First, someone found (oh, horrors!) a bullet (probably a cartridge) in a hallway, so they locked down, then evacuated, and searched every locker & backpack.
Then there was a very nonspecific threat written on a bathroom wall, so they closed down again.
Imagine how much saner this community would be with education (Eddie Eagle, anyone?)
Bullet in the hallway? Pick it up, notice it won't fit anything you own, but your buddy / parent / teacher has something in that caliber so you pass it on.
Vague threat? Hard to do anything about that. Make sure the teachers are all ready to defend against a Columbine-style murder-suicide act, then go on with lessons.
Instead people are wailing about metal detectors.
Right, the way to stop a threat from some kid who already thinks he's being shat on is to clamp down harder & infringe more of his rights. Show him who's boss.
No, he needs to be listened to, the realistic threats taken care of, and he needs to learn better ways to interact with people.
By closing down or evacuating school like this, it only encourages these numbskulls.
They want attention. They like seeing how much chaos they can cause.
Maybe if every day they're closed is tacked onto the end of the school year, then classmates will start exerting pressure (or telling who's causing problems).
