Wow. That’s plenty of time to upgrade any CCTV cameras while they’re at it to see if the pupils believe in rules.
Guess it’s time for the good old carrier pigeon comeback. Get ready for Pigeon 101, kids!
But won’t that cause confusion when they need to call authorities as the active shooter enters the room?
It’s ok…Look at these inexpensive walkie talkies and pagers I got from Israel!
I’m curious to know what happens the first time a kid gets belligerent with a teacher or a shit parent shows up bitching to the principal. Policy-making is easy but enforcement is another story and the US isn’t particularly good at that.
Great, now they can swallow the last words they would have sent to their parents during the shooting
