Savior Syndrome


Savior Complex Anyone?

I had a conversation this morning with a teacher regarding their need to "keep kids safe" by starting school on time.  In classic savior syndrome fashion, she spouted a need to "keep her kids safe."

Kids don't need to be saved from their family.  If they do, that's the role of a social worker, not a teacher, although teachers are mandated to report abuse in my state. 

I too want normality-but not at the expense of children's lives.  "Let's see what happens when we open schools," is not ok with me.  Especially when it's done in the name of capitalism.  

How many more must die before we let go of our political leanings long enough to look up and see?
