Pssssst! You're gonna need a bigger bet.
Pssssst! You're gonna need a bigger bet.
Let’s see, now...one school advocates getting buckets of rocks to throw at shooters, now this one wants...yes...sticks.
Sticks and Stones...Is that what we’ve come down to?
Someone said that liberals want to take us back to the stone age, and now it seems to be devolving in that direction.
I don’t know about you, but if some nut comes after me with an AR-15, and all I have is sticks and stones...I’m otta there...immediately.
Here’s a nutcase, already intent on shooting anything that moves, and you rear back with a rock, or raise a 17-inch stick...you’re gonna get shot...probably more than once.
This IS laughable.
These clowns are going to be sued real bad.
The bats need to be 44 caliber.
But armed teachers stand no chance against someone with military grade fully semi-automatic assault rifles.
Easily wrapped with barbed wire, though still ineffective.
Let just admit defeat right now.
Liberals. Oy! *Rolleyes*
First its rocks, now bats, what’s next? These people are just trying to do anything except what is the right and logical thing to do. Arm the teachers and staff with firearms. It is proven and works well, haven’t had a school shooting in Israel since 1974 when they armed the teachers and staff. (Hint Hint)
Why not just give all the teachers signs to hold up that say, "Don't Shoot"?
What in the world are they going to do with these miniature baseball bats? Hit a crazed shooter with them?
How many chances do they get to hit the shooter? Will they have scorekeeper to track all the teachers' at-bats and batting averages?
Are they going to get training in the use of the bats? Who does the training? The baseball coaches or the cops?
When I was a kid, some of my teachers and the vice-principal had wooden paddles to give swats to kids who misbehaved. But they didn't have them to fight off armed gunmen.
Here's my solution. First, replace the "Guns-Free Zone" signs with ones that announce, "Teachers Are Locked and Loaded".
Next, buy all the teachers and main staff members, handguns.
This summer, send all the teachers to an intense gun use and safety program. Then send them to the range to practice, practice, practice.
When they return to classes in the fall, they will be ready to deal with any loony bin who tries to harm their kids.
why not hand out feathers? They can tickle the killers to death
They should just ask the kids in shop class to come up with something; when I was in school the kids in Shop class were always making Chinese throwing stars from bits of metal studded with nails.
No one ever got hurt, they were pretty safe about throwing them and making sure all was clear; but the darn things were stuck in ceiling and walls all over the school... some even penetrated cinderblock.
They could issue everyone two of them with enough cord to make nunchucks.
Still not going to be much use against a gun.
I’m afraid the teachers are going to look like the arab guy with the fancy scimitar moves in the Indiana Jones movie that Indy dispatched with his pistol.
I think it would be better to have a score of baseballs in each room.
Batchit crazy.
Well, at least it’s better than a whistle.
I give them props to for at least advocating for fighting back - instead of cowering, and waiting for the police to come and write a report.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They must be those bats the army’s developed to repel automatic weapons fire.
I guess that the “geniuses” in education cannot understand the messons of history. Just ask a Native American if a hand held weapon will protect you from a bullet.
