[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand all this angst if it is still an issue in a week or two. 29 pages of complaints about something brand new that is at least TRYING to protect our kids and teachers is insanity. [/quote]

Another parent who sort of agrees, though my kid's school isn't using the metal detectors until next week so we have not felt the pain yet. But we all get upset about how many school shootings there are--this is one way of trying to make our kids' schools safer. [b]It should go faster as everyone gets used to the process, I would think.[/b] [/quote]

But we still have people in buildings before school and after school not going through metal detectors....there is also the issue of trailers and kids standing outside in long lines. The pilot schools never seemed to find their groove with this process. Let's not make this that some parents are being unreasonable and/or don't care about security. Most parents want safety and security at school but they want it to be real and make sense.[/quote]

Our school was a pilot, it ran for several weeks last spring AFTER SENIORS WERE OUT OF THE BUILDING. No, it never got faster. Without adding MORE detectors, MORE staff screening kids through MORE doors for a LONGER period of time (e.g., opening the building sooner, starting classes late).. there is no way this ever works. You can't screen 3000 kids with two metal detectors in 20 minutes. Its mathematically impossible.[/quote]
