[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because when there is free access to an open school, all it takes is one crazy person to take advantage of it and we have a major problem[/quote]

I hate to tell you but there are crazy people taking advantage in schools now. There have been half a dozen arrests in the last few years of FCPS staff for having inappropriate photos of minors, soliciting minors, secretly filming in schools, etc. There are drugs in the schools. There are weapons in the schools. There is bullying in the schools. There is assault in the schools.

One crazy person can walk in to any school RIGHT NOW and there is almost nothing that can be done to stop it.

I'm indifferent to this particular calendar debate. The calendar is awful - this won't make a meaningful difference. The arguments pretending that this is a needed step for total and complete danger elimination is crazy and damaging. There is no such thing as risk-free. All the effort you put into bending over backwards to pretend things are safer than they were without your efforts would be better spent learning risk assessment skills and teaching your kids what to do when risky situations occur. Not to tell them that the people with power will make sure they are always safe.

Well Reid and the school board disagree with you. Womp womp.[/quote]

That makes me feel pretty smart, actually.[/quote]
