[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could have a security guard for every student in the building, but that won't stop them from leaving (or insert any pervasive behavior that's common in the school) if there are no consequences for doing so. Security doesn't even attempt to stop behaviors beyond telling them to get to where they need to go if security knows there's nothing that will be done about it at admin level.

If a school has a rule, a school has to be willing to enforce it. And that's where the breakdown is. Kids see that others leave without  consequence, so they start to leave too because all there friends are and nothing's happening, so why not? [/quote]

I agree.  I would not let them come back in the school if they left.  However it is hard because at the HS level, kids are coming to school randomly throughout the day every day.  You'd need more than just the dedicated attendance secretary to screen every student and cross reference them with their attendance earlier in the day.  Then don't even get me started on the kids who call a friend to prop open the side door so they can avoid going through the office.  It's really an impossible task to keep 2500 kids in a building and keep it secure if you want to stay compliant with building fire codes and whatnot.[/quote]
