My wife is a 4th grade Teacher..

[JK/SEA]

yeah, i know...the 'enemy' to some in here, but she supported Ron Paul. Anyway....today or tuesday she told me there will be a 'security breach' drill using a cop pretending to be an 'intruder' . This has me mildly concerned, but i'm not sure i should be letting my anxiety level get to high, but she is nervous about it. We both think there should be at least 2 armed 'staff' but this idea hasn't been well received in liberal town U.S.A. Washington State. Right now the Teachers are preparing students for final tests, and this 'drill' is a major distraction for that. So i post my story here. And yes, there are GUN FREE ZONE signs on the doors. I just think this drill is a fear tactic that the teachers don't need.

[DGambler]

Do parents know this is going to happen? Have they been given the option to opt-out and keep their kids at home? I would be.

I'd also ask my wife to stay home that day.

Good question. I'll ask her tonight and post her answer. Pretty sure the PTA is involved, but i'm not really sure on that either.

Also, there are other teachers a little pissed about this drill as well.

As for just staying home. Not that easy for most of the teachers because of the final exams that are coming. All the teachers in my wifes school are very dedicated to student test scores being as high as possible...i did make that suggestion to my wife about staying home, but that just made her more anxious and she almost started crying...grrrrr...:mad:

[Acala]

It is just a matter of time before one of these ill-conceived drills ends in tragedy. Someday, somewhere, the "authorities" that think they have everything under control are going to miss something and somebody with a gun who isn't in on the drill is going to kill one of these fake intruders. Really stupid. Not to mention the needless trauma for the kids. If I were a parent I would be really unhappy.

[RockEnds]

So the school has hired someone to come into the school and pretend he's trying to kill them? :eek:

[APAT Warrior]

All a very bad idea.

yep..a cop dressed in an orange vest and hard hat carrying a clip board. Its not certain this cop will be carrying, but odds are he will. First teacher to see him is supposed to get on the PA and send the alarm out. All teachers are to lock their doors, and then cops will be going around to try and find any doors not locked. My wife said if they find any doors not locked, that teacher will get scolded...nice huh?...the more i think about this the more pissed i'm becoming. I'm think of making a few calls, but i don't want a ton of shit coming down on my wife for it....

[RockEnds]

Right? Maybe they could also hire Pecos Bill to lasso them a friendly twister for their next tornado drill. Puts a whole new spin on "pretend play". Holy buckets.

It's desensitization of the children, plain and simple.

If elected as a congressman, I promise to propose a bill where every homeowner be required to participate in a "security breach drill" in their home. I will call this bill, Security Against Future Encroachment(SAFE) Act.

Penalty for not participating will be included on a Future amendment "not yet written".

My daughter's grandma is a teacher. This is her last year. She was really shook because they had a false intruder alert the day after Sandy Hook. Maintenance mistake. She's been counting the days. I think if they came up with this at her school, she might just go home a month early.

I homeschool, but I really feel for teachers whose livelihood depends upon playing these crazy new games.

It's not worth the risk. She should stay home and to hell with testing. And you guys are not the enemy!

She's very dedicated to her students. She said she could get a sub, but she's going to get it over with and go anyway....

Yup, similar to duck and cover drills in the 60s. You know because your desk is going to provide defense from nuclear fallout. Regan needed his starwars. All he had to do was ship a freighter of kids desks over to the USSR.

Too late to plan a field trip?

End of the day its the kids that matter to her. Having her not be there wont make the kids anymore safe or unsafe. Its just a stupid exercise. The ONLY thing I'd worry about would be if somehow the information leaked to someone who had bad intentions. Just imagine.

You mean like the FBI?

Got a tazer?

But 4th graders, hu? 4th graders are armed to the teeth!

Give them a class on improvised weapons... bubble soap, marbles, jacks, spit wad shooters... show some "Home Alone" movies for inspiration.

You could also follow DHS advice and bean the cop with a fire extinguisher. If they have fire hose, as some schools do - you've got a water cannon. After the kids "Gulliver" the cop, bubblegum and dandelion the SOB!

Oh, and don't forget some sharpies...

:D

[bunklocoempire]

I'd bring some cardboard to that fourth grade class, involve the kids in a small arms drawing activity, cut the pictures out for them, pass the fake arms back to the kids and wait until the "fake" intruder shows his face and then "light him up".

When the administrative shit hits the fan explain to the kids why they're not allowed to protect themselves.:(

Might as well learn the truth when you're at school.

lol tangent4ronpaul has this covered already.:o

[tangent4ronpaul]

a couple of layers of cardboard plus a ton of rubber bands might do just the trick!

I think they're already a tragedy.

good for her. it may take someone with a bit of sensibility and responsibility to keep things "in control." if I were her i'd let the kids know this was a drill first so they don't freak out. 4th graders... there are probably first graders here, huh?

what district/city (school)?

if you don't want to tell, I understand.

I'd go with doughnuts, seeing that the dogs themselves aren't really the problem.

I find it interesting that public schools need a constant police presence, and private schools don't. Operating on market principles... if that were something needed, it would likely be done inadequately by public schools, and you'd have private schools yammering on about how many police they can stuff into their buildings. Never seen it, personally.

As a parent of a kid in public school, I would support any teacher who did not participate in this. My kid would be safe at home.

Emergency Preparedness

Safe School Plans legislation requires that all schools have the following emergency drills:

6 fire evacuation drills per school year
1 lockdown drill per school year
1 shelter-in-place drill per school year
1 high-risk event drill—earthquake, tsunami, lahar, flood)—every month
1 drill using the school mapping system per school year

Defining Emergency Terms for Schools is a 5-minute video tutorial (YouTube) for Washington schools to assist them in their preparedness efforts.

