Communicating badly
and then acting smug when you’re misunderstood
is not cleverness.

Another disjointed post, not thoroughly thought through.
Parents all over the US are now pounding at their local school boards, asking what protections against violent intruders are now in place, and insisting on more.
Parents at one school are pushing for a barbed-wire-topped fence around the campus with locked and monitored gates!
Do we really want to turn our schools into prisons?
Do they really not understand that incidents like last Friday's are exceedingly rare? That children are many times more likely to die in a bus or automobile accident on the way to the school than at the school?
Do they intend to dig tunnels from the children's homes to the school so there won't be groups of children arriving and leaving? Is recess forever cancelled? Will there be those expandable tunnels from the bus door to the school door so no kids are exposed? Will the buses be armor clad, bullet and bomb proof?
What about playgrounds? What about evening programs, plays, recitals? What about parents driving onto the school property to drop off or pick up kids? How do you know they are really all parents? How do you know every parent is sane?
Perhaps we should take all children away from their parents as soon as they can walk, and raise and school them in secret underground bunkers.
