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

[QUOTE=Campin Carl;39720550]Here in Norway there was a brief newsscandal about NO SCHOOLS HAVING A PLAN IN CASE OF SHOOTERS! That's a slight lie. My last school has an unofficial policy for school shooters, and it is for only one class. Shoot back :v: Such is life at gunsmith class. At first day of school, we had to move guns from the old school bunker to the new one, so I walked through art class carrying a pump-shotgun in each hand, pointed to another door and the teacher opened it for me. For some reason, the quickest way to our bunker, is through art class :v: None of students screamed or anything either, they just sat there slackjawed while my class kept going throguh their classroom carrying guns like we were some arms smugglers or something.[/QUOTE] Such is like in scandinavia here in denmark the biggest guy in the room would probably just throw a desk at the shooter.

OP's school sounds a bit on the extreme side. Ours just locked the secondary doors from the outside during school hours. There were security cameras on those doors too. But you could leave through any door at any time, you just had to re-enter through the main entrance. That was the extent of our security. I guess we did have an on-campus police officer too.

Back in High School, we had a lock down because some kid had a sandwich from Subway in the bathroom, and someone thought it was a gun.

[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] If you live in the southern U.S, I'm sad to say, this is perfectly normal. I live in Hillbilly Hell North Carolina. Where you get socially burned on a stake for being- -Gay -Jewish -Atheist -Democrat -Able to compile a full sentence without saying "y'all". So, as a result, the school I'm at didn't care the LEAST bit about the shooting. Even before, you can just walk in at ANY entrance. Everyone was freaking out saying "Oh lord Jesus don't let them (the government) take away our precious shotguns!" Rather than feeling any remorse for the people in the shooting.

[QUOTE=lavacano;39681728]The alarm isn't to ward off the shooter, it's to warn everyone else. If it goes off, of course the shooter ain't gonna give a shit, but the potential victims are going to hear it and try and stop themselves from dying.[/QUOTE] No, that just makes it worse because instead of simply alerting someone who matters it (I assume) makes a loud focus of adolescent curiosity. If kids hear a loud alarm, they aren't just going to run away, they're going to go towards it to see whats going on; it happens at my school when some joker opens the lid to a wall-mounted fire alarm, people just go towards it and giggle. Hell, in the first moments of Columbine, kids outside heard the shooting and went towards Klebold and Harris because they thought it was fireworks/some silly senior prank. It'd be better to implement some kind of physical barrier (closing gate or fire door or something that can be opened from the inside of course) that is activated when a door alarm is set off, and automatically notify campus security/administration specifically and not just the surrounding area. tl;dr an extremely vague, generic alert such as a door alarm is only going to arouse curiosity and make matters worse.

My school has always had a security guard, but they just recently got a new cop patrol for our school. Unrelated to the shootings, he's there because of actual fights that took place. [editline]26th February 2013[/editline] Pretty sure both the security guard and police officer smoke weed.

MY school didn't do much, we have two security personnel, but they were here way before Sandy Hook. They're both 300 pounds and don't do much either, aside from trying to socialize with the students and weird shit like that. Though we did have cops come one day after some kid on facebook lost his shit, put up a photo of an execution with the caption "I wish i could do this to my bullies" before then going on to name which people he was directing that comment at. Still don't have open campus though, though that may simply be because there are train tracks right next to us and administration doesn't want some stoner to get splattered.

I was stabbed at school and a teacher took me to the doctor to get it stitched and i went back to school. Man up america.

My school hasn't changed at all. The cops just get here faster :v: People used to call in bomb threats every 2 weeks when I was in freshman year, so my school hasn't really needed to change. There's even a sorta sit-rep room for police when they get there. Kinda like a prison armory it's both neat and scary at the same time. For example, somebody lit off fire crackers last week, and by the time the whole city's police force could get there and lock down the outside, the first responder cops that sit in that sit-rep room had already arrested the kid.

Here in Mississippi, quite literally nothing has changed. They day it happened and also for a few weeks after, we were all freaking out about how much our school was going to change.

fuck school in general, I got everything to ever know imported into my brain at birth. Just kidding but your school needs to chill the fuck out with security

Right after the shooting our school decided to not allow perfume and cologne.
