My buddy who works as a pharmacist asked me what I felt about it, saying that although it would add to the responsibility of instructors, these steps do save lives. What do other teachers think?

Yes, teachers should learn CPR and how to use an EpiPen. These skills are essential for handling emergencies and ensuring student safety, particularly for those with medical conditions like allergies or in crisis situations.
When my friend, a pharmacist, brought up how increased responsibilities for instructors can save lives, I felt that while it definitely adds to their workload, the impact is undeniably positive. Teachers I’ve spoken to share a similar view: although it’s challenging, these additional steps, such as implementing health protocols or emergency procedures, are crucial for student safety and well-being. The consensus is that the benefits in terms of preventing health crises and ensuring student safety far outweigh the added responsibilities, making it a worthwhile effort despite the extra burden.
