[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is a threat of children being harmed in school, why are administrators forcing children to stay in school (either through lockdown or secure the school), rather than evacuating the school?  I’d rather my kid not be a sitting duck.[/quote]

So you think they should have a mass evacuation of 1200 students while there is a potential of an active shooter on campus? Are you nuts?[/quote]

Yep, I’d rather my kid have a chance of getting to safety than be certain of getting killed with a perpetrator in the classroom.  Same thing if there’s a bomb or knife.  People who have some distance between themselves and the attacker have greater odds of survival.  Forcing kids to stay in the vicinity of the attacker just gives the attacker more targets.[/quote]

So instead, we should give the attacker the opportunity to open fire on 1200 people fleeing the building,  and give them advance warning of this plan (they would hear the announcement being made). Yep, that is much safer. Not.[/quote]
