Even the private school I worked at had drills and locked doors.

Re: guns confiscated on high school campuses: this is an issue of beefs between specific violent kids with major issues, and highly unlikely to affect your average middle class kid.

Re: chair-throwers: this is the real issue at the elementary level. Kids with emotional disturbances who cannot regulate themselves but who the school cannot legally send elsewhere or restrain or otherwise deal with. This is definitely something you will experience that we need a solution for. [/quote]
When a kid goes on a chair and desk throwing rampage, why can’t a parent be called to pick up their child?[/quote]

Because half the time the parents don't pick up the phone. When they do, they often refuse to come get their kid.[/quote]
Do public schools no longer require daytime contact (functioning) phone numbers before child can be enrolled?[/quote]

Of course. But now parents have called ID and know it’s the school calling. [/quote]
With repeated unanswered calls by your child’s school, you inform parents that child is disenrolled… 
But schools continue to tolerate all kinds of nonsense, right?[/quote]

That's...illegal?
[/quote]
How? Parents are mandated to fill out forms every year before their child can be enrolled.[/quote]

Yes, but not picking up the phone doesn't equate to anything [/quote]
Not responding to repeated messages over time indicates an invalid number. Parents are required to update school records with a change of phone number or change of address. You already know that, don’t you?[/quote]

It doesn't indicate that at all. There's a post right under your response of a parent who won't even pick up their child, so what makes you think all parents are picking up their phones?[/quote]
You sound like you’re part of the grossly corrupted administration. Are you? Please be honest.

If you aren’t, what solutions do you propose? (More money is not the answer. — No country spends as much money as we do.)
