Dude. One of my friends killed himself in 2004. He didn't write the note until the night of, and I'm one of the last three people locally who saw him online before he jumped from a radio tower. None of us had an idea he intended it. And let me be frank, the second-guessing, the what-ifs, are terrible. His parents sold their house and moved across town because of it, to get away from the memories. Taking away tools from children to learn how to express themselves will increase the silent ideations and suicides. It's none of your goddamned business if a teacher has the means to mitigate that, especially given the rate parents abrogate their own responsibilities in teaching their kids what they don't want 'taught' in the classroom all the while expecting teachers to be glorified babysitters.
I've been close to people who killed themselves, too. Do not try to guilt me with an anecdote. Deliberately vague terms. A teacher thinking they "have the means" does not grant them veto power over the family or permission to bring their personal politics into the classroom. I do agree about negligent parents expecting teachers, and the whole of society, to compensate for their failings. My answer just happens to be "NO."
You're either posting so stoned that you instantly forget what has been said or are being intentionally obtuse, done here.
