OK, I'm in this service club. We go to schools to teach kids about brain safety like wearing helmets, buckling seat belts, don't touch guns, etc. Since I've been doing this, the schools all are locked. I ring the bell, identify myself, and go to the office to sign in. I usually get a sticker identifying me as a visitor. Today, I had to give the school secretary my driver's license. Then I got a visitor sticker with my picture on it.
OK, after Sandy Hook (and even before) schools were locked. I get it, but that doesn't mean I like it. Or is this just a things kids have to live with? Is locking the schools the equivalent of the "duck and cover" drills we had in school? We'd go out into the hall and get on our knees and cover our heads. And at the end of the day, we left and never gave the threat of a bomb a second thought. I hope the kids today can be as resilient.
