We had officers in our elementary schools for awhile after a man left a group home and sexually assaulted a five year old in the restroom. The safety plans discussed were becoming insane...it really sounded like the schools were being turned into prisons, right down to separate wings that could be locked down and only one entrance.

I'm glad that they have such strong measures, but how many are looking for ways to prevent the need for these security measures to begin with? I would feel safer with a school that has a low crime rate and little to no security than one with a low crime rate and guards and cameras covering every inch. Though I should admit we have a high crime rate here. Just today there was a cookie reported missing and two cases of assault with smelly socks.

We've had a few of those incidents here as well. Sandi, you are too kind. I am glad you are finding something of value and that really does make my day! Was that caught on your security camera?

Do these people think the American public are idiots that we are going to actually buy their faulty logic? Too bad so many do! It's amazing, in 17 years, I have never had 1 single gang threat, school shooting or violent act in my school...unless you count the time that dd#1 hit dd#2 over the head with a Barbie doll.
