When I read this, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I showed this to other teachers in the teachers lounge of this rough NYC high school, and they broke into peals of laughter as well. We had just come in from an extended fire drill in the 6 degree wind chill factor weather outside. Why would we have an extended fire drill in such weather? Because some idiot student sprayed the third floor of the building with pepper spray, and we had to evacuate. I had trouble breathing, as I have asthma. Outside, a tiny Indian girl was having such a severe asthma attack that she had to be taken away by ambulance. All so some dumba@@ kid can have 30 seconds of selfish fun.
I could just imagine an intruder coming into a NYC school and having to face down rows of students sending forth a barrage of beans, corn, and tomato sauce. Right?

What is going to keep them from throwing the cans at teacher?

This will work really well until little Johnny hits Tommy with a can of peas.

Arming kids with cans that can be used as weapons gives them a sense of empowerment, the school said.Utter madness.

Well it is better than hiding under a desk. The chaos of things being thrown would possibly give others time to escape. Like I said, better than hiding under a desk, whimpering.

Actually I think this is excellent. If this had happened at all the other school shootings it would have mattered. Cans of stuff coming at your head spoils the aim, also chairs, books, cans of paint -—anything! Coming at the shooter from behind and before. A barrage of solid objects could swarm the guy. it should have been taught long before.

Everyday it seems that there is a news story that makes me wonder if I missed an earlier news item about a terrible shortage of psychiatric medications sweeping the nation.

Look, it works! How could an AK-47 possibly withstand such an assault? Just like in the movies.

How about letting the teachers throw some lead?

Fools.
Never bring a can of peas to a gun fight.

“An educational video explained that students should fight back by running and throwing things instead of hiding.”
Huh? I thought liberals were supposed to show the obama sign and the bad peeps’ will go away (s)

Wait a minute. If these cans can be used as weapons shouldn’t they be banned under the zero tolerance policy? Little Johnny could be suspended for bringing a can of french cut green beans to school.
You can’t be serious!!!
