lol.. Well it kind of reminded me of the crash fences at NASCAR tracks... bent outward at the top. And of course, I got the old “if it’s for the safety of the chirrens....” I found it abhorent.
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.
Be aware of what is coming into public schools these days....

Add in the Common Core Curriculum and you can start to understand the urgency in finding states that can and will secede before it is to late and the voters under forty are brain washed to the point of submission.
Pretty scary isn’t it, when they fence-off schoolyards with chainlink fence topped with concertina wire? And the NASCAR fences don’t work all that well, either, but better than nothing.
IIRC, all the school shooters have used the *doors* to get inside. I don’t remember any of them being found afterward with boltcutters along w/ extra mags, flammables in their backpacks. If it wasn’t so sad, I’d have used a </sarcasm> tag...
You have to wonder, if a killer enters the school, how do the students escape if they’re blocked-in by prison-style fencing?
Kind of makes it problematic, doesn’t it? All the more reason for armed personnel inside. Nice that we guard our banks, nuke plants, corp campuses etc, but we leave our schools wide open to attack.
well, barf

some schools need fences to keep the livestock out. Some schools need fences to keep the local denizens out. Some schools have fences but don’t need them. We had one, but it had gaps, which just might be lifesavers in situations one
hopes never occur:
from the Freemendo at Typepad blog 04 November 2007 Lockdown
Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown. No, no, no. When the terrorists began their assault at Beslan, around 40% of the students and staff ran like cuh-razy to get away from the school. A few hid in the boiler room. Every single one of those children and adults lived.
I saw an interview of a man who said he was there at Beslan, happened to be in Russia training them in anti-terrorist tactics. He said that the bloodshed that occurred there was much worse than what the media was reporting. He also said that as some of the terrorists were dying, they were screaming “This will be visited on America 1000 times!” They were planning something big. When al-Zarqawi was killed in 2004, they found layouts of schools here in the U.S. Then there was the theft of several school bus radios in Texas. Dry runs of men with backpacks getting on school buses in Florida, Washington and God knows where else. I believe they are still plotting something, but I don’t want our schools turned into prisons, that’s for sure.
