, that is NOT ACCEPTABLE
I don’t send my child to school to be socially or politically indoctrinated.
