A gaping hole in school security or am I being an over reactive parent?

They should also make it so once you are old enough to get a job, then you don't have to go to school anymore. If kids want to drop out when they are 15 and their parents don't have anything to say about it, then they should let them.

Less kids that don't want to be at school = better environment for the kids that do want to be there.

But do kids really know what's best for them at 15?

[Irving]

Nope, but like I said, if their parents don't care enough to keep them in school they aren't going to go anyway. If the parents don't care enough, then I don't care about them either. Also, even if the kids don't know what is best for them, I'll NEVER admit that the state knows what's best for anyone, ever.

Iamhunter I think you are missing the point about locking the strangers out and not locking the kids in. Your comments regarding "locking them in as a means to an end" is a fallacy, its not related. They are not locking the kids in, I don't think you understand that, besides it would be a huge fire and safety hazard to lock the kids in. Also when you compare Highschool to Elementary or Middle School you are comparing apples and oranges when it comes to the safety of kids. The cognitive abilities are smaller kids are vastly different than older kids.

I'm going to assume you don't have kids. If you had kids you would understand the concern a little better. What happened to his daughter is completely unacceptable and the security of smaller children is a primary concern for parents. As a parent we have to be able to trust that the schools are not only going to ensure their education but their safety as well.

If society was harsher on criminals that harm children things would be different. But because of bastard organizations like the All Criminal Liberation Union (ACLU) and other Amnesty groups these criminals know they have a better chance of avoiding persecution. The solution is simple, cut their dicks off or kill them. Then we could leave the schools wide open and not have to worry.

am a senior in highschool and they don't lock you in you can get out if the door is locked all the doors are unlocked till ten min after the bell rings but you no what happened at that middle school were the that kid brought that rifle and was shooting i ask were is the security people i mean here at my school if you are wearing a hat you go to the office so they need to be more concerned about people in the school then hats and dumb BS like that and my sister goes to the middle school next to me and if you just take a glance at the so called security guy you relize he is about 300 pounds over weight and could not help any one he can't even help him self and when i am saying 300 pounds over weight i am not joking so i just want to know what happens if some one tries to get in the school to take over or soming like that.

[iamhunter]

Refryguy, I get it.

But like you said, the problem isn't schools, it's with society.

If people focused more on fixing societal problems, and less on pursuing band-aid type fixes, we might actually get somewhere.

Otherwise things just get worse and worse.
