[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was at Blair 30 yes ago, we had two security guards. Maybe they were SROs — I don’t know. Really huge Black guys that looked like football players but wore red Blazers polo shirts. Everyone liked them and they were visible in hallways. They knew the kids and what was going on in the school. I think they did provide some sense of security for students. [/quote]

This, when I went to another school.  They's stop us and question us if we weren't where we should be but it had nothing to do with race and them doing their jobs.  One day I was sick and the nurse couldn't get ahold of my parents and I knew my parents would call the school later so I just left and went home.  They saw me walking out so they stopped and questioned me.  They had no issue with it, walked me out part way to make sure I was ok and my parent called later.

What one is seeing as harassing students may be the staff doing their job.  I was technically skipping school.  They didn't know me as I wasn't one to stand out good or bad so it was the right thing to do.

I'd want an SRO or security guard stepping in if my child was misbehaving or not where they should be.  I don't care if they give them a lecture, "dad" look or what ever if its the right thing to do.

I don't get parents who don't want others to discipline their kids and yet, they aren't willing to do it themselves.[/quote]
