Let me share a nice related story on how you really don't know a person until you get to speak to them in special situations. The last few weeks of highschool there was a bomb threat and the school went on lockdown, if you were outside during the lockdown then you were stuck outside in the hallway until the lockdown was lifted.

So my friend and I of course get locked out and we decided to just chill in one of the lounges on the hallway. The principal of the school is doing his walk around checking the building we were in ( bomb threat was in another building). He comes over to us, asks if we are ok and why are we locked out. Satisfied with our answer he sits down with us against the wall and somehow the conversation end up on the topic of the Vietnam war, and he completely opens up on his feelings seeing his brother suffer and eventually die from complications caused by agent orange, and how he hated the fact that the US government turned his kind an peaceful brother into a killer and used that nasty shit with no regard to his life. He says it's the reason why he became an educator, hoping that by helping kids embrace knowledge, there will be less wars and less violence.

TL;DR: thought my HS principal was a dick, turned out he was a very good man with good intentions and a noble goal in life.(Edited for some clarifications, its to type on the phone.)

i was a constant trouble maker in school, saw my vice-principal on several occasions, he was ex-military, but very kind and understanding, he often found my pranks amusing, and wrote them off as "stress relief"

3 days before the end of my junior year, me and a girly friend were skipping the last period, chilling in an empty corridor, when out of nowhere pops the vice-principal(name is forgotten), its about 7 mins before the bell to leave rings, he saunters over, checks his watch, and begins singing the theme song from the monkees tv series, "here we come", and i join in, as the bell rings, the halls are flooded with students, and we all 3 just laugh, he waves and wanders away

TL;DR: good educators are what make school worthwhile

I used to live on the coast in NC. Once in high school they made us go to school during a tropical storm. About halfway through the day they decide to let everyone out early.. DURING A FUCKING TROPICAL STORM. All the roads were flooded very badly. If my house had not been on a hill, it would have been completely flooded. The worst part was that in NC there are fire ants everywhere. When fire ants get stuck in water, they float. When the kids that were walking home, walked through the water they got all bit up. Not to mention that there are several types of venomous snakes that love to come out and swim around in the water looking for the flushed out rodents.

...well, fuck...that really sucks. I live in New Orleans (but didn't grow up here), but since I moved to town a few years ago we haven't had any evacuation stuff and only one minor "scare" with Irene this past summer. But people are definitely on-edge when it comes to hurricane stuff, so I think they're very cautious and just shut the schools down if there's a threat coming our way. Thus they avoid kids walking home in tropical storms plagued by flesh eating ants or anything like that.

I live in Minnesota and school is rarely cancelled due to weather. One day during my senior year, we got a ton of snow and ice dumped on us. One bus went into the ditch, but no delay or anything. Then they got the brilliant idea to let us out at 1, during the storm. It took me an hour to drive what normally took 10 minutes.

I was in a school lockdown in 5th grade, because some 2nd grader claimed he saw a man with a gun. It was pretty much the coolest thing ever watching the SWAT Team land in helicopters on the soccer field. (Room had a window). Unfortunately this was pre-reddit.

[–]jbillzz33 33 points34 points ago

When I was in 7th grade, this kid got knifed in our school and we went into a lockdown and like an hour into it, my teacher decided to pop his head out the door to see what was going on and we heard a bunch of men yelling, "PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM!" Teacher popped out the door as soon as the SWAT Team was rounding the corner in their sweep of the school. And that's how my Math teacher almost got his head blown off.

Let me tell you a story about guys and girls and assumed guilt.

Back in eighth grade, there was this weirdish kid. He wasn't the class clown, but he acted like a clown. Skinny, shaved head, bad taste in humor and a tendency to make newspaper hats. Funny name, too.

One day, someone stole his lunch from his lunchbox. The principle, who was also the headmaster and our Bible teacher, called all the 8th-grade boys into a single room, now. He was rather pissed. He chewed us out for about 15 minutes until a rather quiet choirboy pierogi stood up and started shouting back at the teacher, claiming that he had no evidence whatsoever to assume that it was a boy. The pierogi and the principal stepped outside, and after a few minutes of "Wow, he's got balls" the principal returned with the pierogi, apologized, told us that it was one of the girls (and he was going to have a talk with her very soon), apologized again and told us that we were free to go.

tl;dr: Pierogi stands up to principal on principle.

So let me get this straight. Somewhere in the school, there's a student with a gun locked in a room with a bunch of people, and nobody knows who it is? That doesn't sound safe at all.

[–]fswmacguy 8 points9 points ago

Most likely there hasn't actually been a gun sighted. It probably started as a rumor which spread to the staff.

[–]tits_hemingway 6 points7 points ago

Rough, man. I went to HERH and am honestly surprised we haven't had a gun threat there. How are your teachers handling it? Whenever we had lock-down (called Code Blue at the time), ours didn't even enforce anything. Usually they just locked the door and kept teaching.

