Being a science teacher, I can assure you the first person to enter my classroom would have gotten an HCL bath right in the face.
The teacher had a good idea.
If the kids throw cans, they will draw fire from the gunman, away from the teacher.
The theory is that not every gunman will have enough ammo for everyone.
Are they going to hold drills?
If I understand the OP correctly, I am shocked at the idea of projectiles like canned food flying around a classroom. Somebody other than gunman can accidentally get hit by one of those cans.
Principal is livinging in a fantasy world.
Just wait until someone is KILLED by a ‘canned good’.
Then they will cry for the banning of cans! They can then classify them as “assault weapons”.
...and there are STILL FReepers, ON THIS SITE, that send their kids to schools like this - probably a MAJORITY of people reading this.
SICKENING.
If they throw a can of peanuts and the perp has a peanut allergy, they’ll be charged with 2nd degree manslaughter-
You can’t spell manslaughter without laughter.
You can’t contemplate throwing a can at someone as self defense without crying.
.
No, as far as the article said, they're just gonna hold cans.
There are no words for this....
heard about this story on the radio...was laughing so hard
my co-workers assumed I was listening to a comedy show.
“Stand back...I have creamed corn and I know how to use it!”
“Stand back...I have..." BLAM, BLAM, BLAM is more like it.
These idiots who came up with this just made targets out of the kids in their school. It seems these hoplophobic pukes will do ANYTHING to keep from having to hire a trained up and armed security guard or force for these schools.
I'm all for teaching kids to be self sufficient and courageous. But you have to be smart and situationally aware. This canned soup idea is just dumb.
Isn't that what they say about gun owners? Unless the little tikes have arms like Nolan Ryan, it just maybe is a false sense of empowerment. Of course, if you are Crocodile Dundee or Charlie Lang you are good to go.
bump and thumbs up
I guess the first place to look for the center of ignorance would be our so-called education system. Funny they aren’t born that stupid, they actually go to school for it.
I’m going shopping tonight. I plan to buy some FROZEN chicken leg quarters. Should I buy .45 caliber or 9mm size legs? The drumstick will make a great handle for effective throwing. Appreciate your advice.
Since you lack a, err, um, roasting pan that will hold the larger size leg, I’d suggest the 9mm.
