Metal Detectors by Allison G.

We might as well put barbed wire around the school and put a watch tower in front of the field to accompany the metal detectors, which the school has provided. I am not for metal detectors because they are invasive and rude. Since the metal detectors were made permanent this year the school has gotten the feeling of jail. We the students, and only the students, are checked (scanned) as soon as we come in, but not teachers or faculty. WHY IS THAT? The school fails to see that teachers could also bring weapons into school. For example William Wilberg from JH ROSE high school was charged of bringing weapons on school grounds.

Another thing that really gets me is that were not allowed to bring our phones to school. So I have to pay a dollar A DAY for some company to hold my phone until I get out of school. I really not feel that’s a very smart idea o not allow the students to bring their phones. What if there any emergency, what are we to do then. When brought up to the school they argued that “if your parents have an emergency they can call the school and we will locate you.” I attested that on numerous occasions and all I got was a busy tone. My parents cannot be on hold when something important is happening. Another thing o I don’t like is that were not allowed to go out for lunch its lid e were forced to be caged in and forced to eat their food. Little by little are freedoms are being stripped away. http://www2.wnct.com/news/2011/apr/26/7/teacher-arrested-bringing-gun-school-ar-981498/
