Some security

New schools built for security: Visitors must be buzzed in, under staff scrutiny
How nice. Rather than hold people accountable, let’s just require them to log in to a central processing center. I say we run it federally, because then we know it’ll be done right, and everyone will be safe, happy, healthy and wealthy.

Visitor’s required to log into a central system? Maybe the problems with ever bigger & bigger school districts, is that EVERYBODY’S A STRANGER!! I remember in our “Small Country School” (Before Consolidation.) That the minute someone’s Mom or Dad, walked into the building, EVERYBODY knew it; not because of a centralized system, but that the office was above the stairs going from the Main Entrance, to ALL the classrooms, whoever was in the halls was sure to pass the word that So&So’s KID WAS GONNA GET IT NOW!
No school shootings, fist fights & arguments were either settled with the boxing gloves, the Board of Education(Hanging on the Principal’s Office wall and used with 2 witnesses.) OR BY CALLING IN THE PARENTS!!! [This was the final resort and surest way to foresee no more need of discipline!] The parents new the teachers, boad members, and staff, and they new all the parents by the first day of school for their children. (And yes, many of us had at least one older brother or sister’s reputation to deal with or were making one for our siblings.
Strangers would have brought every teacher out of their classroom to find out why they were there.