[–]eyesidol[S] 24 points25 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As far as I know, the teacher does't know whats going on untill the police show up to thier room. I know its happenning because my dad is a School Board offical and filled me in. My art teacher still thinks its a drill, and im conflicted on weather i should tell her.

[–]Augie_G 12 points13 points ago

When I was in 11th grade, my school went into lockdown for a gun threat. This was at 2:55. We had to sit after school for 2 hours before we could leave.

The next year, I was put on probation for drug paraphernalia. I ended up violating probation and was sent to a group home to live for about 5 months. While there, I met someone. The guy that brought the gun.

Turns out it was a bb gun and he waved it at the bus driver while walking through the parking lot. I bitched him the hell out for making me have to spend an extra 2 hours at school.

And i imagine that there will be more arrested for drug paraphenalia than anything, which is sad and stupid. There are bigger problems than bongs.

You know the kid is probably in the girls bathroom or somewhere like that. Seriously it's the perfect hiding spot. Also it would be really funny if the kid was on reddit right now.

I have a story from when I was in high school that no one will see but it makes me laugh to this day.

It was early morning first block and we're in the commons (basically a lunchroom) far from our classroom practicing our sign language for an up in coming assembly (think Napoleon Dynamite). Our deaf teacher is wandering around our circle making corrections when an announcement is called over the loudspeaker "CODE RED. THIS IS A CODE RED." Someone has a weapon on campus. The interpreter grabs our teachers attention and rapidly signs out the announcement. With no regard to us, our 40 year old overweight teacher fucking BOOKS IT back to the classroom without saying anything to us. Our class of 30 scatter into the different classrooms before the doors close and lock. Me and 2 other students and the interpreter make it back to the sign language room. Teacher looks around, "What the hell happened to everyone else!?"

There were quite a few lockdowns in my area (In Ontario) when I was in highschool. During final exams one year, a school near us got shut down cuz a student stabbed a teacher and another student.

Why hasn't your teacher demanded all the students shut down their phones? I was under the impression that that's standard protocol.

My school had a bomb thread a couple years back, school did absolutely nothing. We all sat in the Gym during a presentation (600-1000 of us, a quarter of the school) waiting.

The bomb thread was etched on the bathroom wall with the date, and message "Enjoy being in pieces, fuckers."

TL;DR: I died.

EDIT: If you see him, tackle him, be a hero, get bitches, ???, profit.

Step 1: Say there is a gun threat

Step 2: Search all the lockers for said gun

Step 3: Bust all the stoners under the pretense of looking for weapons

Step 4: Corrupt outdated system profits

I had that happen to me while I was in some computer class. They came through each classroom and the superintendent himself inspected each backpack and its contents. We were there for 4-5 hours, the greater part of the day.

Been there, luckily I was in the office with a bunch of mom volunteers doing sign ups for the prom when we got locked in. I had cookies and coffee and we watched the Price is Right (the one before Drew Carey ruined it).

Why do I remember all this crap and not basic high school physics?

Yes actually,juat did. They stopped with the metal detector right over my belt and aks "what are you hiding?" Trriesd to lift up my shirtt and show up him belt, but he said "no" and did it for me. Got off fine in the end, and he apologized for the missunserstanding. No hard feelings from me at all.

i set off a metal detector at the airport, a lady waved the wand over me and it beeped near my feets. She asked "Do, you mind if I pat down your lower legs?" I replied "Are you going to buy me diner first?" She gave me a dirty look. I giggled.

We've never had such threats at my school (or in my country, for that matter), so excuse me if this sounds stupid, but... Why don't they just let you leave if they've checked you for guns?

If you heard gunshots would go for the window? I feel like the most logical thing when someone starts firing is to throw a chair out the window and start running.

[–]chucknorrisismyson 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if another student was actually carrying a gun, like OP claims.

"someone had reported an individual on Townsend Avenue with what they believe was a weapon, walking towards Willow Street"

Apparently someone claimed to see someone else walking down a street with what they apparently thought was a "weapon" and alerted the police, who then alerted the school, who then shut down 3 separate schools in the area.

I was in a school lockdown in 5th grade, because some 2nd grader claimed he saw a man with a gun. It was pretty much the coolest thing ever watching the SWAT Team land in helicopters on the soccer field. (Room had a window).

Usually when they do these lockdowns and claim a student has a gun, it is simply a drill to make sure their lockdown procedures are working properly. I had this happen twice at my HS and both were drills.

when I was in high school, we had a kid bring in several pipe bombs, and we just had to sit outside for an hour or so while the bomb squad detonated them. Most of the time was spent waiting for the bomb techs to get there I imagine as I went to HS in a very small town, no swat for our local PD lol. But in this case I knew the kid, I was 99.9% sure he wasn't going to do anything with them. Glad nothing serious resulted from your incident either.
