Perhaps like yourself it is wiser to try to second guess the next 10 incidents don’t you think.

Your thoughts?

What you on about?

 

I am talking about security at schools, lockdown drills, metal detectors for weapons.

I agree it's a sad reflection on the society if there has to security at schools and other measures that you mention, however as I understand it the DFE has issued generalist guidelines against any threat - including chemical and biological attack:

I remember having fire safety drills at school, where we all had to line up in the playground (usually in winter, I recall).

None of the schools I attended caught fire, so was it the "Nanny State in overdrive"? No, I don't think so.

You miss the point.

What is the justification for these lockdowns?

Is there a problem in schools that is so bad that these drills are required? 

Do schools regularly get dangerous trespassers?

I think the biggest question should be why is security needed more than say 20 -30 years ago?

 

Are schools not as safe as before, and why not?

 

Looks like this pampering and liberal  modern attitude towards kids ain't working. Kids now seem to have the upper hand as they know they can't be disciplined.

Say what you want about strict school headmasters getting the slipper out but it looks as though it worked doesn't it?

I can't even imagine what crap teachers put up with these days.

Also worth mentioning that corporal punishment was stopped during Mrs Thatcher's reign. 

You can hardly call her "pampering and liberal"

So I'll assume you haven't found at least 10 incidents that may justify this step either?

Once again, imagine my shock.

Perhaps where America leads we follow could be salient.

Or Dunblane

Who knows.

What led you to stock up ?

Give me 10 incidents ,at once if not sooner

What exactly , is wrong with teaching kids to be safe and how to stay safe in case of an emergency ?
