But really, I totally agree. I felt nervous walking in to my school everyday, esepcially without metal detectors. Kids these days are super fucked up, and will do crazy things without any remorse or thinking about the possible consequences and outcomes.
And I only went to a school of 1,000.
Metal detectors are worthless anyway, especially at larger schools. My junior year, my high school installed metal detectors, but only two.
Suddenly it took 45 minutes just to get in the building, if you actually waited in line. Plus damn near every back pack had something that set it off.
So bags had to be checked, but since this was already taking so long, the checkers just glanced in. If they saw some books, they let you by.
Even better, most people just went to a side door away from the detectors and waited for someone on the inside to open the door.[/quote]
Good point. I just don’t know what the solution is. It’s not like I went to a school with a shit load of creepers, but it was too easy to see those kids that could be pushed to the brink.
I actually had a kid in my seminar my freshman year who called in a bomb threat. Also saw three or four kids in my tenure expelled for having guns. I swear to God kids that are 10 act more like they’re 18 now.
Hell, if you really want to track roots, my senior year I cadet taught for a first grade class. We had to talk to one kid’s parents because on his paper he had a rap written down about shooting people and hoes, and talking about how gangster he was. I couldn’t make it up if I tried.
