Very true, Dan. At my grandkids' school, there is only one door that people can enter during school hours. When school lets out, there are teachers stationed at the doors where the bus students get on the busses, and teachers at the door where the walkers leave. Children picked up by their parents are released one at a time, and only if the car has the number for the child displayed in the window. All precautions against someone taking a child on school grounds........ but I think armed security guards during school hours and metal detectors at the doors would be a good addition. My first thought on that is we live in a quiet rural community and that would never happen here.......... but I'm sure every school board thought the same thing, until it did happen there. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I agree Dan, but with the "It's my human right and freedom to do as I please" attitude of people today, and the attitude of School Boards "we must respect the rights of students to be who they want to be and their freedom to express themselves as they see fit", schools are becoming a very dangerous "safe space". Even in Canada now, I would love to see a controlled access at the main entrance to the schools and at the teachers entrance. Parents who want to bring the books and lunch to their kids who forgot them at home should drop items off at the main office/ information desk, not wander the hallways. AND older students who only need to attend at certain times of the day or coming in from an appointment (Dr/Dental etc) should have a photo pass to get them past the control desk.

Which makes no sense at all because if children are taught the proper respect for police, they would be a welcome, friendly addition to the school and the children would know that they were there for safety. One of our nephews is a police officer and he works very hard to develop a bridge between the community youth and the police department. We are so proud of him and his endeavors, but I'm afraid in some areas, that would almost be an impossibility. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
