Our private has full time security on campus.

Most public high schools do too.

Not just high schools. Our public ES and MS also have full time security, and the MS and HS have metal detectors.

Every school should.

So what. Security cameras aren't going to stop bullets

We have a guard gate before you even get on campus and a full time sheriff past the guard gate

I mean, homeschoolers are over-represented among mass shooters.

You do realize that both Columbine and Parkland had security officers with guns. It didn't stop the bloodshed. More guns are not the answer.

I’m not afraid of my kid being shot; it’s unlikely.

I don’t want him exposed to these f’ing lockdown drills. I may homeschool him for that reason.

I was contemplating taking them boxes of See's Candies (west-coast chocolates) today to thank them because I do believe they stand in the way of this danger and are trained, equipped, and committed to stop anything like this. Of course nothing is perfect, but certainly there are easier targets and harder targets, and the idea is to be a harder target.

In our old school, with no dedicated security (just a security company, like we have) parents raised $ to replace the doors with bulletproof doors. It is a Catholic, and it's tricky because in our Archdiocese (not east coast) has to spread the wealth around all their schools, so politically it's hard to get any kind of major upgrade. So the parents just went outside the system and raised the money themselves; and we have some contractor dads who got good prices and could install. There are things you can do, OP.

Useless and just designed to make you feel better. Unless of course all the kids are going through TSA Airport type screenings prior to entering the building.

NP - not useless bc someone tries to shoot their way in — a former cop shoots them first. Don’t have of you work for the govt - this is how it works to secure govt buildings and at my courthouse last summer, our security (also retired cops) DID shoot someone causing harm.

And at this point, put kids thru TSA screening - what’s the big deal? It doesn’t add more than 20 min like getting thru an airport.

The courthouse has metal detectors and you go through security to get in. Government blds, and my office bldg, same AND you have to badge in. That's not the case at the school, guaranteed. I also doubt there is only one point of entry. Bottom line, security is not the answer. More guns and more controls are not the answer.

FEWER GUNS and STRICTER access are the answer.

Good god, just look at the countries that had ONE mass shooting and clamped down. Voila, no more. We have had HUNDREDS and nothing has been done.

Does no one remember the Navy Yard shooter? A mass shooting in a military facility.

Most mass attacks are not in schools actually but open areas. And there’s no reason why a private school would be immune.
