[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, the person didn't go to school there, but other students let them in.  There needs to be an administrator standing at the door limiting who is allowing people in![/quote]

Probably the reason why Springbrook High School requires students to show their IDs before entering the school![/quote]
We do that at Wheaton too. The problem is students open up other side doors (not the main entrance)to let kids in throughout the day. [/quote]

The problem is the students….

This statement says it all…[/quote]

I agree. The idea that the responsibility for safety and security of the school rests with the students who trust the adults and the system who are supposed to be running the school is absolutely absurd.[/quote]

You cannot expect kids to monitor the doors.  They hold the door open for the next person and they don't know everyone in a large school.[/quote]

I agree with you. My statement was agreement with the PP who was commenting on another poster who placed the blame for monitoring doors on the students, rather than the system or school leadership.[/quote]

Blaming the students is wild.  And that was from a self-identified Wheaton teacher.  [/quote]

I’m not a Wheaton parent but at most of the McPS schools it’s basically imposisible to have any real security because classes are in portables so kids are going in and out of the doors all day long.  I guess in theory you could put a security officer et at each door to check IDs but you’d need to double passing time and double staffing of security guards, at least.  It all flows from McPS not having bought more real estate to build more schools down county.  [/quote]
