That's my daughter's school. She says all her teachers are like that, even the PC ones. She took it in stride yesterday but today she was a little traumatized. The girls went to the booster club meeting tonight and one of the guys who tackled the bomber was guarding the door, Mr. Canda.
Unlike Columbine, there was no hesitation of any kind and the security was quite sensible and effective. Teachers and Students reacted immediately, first Police on the scene entered the building upon arrival. My daughter's class was at the evacuation site within 15 minutes of the incident.
Later the SFPD bomb squad detonated the bombs. They accidentally blew out some windows in the school. Oh Well.
Isn't the school about 80% window? On the exterior, anyways, it seems like all window, with a bit of huge I-beam thrown into the mix.
We used to use those I-beams to gain entrance to the interior when we forgot our homework. I even remember my dad driving me to the school when I neglected to bring home an assignment in about 1986. His words still reverbrate in my ears: "Get to climbing".
I am a Hillsdale Knight, class of 87.
