Manually Breathing

Kindergarten teacher keeps her kids under control while outside drug cartels are in a gun fight. 5 die. The kids remain safe and sound.

This is what she more or less says:
“Yes my love, everyone on the floor. Mandy, no, nothings happening just put your little heads down. Precious, put your little heads on the floor, nothing is happening, just don’t put your heads up please!………..Lets sing a song?

class says yes.

Lets sing…..I know which song!
♩♩♩Rain drops are made of chocolate, I would love to be there, who wants chocolate!!!??? Opening our mouths to taste the flavor♩♩♩
Put your heads down yes? Now put your heads on the floor and lets open our mouths ♩AA AA AAA AA A AA♩
Are you guys opening your mouths? Do you have your little mouths open facing up? So the rain drops can fall in your mouths!
Miguel? you haven’t opened your mouth!”

This teacher deserves a medal.

this ladies and gentlemen? is an educator. someone who cares so deeply for all of the precious little lives she is entrusted with. a fucking machine gun is going off and she’s trying to keep the children calm and happy and safe while sitting up occasionally to look around at her own risk.

I Will Forever Reblog This. So much respect for the teachers in Mexico. 

and in America we underpay people like this, cut their salaries further, and cut educational funding causing unemployment among educators because we’d not only rather give tax cuts to billionaires and spend 80 billion dollars building ten new aircraft carries to fight against countries without standing armies nor navies.
