With all the dangers of this world and terrible places that surround us, parents would hope that school is a place that their kids can get away from all the dangers and be protected. Sadly, it has become difficult to keep schools safe from all harms. Therefore security has to be improved upon.
Schools are implicating more in depth systems for you to be able to get in. No matter how protected the school is from visitors there is still the aspect of the students and teachers. I believe that there will be danger in school no matter how hard we work to keep it safe.
Our freedoms at school are taken away slowly over time to protect us and I appreciate their want for our safety, but if someone really wants to accomplish a task they will find a way to do it with what they have. I understand that we need protection to an extent but I also realize that we won’t always have these forms of protection and at some point we will have to face the real world and realize that we won’t always have somebody watching over us so strictly.
It’s hard to know the difference between a joke and a threat for teachers randomly listening in on a conversation which causes them to have a hard time punishing them if they really are bullying.
All in all school safety will always be an issue and we will always try to find a way to fix it. Statistics will go from good to bad again and again. There will be a lot of good people who come and go but there will also be those with bad intentions mixed in there. That leaves it up to the parents to shield their children from as much every day danger as possible with home schooling or let them learn that the world can be dangerous in a well-protected environment at public school.