The Emergency Plan Checklist (PDF) outlines the actions to take for shelter-in-place, full/modified lockdown, and inclement weather/other emergencies.

Learn something every day - I'd never heard of a Lahar...

Lahar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the Sumerian god, see Lahar (god). For the town in India, see Lahar (India).
A lahar from the 1982 eruption of Galunggung.

A lahar /ˈlɑːhɑr/ is a type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris, and water. The material flows down from a volcano, typically along a river valley.[1] Lahars are extremely destructive: they can flow tens of meters per second, be 140 metres (460 ft) deep, and destroy any structures in their path. Notable lahars include those at Nevado del Ruiz and Mount Pinatubo, each of which killed thousands of people.

Why aren't classroom doors already locked during the day? Is there a lot of comings and goings during class time these days?

[JK/SEA]

Why aren't classroom doors already locked during the day? Is there a lot of comings and goings during class time these days?

some do some don't. Some even leave doors open. My wife keeps hers closed and locked while in session. Note here. Kids go out for recess on nice days..not raining or snowing...just sayin'...

[Acala]

She's very dedicated to her students.

My former GF is a third grade public school teacher and a Ron Paul supporter. She falls in love with her class every year, even the kids that are very difficult. I doubt that she could abandon them and stay home for her own safety. On the contrary, she would probably throw herself in front of her kids if they were attacked. That's one of the reasons she is such a good teacher.

[WhistlinDave]

Good question. I'll ask her tonight and post her answer. Pretty sure the PTA is involved, but i'm not really sure on that either.

All the teachers in my wifes school are very dedicated to student test scores being as high as possible...i did make that suggestion to my wife about staying home, but that just made her more anxious and she almost started crying...grrrrr...:mad:

If you can't convince her to stay home, do you know anyone you could borrow a kevlar vest from? (I'm being totally serious.) Also, if she goes to work that day, she really needs to take a video camera with her, preferably something like an iPhone or other smart phone that allows direct Internet upload. If I were her, I would. (Actually if I were her I would suddenly come down with a debilitating flu. But I mean if she absolutely insists on going to work that day.)

[JK/SEA]

UPDATE: wife just called to tell me the drill is completed. No problems other than the teacher who spotted the 'perp 1st...the 6' 6'' male gym teacher...forgot to say it was a drill over the PA because he hadn't been paying attention at the meeting and didn't know to say it was a drill...soo, the cop tazed him and took him away...just kiddin'...

To answer the question if parents knew this was coming...yes..there was an opt out, but no one did...

Anywho..i'm relieved, my wife is relieved and according to my wife, all the other teachers are glad its over...

Thanks for all the concern and advice all you guys gave...

ok...back to reality..

Glad everything is ok. I'm surprised and happy to hear there was an opt-out, and a little shocked that no one did. I sure would.

[Tinnuhana]

First time we had a lockdown, people came around and shook doorknobs. The school got a poor grade because a student in one room yelled, "There's nobody in here!" Thing is, the "cops" here are uually parents. Biggest problem is being ready to cover the windows into the hallway so peopole can't look in.

[PaulConventionWV]

Why would a fourth grade teacher be my enemy or anyone's? Just because the school system happens to have been hijacked by the government, that doesn't mean good teachers can't exist.

[PaulConventionWV]

Why aren't classroom doors already locked during the day? Is there a lot of comings and goings during class time these days?

Yes, there is. Kids are late for class, kids leave to go to the restroom, kids leave early. Teachers have to leave temporarily.

[PaulConventionWV]

How do these drills even work? What could the teachers possibly do with a fake shooter that they couldn't do without one?

[tangent4ronpaul]

Enable the school district to milk DHS program funds to do this kind of BS?

This is just a political stunt that the schoolboard or principal is mandating to show that they are doing proper 'disaster prep' in the wake of all these shootings. Nothing to get worked up about people, good lord. I live in Seattle, and the schools here are a little desperate these days to show that they are trying to do the right thing in the wake of some scandals/massive screw ups the past few years.

[satchelmcqueen]

this is bullshit. why on earth would they want to scare the kids. or make the teachers do this? i work at a school and if this EVER comes across to be done, i will go straight to the top and voice my views. then the news paper. theres no need to scare the hell out of the kids. why do the cops get to pretend to be an intruder? i just dont get it. if they told the kids ahead of time that a mock drill was going to hap;pen, that would be different. but to have kids think that at any moment they might get killed is disgusting. sounds like cruel punishment or mental abuse to me.

If she is in a situation where she has had her right to keep and bear arms infringed upon it may be better to, see no evil, hear no evil, or report any evil. It's tough call getting involved without those rights. The police can't protect you. Look at all of the law enforcement agencies at the marathon. What are you going to do home alone waiting for the suspects case to role around again in court. There are reasons for such things in the foundation of our country.


Nothing like waiting for that giggle!!!!!

Sorry about you being pissed. I don't blame you and I apologize for making it worse. Maybe when we cool off we could think of something sensible in response. Like maybe it coinciding with early American fort day, preparing for an Indian attack, and the door left wide open.

P.S. Or waiting for settlers to attack the Indian village. Little bows and suction cup arrows are still cool. Are they not?

I was thinking today; What would John Wayne do?

One option we have is to go along with whatever they say, though it could speed up the process of them eventually bankrupting us monetarily and morally sooner. Perhaps then when they finally do come to us for help we can send for those Three Amigo guys and they can help us find our Ka-hone-ays.

1 shelter-in-place drill per school year

Being a cop seems to me to be a mind messing job to begin with without have to pull this on a bunch of kids.
