    Why don't they

    - put armed vets to work running security?
    - once the morning bell rings, all doors go on electronic lockdown and can't be opened by anyone except authorized personnel from inside the building. You can exit (for emergency purposes) but can't enter.
    - all access after the bell goes through a checkpoint room which is bulletproof and has steel doors. This is the only point of entry.
    - Visitors are screened by the vets for weapons. Must show valid id and have a valid purpose AND must be escorted to their destination and escorted out from the destination out of the building. Vets standby while the visitor conducts their business.
    - no more trenchcoats or longcoats allowed.
    - no heavy coats out of season.
    - all textbooks are now issued as digital .pdf's. (Not only is it better for the environment, saves trees, waste, etc, you can't lose them, and if it gets deleted you login into your school acct and re-download it.)
    - no more backpacks and bags are needed or allowed. You carry a notebook or 3 ring binder with notebook paper in it, 2 pens and pencils and your smartphone, laptop, tablet or kindle for your pdf classbooks and nothing else is allowed. If you can't carry it, you don't need it.
    -Everything else is supplied by the school/teachers for in class projects.

    Why vets?
    Locking the doors won't help most of these shootings that are committed by students.

    many are unemployed and need jobs. Not saying the mentally ill ones. But the ones of sound mind and body who are struggling to find a decent job.

    If they arent able to bring guns in, then a shooting can't happen inside the school. Obviously (didnt think I needed to state this but apparently I do) there would be a screening of the students.

    Or... do away with public schools, save a bunch of tax money, and let private schools flourish or die based on their merit.

    This. For a long list of reasons that has nothing to do with the Black Swan of school shootings.

    Separation of School and State is just as necessary as Separation of Church and State.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche
