I prefer to drive congress nuts over this. I actually don't want kids all going outside at the same time. Do you realize how easy it would be for another school shooter to come by and have a mass shooting with everyone in the same place at once?[/quote]

PP, this happens twice a day, every day, at arrival and dismissal.[/quote]

It doesn't at our high school school.  Kids dribble in over the course of an hour in the a.m., and out over the course of 3 hours in the p.m..  Kids are usually outside and on campus for a minute or two as they walk from their bus, or the metro, or their car to the building.

[b]A significant portion of the student body walking out, and staying out for 17 minutes, would involve more students outside than any one time during our school day, other than a fire drill, and for longer than any other time.[/b]

The fact that children are scared enough by this that they're taking it into their own hands, is a sign that the adults are failing them.  Those of you who support this, what are you doing to show your kid that the adults can solve this problem.

Our options aren't to let the kids solve it now, or wait 15 years for them to be adults.  it's for us to step up and be the adults. [/quote]

Good.

And if people say that students shouldn't do this, because somebody might shoot them -- well, that's exactly why they're planning to be out there. Kids shouldn't have to worry that somebody will shoot them while they're at school. Let's support this action.[/quote]
