So frustrating.

From the email sent, it seems asynchronous is not due to the threats per se but due to the parental consternation and disruption to the learning environment. My kid said that the intercom was basically nonstop with kids names being called for early dismissal. Kid guessed that 75% of kids left. Kid said they got very little done in classes.

I'm curious how the other schools are handling.

My kid is at MacArthur and a bunch were picked up early by their parents. This is too much for kids.

Seems like it’s too much for the parents.

My kid won’t go to school tomorrow- she is rattled. This is so messed up. JR actually had an incident where a student brought a handgun to school. What kind of country are we that people think it’s funny to post sick things about shootings and that kids have such easy access to firearms? The security staff at the schools need much better pay for protecting our kids from crazy people.

Insane parents. I grew up with bomb and death threats so I’m perhaps not the best judge in these situations but my kids are going to school and life is normal.

You the same type to say “thoughts and prayers” when kindergarteners get gunned down?

I think we as a society have grown too numb to gun violence in our schools. The folks calling parents “insane” for choosing to comfort their scared children are part of the problem. Stop shaming people for having a normal human reaction to a terroristic threat of violence.

That is terrifying.

I know our school is locked down, but is anyone considing picking their kid up early?

No. They are safer in school today with police presence than they are on any other random day.

As we have seen time and time again, police are worthless in these situations. Cops are typically cowards.

No, not at all. I am actually pro-gun control. I don’t think the average citizen should be allowed to own anything beyond a hunting rifle. Hand guns and automatics should be banned.

I provided a disclaimer. But the statistics do not support pulling your child out of school. It also feeds into their fears. As I mentioned, I had bomb threats and death threats at my house growing up due to a parent’s job. It was something we were aware of and took extra precautions but it largely didn’t interrupt our lives, which is good because nothing came from the threats. You cannot live your life in fear.

You have no idea what is going on in other families. Maybe they have a child with high anxiety. Maybe they lost a loved one to gun violence and it’s just too much. Maybe they decided they didn’t want their kid to have to sit around wondering wtf was going on in their very disrupted school day.

Worry about yourself.

Maybe it will also be too much for the admins who are evaluated based on student attendance. When they get tired of the bad attendance maybe they will figure out how to handle these situations better. It’s not like murder of hundreds have kids has motivated anyone to care.

What schools other than Basis are asynchronous today?
