How about single entry with metal detectors. Also, the custodians can be trained to carry weapons. They know the schools better than anyone and the position could become a coveted, high-paying job.

Like the wall,Pres. Trump should mention this Israeli example more in public. Might help sell it to the voters.

And wouldn’t always work on the perps

Anyone who has paid attention over the years has read the stories of people who are hyped up enough that they don’t seem to be effected by mace

That’s what my high school had. The hall monitors and door guy were PD with K9

They were stopping fights that had people using knives and brass knuckles and lead pipes. Instances dropped to zero. That was late sixties

And what happens when the perp puts on goggles that are water proof or some other device? All the kids will be incapacitated but he will not.

Just use VR to teach kids, they can stay home with their moms while they get an education with other children in virtual classrooms.

After they are done they can play with the other kids in the neighborhood.

Just get rid of the damn gun free zones. We don’t need to”weaponize” our schools. Just knowing that anyone could be carrying will deter most shooters. Why do people have to complicate everything?

Protecting our schools shouldn’t cost anything.

Yeah, that "sleeping gas" idea worked so well in the Dubrovka Theater.

There were 850 hostages and about 130 casualties from the gas.

That is a 15% casualty rate and these were adults.

School age children are much more susceptible to the gas then adults so you would expect to have a even higher casualty rate.

I do believe this would be a case of the cure being worse then the disease.

And what would you do about a shooter who was not in the class room?

A set of swimming goggles would render this system an irritant to the innocents while the perp mowed even more people down because they could not see to run and get away.

Not a viable option.

Best answer. Put an end to the free centers for public indoctrination.

Insane.

There’s no great loss of children at schools that stopping our own government’s complicity couldn’t fix.

And even with it, statistically school is still probably the safest place students spend their time. (At least has been traditionally.)

Our emotionalism—not helped by our president going along with it—will be our undoing.

And take away "free" public babysitting in the bargain? No way!

BTW, I believe that technology now allows the end of public schools and universities as we know them, but the idea of staying home and raising/teaching children makes most mothers - at least the ones I interact with - freak out. Perhaps I am being uncharitable, but a lot of parents are willing to put their kids damn near anywhere for eight hours.

The First Responder is ALWAYS you. No one cares about YOUR life the way YOU do.

That has got to be racist thinking of yourself at a time like this. /s

Get'em dog pound. They always make the points that count

I think that happened during the Beslan school siege in Russia.

The Israelis found the best method after the Ma’alot massacre in 1974. They armed the teachers.

Another reason for the American Left to hate Israel.

At the end of the day, we should accept NOTHING less

Agree with everything you say, BUT

We should also not accept a social/cultural production line that produces this many determined shooters.
