this week we brought together a group of ate local tacrs to tell us what they thought about school safety and we were hoping for a good dialogue, from thoughtful people who were in schools. what we got was more than that. in those 45 minutes they proved what it was possible to speak your mind and truly listen to someone else's pin and that gave us all hope. tonight we give those 8 local teachers some cheers. 8 teachers from across the delaware valley gathered at the cbs studios. they were here to talk about school safe time i wanted to show off with a show of hands, who here wants to be armed in their classroom. race your hand yes you you never know how an interview is going to go, much less one with 8 people on a subject as complex as how to prevent school shoot ings. the world we live in makes it easy to think it's impossible to have a calm, thoughtful

conversation under those circumstances. but here's what we heard, but for 45 minutes of back and forth i respect my colleague than a i faux he's well trained. there's so many sides to this. there's a lot to consider. law enforcement as well as a teacher. the teachers didn't agree on everything but they made a point to listen, to hear the other side, to respect each other. those small but powerful gestures al conversation. no yelling, no high perp lees, just thoughts and ideas and it should come as no surprise. we learn in school how to debate , question and form answers to solve problems.ú3 these teachers remained us that equation works just as well in the real world and for that we give these 8 local teachers three cheers. in case you missed we got the full conversation with those teachers on school safety on our website at cbsphilly.com. a final farewell to the man

money? love. i would have to say love. definitely love. not for some millenials at least to a new service by comment. it found 41 percent of working millenials without a spouse or children would end a relation ship if it meant getting a promotion. love. that's sad to me. it's hard when you you don't have it to know how to value. to get a response between the ages of 0 and 36 and stay single for # # years, delay marriage for seven and put off having kids for 8. that's not surprising. if i had an opportunity to go to a grad school in a different story would be more important than staying with someone that didn't want to move with me. if everyone had their price this group is no different. a $37,000 pay bump was enough to end a relationship. they shouldn't be in the relationship at all. that's greedy. while postponing marriages children required nearly double that. where does that leave us in i

don't think there's a monetary value for love. life is not promised. tomorrow is not a guarantee. i think we have too remember they are millenials. they're in this face of life where sometimes love relation ships it takes a backseat because they're establishing themselves. exactly. it doesn't really feel like what we would typically feel like spring like. we got all excited i think it was wednesday i was sitting in the park with my dogs. i couldn't have done that today. no. you you would have blown away. we still have those elevated wind speeds across the area today. what a storm. what a system. meteorological spring began yesterday, but spring is definitely not right now in the delaware valley and check out our seen right new as we get a live look in the poconos, jack frost and big bolder on sky scam
