yep easily affordable. And a security guard at the entrance wouldnt cost a lot either.
This is not an expensive solution. with a few details added it would. Certainly far better than taking our rights away. Which is what the liberals may succeed in doing if this keeps happenining.
Even if you nailed all the windows shut, that wouldn’t help. Students would just open one of the many fire exit doors.
In our school, all the fire exit doors have an alarm that goes off when it is opened. And a camera is trained on each door.
None of that really matters. A kid will open a door, and let someone - or something - in. He’s caught on camera, and the alarm goes off. The kid is called to the office, or is grabbed up by security.
He plays innocent. “I just heard a knock on the door and opened it.” The most the school can do is suspend the kid for a few days. That’s like giving him a short vacation.
And if he smuggled something in, you can be sure it was quickly passed on to somebody else.
The best solution, IMHO, is what I posted at #54.
c’mon now, it’s for the chillrens safety. Why do you hate kids ? It was a tongue in cheek scenario that no HS teen would put up with because they would call it a police state. They are already calling the President a dictator for wanting to raise age minimums and putting rifle toting police in their achools. So for the missing tag /s /s /s
How much time do you have?
lolololol touche !
Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Please tip your server!
What you said was good. I don’t think its an either or proposition.
Take my idea and add yours. a security guarded metal detector entrance . and then what you said an armed air marshall type person in the school just in case someone manages to get in.
I would add a simple key card and PIN for each student. The kid would use the key card to enter a monitored vestibule and then the PIN to gain access to the school. Also, equip each classroom with a magnetic lock activated by the teacher’s key card. Shooters might steal a key card to get into the vestibule but the monitor, at that point, would lock the shooter inside. If, somehow, the shooter made it past those two checkpoints, the locks on the doors would keep the shooter from accessing the rooms.
“every time there is a school shooting the libs are going to try to take guns away”
The libs will always find another kind of shooting for hysteria and gun control (confiscation) measures. They will never stop.
There will have to be armed personnel to shoot the shooters. Security guards, trained armed teachers, something like that to discourage these demonic punks.
Are mass shootings in schools a significant problem? Significant enough that a solution needs to be engineered to decrease their occurrence? At the risk of increasing incidents and problems of other types?
Full body pat downs.
Cavity searches.
Strip down searches.
Metal detectors.
Chemical detectors.

No cars.
No buses.
No bookbags.
No books, papers, pencils, pens.
Individual cells for each student.
No teachers. Use closed circuit television.

Oh, sorry. That wasn't an educational system, it was a secret insurrection.
The kids weren't going to school; they were going to work, building weapons and war materiel. In their off-duty hours, they were allowed to play video games, which taught them how to operate the weapons.
I don't have a single answer to student security at school, except that if the kids stay home, they'll be generally safer. Will they learn anything?
Home school kids seem to outshine their public school counterparts. This should be immensely embarrassing to the public school industry. That's probably why they oppose it so.
Obviously, all public schools should be disbanded and outlawed immediately, and all their resources cannibalized by home-schooling groups reorganized from the ground up. Only educational results should be the measure of success, and small conclaves of such organizations should compete with each other the way school sports teams do now.
A nationwide educational effort reorganized as described above would produce a revolution in education, which is what is needed.
