My school went full retard ever since the Sandy Hook shooting - General

[QUOTE=revanade;39666848]My school's taken no security precautions except for locking all of the gates, except for the front one, before and after school (we're a closed campus). There's been no real changes to security policy besides that, or actual hardware, just locking the gates and making it a real pain in the ass to leave or enter. I'm not even really sure what locking the gates is supposed to do besides lock the students in the school, in case of fire.[/QUOTE] My school is filled to the max with drugs. The hallways smell of weed every lunch period and there's always someone getting arrested every day. Not like anyone cares. The only form of security we have are cameras in each hallway.

As of this date last year, my school had the following security in place: - An on-campus cop and two "security guards" (unarmed, generally the most they do is escort kids to the office of whichever vice principal wants to talk to them) - Lock all building doors after hours, and one set of doors on the A building is locked 24/7 (though you can still leave through those doors) - You are not permitted to leave campus except during lunch, and freshman/sophomores don't even get that privilege (they only check your student ID if you look like you shouldn't be leaving though). - If you drive, you are not permitted to access your car during school hours (except during lunch, see above) - There's an alleyway that's generally fenced off. As far as I can tell, they haven't stepped up security since Sandy Hook. I graduated last year so I can't say for 100% certain, but I'm friends with a lot of people who still go there and nobody's bitched about security changes to the best of my knowledge

[QUOTE=OneFourth;39665559]I was watching a guest speaker give a lecture on the JFK assassination (his name was Dr. Pete) and the other teacher left class, and came back with the same type of rifle used to kill JFK. He stood in the back of the room and cocked it to get everyone's attention, scared me shitless. The hammer was removed, it was only trigger and bolt mechanism. So yeah, my school hasn't really given a fuck.[/QUOTE] That's fucking hilarious, I love teachers like that :v: We were learning about the history of the American South-west, and my history professor (who is fucking hilarious, by the way) brought in a legitimate lever-action rifle in .30-30, with the pin taken out. He would walk around the classroom slowly while lecturing, and if he noticed that you were at all nervous, he'd slowly walk up behind you and then cock the lever as fast as he could. While we were learning about WWII he would bring in all kinds of things, like an old Army helmet that he would have students wear, and then if they agreed to it other students could whale on the helmet to see how well it worked :v:

Me too, except my school is my room because I study online. I really don't want anyone to catch me fappin'.

My school just got a skinnier resource officer to compliment the old fat one.

Our district has done similar things. After the Virginia Tech massacre, they gave us a strict limit (about 30) on the number of times we could go to the bathroom, and every time you went you had to get a teacher to sign off with date and time. After the Newtown massacre, they banned us from going outside during school hours under penalty of suspension. The town also ordered cops to walk around campus for a day, to "make us feel safer".

Only 20 stoners? Wtf kinda judgement is that? Just be on lookout for hacky sack drug rings, that's where it all goes south. Fuckin bigot.

Thank god none of this shit happens at my school. I'm a lucky bastard.

I live in the middle of hickville in Texas, they started locking the exterior doors but otherwise they don't care, we're even allowed to carry knives.

The only difference I noticed is that our science classrooms now have locks on the drawers.

A kid got recently suspended in my HS for doing finger pistols. :v:

[QUOTE=cheetahben;39670478]Somewhat unrelated, but am I the only one that finds the concept of school lockdowns really dumb? The armed gunman runs into the school and sees nobody, "OH, WELP, I GUESS THEY ALL JUST UP AND LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL DAY."[/QUOTE] Well the doors are locked they can't get in and if you're under desks they can't really shoot at you through windows. It's better than, from what one of my online friends told me about their drills, apparently lining up everyone outside which would probably make it a lot easier for somebody to shoot at them.

There was a fucking riot at my school two years ago and all they did was add a cop (awesome guy too). I just don't know whats going on with your school.

Our school has a fat dude who sits in the hallway as a security checkpoint. that's it.

We recently had security stepped up near the school. Not because of the Sandy Hook shooting, but because there was a shootout between the police and some dudes living in a grow house nearby.

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;39665465]get in line[/QUOTE] Hey you, pick up that can.

My school is mostly stoners, it's close to the chicago area, and someone just got expelled for punching a cop in the face + 3rd drug offense. The most my school did was post an extra cop in the school for a total of two (2) cops. :v: [editline]21st February 2013[/editline] Oh wait, they did a code-red lockdown drill and fired blanks. [url]http://www.myfoxchicago.com/story/20805637/cary-grove-high-schools-code-red-drill-involves-firing-blanks[/url]

Update on my door alarm shit at my school... They added a second sign and even put danger tape around the doors, because, you know, that's going to stop someone.. a thin piece of tape.

Wow, and I thought it was bad that my school put locks on every door (every single door automatically locks on closing so basically only certain teachers can actually open them), that may be annoying, but it's nowhere near this bad.

Wow, OP's school sounds pretty crazy. At my school, we have either 4 entraces (not counting the huge windows on ground level, which all lead into classrooms), or a single entrance and a garage door that's locked from the inside. No security guards, no IDs (we have student IDs, but they are just for showing that we are actually students, for discounts and such), school's not fenced in, no nothing. Someone could easily sneak onto the school property if they wanted to. We're allowed to walk around on campus whenever we want to (well, we'll get a mark if we leave class, but as long as our teacher has given us permission, or we don't have a teacher, it's fine), we can go down to the mall if we want to, or if we have time during lunch (or skip class) we can go downtown and eat at a fast food shop of some sort. The only drill we've had is a fire drill, don't know what we'll do during a fire, 'cause I wasn't there, but we do seem to have a sort of speaker system, there's a bunch of old speakers around school, at least.

The only thing our school did was lock the doors that go directly into the hallways when it isn't lunch or breakfast.

In my school, All they added was that one buzz to open door. Though my homeroom teacher said, If someone came into the school and started shooting, He wouldn't follow the protocol of staying in a corner, We would break the windows and run like hell. He is my favorite teacher. [sp]He also plays KSP, Oblivion, Morrowind, Skyrim, Counter-strike, Age of Empires, has seen Monty Python, and is overall an awesome guy.[/sp]

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;39666304]meanwhile my school (university) thinks it's a good idea to force everyone out of the dorms for a few minutes for a fire drill with snow on the ground with an unlucky few who were showering at the time[/QUOTE] It's even better at 2 in the morning in the pouring rain.

How about the media just stops publishing these shootings in the same way and reinforces to every kid who wants attention or feels hard done by that blasting kids away is an acceptable way of gaining notoriety?

have a group of students open all alarmed doors at the same time, every day, at the most inconvienient times

was on a private high school, no security or whatsoever now in college, no security or whatsoever i feel safe

My school prides itself in safety. We have passcoded locks on all the doors! Except the passcode is 13579 and everyone knows it and there is no secondary way of locking the door (so once you punch in the code you're inside). Panthers: Committed to Excellence!

Here happened something opposite(i am in Serbia),because this one school was [I]extremely[/I] westernized and pussyfied,they wanted to make it into a concentration camp with security,they did this so much they managed to piss of the government itself and the schools entire administration was arrested. The school is now a waste yard
