(Newser) – From kindergarten to college, all teachers have their rituals when it comes to preparing for the first day of school. As Beth Ann Fennelly writes in a guest essay for the New York Times, those rituals can be considered in three categories: the practical (e.g., arranging desks and supplies); the psychological (priming oneself to convince college students of the 'transformative power of literature'); and, nowadays, the tactical (identifying 'hard corners' and escape routes). One thing Fennelly—teacher, writer, and former poet laureate of Mississippi—will certainly not do to prepare for the new year is register for FASTER Saves Lives firearms training.
