I can't speak for students or parents, but I know teachers would LOVE to talk were it not for the fear of retaliation. Keeping our jobs means we talk only to each other about gang fights, gunfire in the building, lockdowns, sexual assaults in classrooms, physical altercations between teachers and students, things our campus "police force" does, and all the secrets our administrators keep. In response to an earlier comment you made, we do have a theory as to why the District would need it's own police force. "Back in the day", a campus 911 call to the Dallas Police Department usually included a visit from the Channel 5 News crew. If nothing else, our Youth Action Center (campus-based police station) certainly does a better job than the Dallas police of keeping our dirty laundry hidden .
