As educators, we hold a captive audience with our students. Our fear becomes our students’ fear, and our calm becomes their calm. Of course this is a burden that we have to carry. When most of us signed up to be teachers or administrators, we didn’t think that we would have to lead our students through events like 9/11, natural disasters, school shootings, and pandemics. But we do, and the reality is that this a burden we have to carry. We hold captive audiences whether we like it or not.

As educators, we need to understand that we are a role for the students and in moment of crisis, the things that we feel become the things that they are going to feel, so if we express fear the students will feel fear and if we express calm, the students will feel calm. That is why I think that is very important to know how to react on special situations since we don´t know what is going to happen tomorrow and today everything can be fine and in calm; however, everything can change in a second. As educators, we don´t only teach, we are also a safe place for some students and whether we like it or not, we hold captive audiences.
