++gives them a sense of empowerment++

Which is so important when facing a gunman.

You can also get a piece of rope and stretch it across the floor in front of the door. Get the two fattest boys in the class to each grab an end of the rope when a gunman comes. When they pull on the rope, the gunman will fall down and one of the skinny, fast boys can grab the gun. How’s that sound Mr. Principal?

A strategically chewed Pop Tart is far more dangerous

It's far more effective to throw these than it is to throw cans of food, and you definitely do not flip them when you throw them.

Another good reason not to teach in an Urban school.

As a Border Patrol Agent I have considerable experience with having various objects thrown at me. Much of the time with lethal intent. If we had the same advantages as a would be mass shooter nobody would ever throw sh*t at us again and the border would be secured.

Exactly. I told my kids to through a book, etc. in the rare chance it would happen. (I put two heavy rubber bands on the best throwing - sized book in their pack!)

My daughters would give me that “Dad’s an idiot” look and say “Yeah right - like me throwing a book is going to stop a guy with a gun.”

Maybe it will distract him for a second and someone else can grab him, maybe it WILL hit him and he’ll go for an easier room. But it is better than hiding under your desk.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

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.

Maybe the idiot who suggested this thought the armed terrorists would react the same way.
