Same at my school.
Perhaps it's the misleading headline, but I can't believe the number of people on this thread who seem to seriously believe that the students would not be able to exit the classroom.
Careful reading: It's not just a Liberal deficiency any more!
I, too, was dumbfounded by it.
Evelyn Wood should feel proud!
Come to think of it, we are told once and a while to lock our doors after the tardy bell so the administration can sweep the halls for tardy students.
My door opens just fine from the inside, with no problems.
In fact, we have gone into lockdowns before because of drug sweeps and such, kept on business as usual.
def: The inability to see anything good about any public school and the quick knee-jerk reaction to see only the very worst about every given situation.

Me either, but I guess they haven’t been in a school in a long time. I miss the days when doors weren’t locked, but I also miss the days when a 4th grader could walk to the bathroom without an adult escort, or run a note down to the office. But those days are gone.
