I wish, closest we had was a guy dressed as a lumberjack flashing people next to the school...the school treated it like he was a terrorist but when they announced it over the intercom it almost made me fall off my chair laughing.
Gunman in my school
- Thread starter NotSoLoneWanderer
- Start date
Nothing big, excluding 2 occasions, both of which happend in elementary school.
The first on which was when a wolf had torn apart a deer on the school grounds, when we went out for recess there was bones and blood all over the fields, teachers had a tough time keeping us from looking around.
The secound and more serious event occured in 2ndish grade. Two snipers had been driving around in a van picking off random civilians. (one sniper wanted to kill his wife, but if she was the first killed the police would have a good lead, as such he decided to kill her after a series of other civilians) Because of this we had to stay inside all day, keep blinds closed, and stay on edge just in case.

So what your saying is that if you wanted you could bring a gun into school?emeraldrafael said:
I want to go there
Worst I had back in secondary school was a fire, a fire in the sprinkler room. I will repeat that. We had a fire in the sprinkler room of our school. The best part was that it was in February in Canada so it was -15 outside and we were not allowed to grab our jackets.
Twice have I experienced crap like first time was in high school: a kid found a racist/anti-Semitic statement carved into a wall in a boy's bathroom, so next day the police screened every student who came to school the next day almost airport-checkpoint style. Second time was College and a student who texted the campus-police overreacting to a teacher who brought an inoperable muzzle-loader for his history class.
same here, but I was in middle school when we had a double bomb threat - someone said there were two bombs hidden inside the school phones. It was about nine when we had to go out and about three hours before we could go back in - the worse part, besides it being a complete lie, was that it was a cold, rainy, and windy day, so it was pretty much freezing the whole time we were waiting.mjc0961 said:
But whenever the students had to go out for fire alarms or whatnot, it was always on days like that
Back in Middle School, my school was placed in lockdown because of a bank robbery down the street. We had all the lights shut off, we had paper covering the windows, and we had to wait at least an hour after school was supposed to end before we were allowed to leave.
Wasn't all bad though, I did get to see a movie after that.

A kid from a rival school tried to set my school on fire based on the outcome of a football game, he made the HORRIBLE mistake of doing it where me and my pals play magic and discuss video games, he fell victim to the fact that, due to our constant preparation for the zombie apocalypse, we were all martial arts practitioners, we had a combination of kendo (useless in that situation) karate, kung fu, and hapkido, it didn't end well for him.
I have had bomb threats at my school and it was real got off of French because of that so it was good then there was the guy in a trench coat and only a trench coat with a machete the kids in school all chased him around the play ground while police did the same.
Lets see massive fight, like 400 people between my school and one right next to ours the year before I started. We won, being the smaller school too.
Firebomb in a locker scorched one of the shop teachers. Same shop keeper cuts part of his finger off. Next year he has a heart attack and dies. Bad run of luck eh.
Few bomb threats and fire alarms pulled. During winter I was able to grab my coat afew times since my locker was on the way out.
Two kids fighting across the road in the "smoke pit" one pulls a knife and proceeds to get his skull bashed in.
Shooting nearby the school. 3 hour lock down.
Ohh and you know the glass on most of the doors, with the wire mesh inside. Some guy in frustration punches one, glass shatters and the wire and glass cut his thumb down to the bone. Saw him being brought down to the office.
Thats about all at my high school. Some pretty interesting things.

ohh i see, didn't realize the full situation's standards there, even when we had sports practices our school was filled with cars and people doing clubs/projects/etc.. so we never had a moment where the school didn't have people to see if stuff happened. So i guess i just applied what you said to what my school would've been like.Kwaku Avoke said:
and honestly, in our state at least, our private/catholic school teachers don't get paid anymore, if not worse than our public school teachers, and i went to both in which i think i can say there is next to zero difference in teaching levels/methods, if anything the years that i went to high school, our public school i went to had higher scores over the preparatory school a few miles down the road. so "tomayto tomahto, potayto potahto" on that. While it might seem poor financially, some of the smartest people i know are graduating with education degrees this coming spring, so it's hard to call it a poor choice when it's what they want.. (in which case, i don't think the teacher i mentioned quite thought it through..she was a ***** through and through, so i have no idea why she wanted to teach so bad.)
(actually there was one thing that i remember, in our catholic schools we did get to have a dissection lab while in public schools they weren't allowed/told not to, so there is that...)
might just have to move and send my (eventually) kids to your school, not that i would change a thing about my high school years but i'd prefer to send my kids to a school that's not guaranteed with some shit to happen.Caramel Frappe said:
The most dramatic event that happened at my school was a fire catching in the cooking labs. It didn't spread particularly far, but we still had to spend about four hours assembled on the field in the snow while admin did their thing. People who had warm clothing on them at the time of evacuation became very popular.
Hm, escapist seems to ahve eaten the post, we'll try this again and hope the first time doesnt magically show up.
In fact, you have to have a 4.0 consistent and no less then 6 months of any shown aggression in and out of school just to wear jewelry. And if any faculty member suspected you of becoming violent, you were sent the principal's office where you would take off any offending items, empty your pockets of anything the school suspects as dangerous including your cell phone (after the school saw a small fight break out and someone just launched a phone at another kids head and caused some slight concussion symptoms), belts (the studded ones with the metal points and pyramids are expressedly forbidden, as are bracelets after someone get cracked upside the head by a belt), and steel toed shows/boots or shoes/boots considered "heavy" enough to cause some trauma. then you would be given these vibrant yellow slippers that match wats called a "banana suit" which is the slippers with the school symbol, sweat pants with the school name on one side and the logo on the other, and a heavy pull over hoodie with the school logo and the name on the front. usually this is reserved if you wear some offensive clothing (which includes ripped clothing above the knee or short clothing) that cant be fixed by turning it inside out or you dont hav e change of clothes.
You then have to wear the suit home, bring it back freshly laundered and then you get all your stuff back.
...
Though I think the changed the weapons policy this year to wear they're not so much allowed anymore unless your family needs the hunted food to survive (basically if you're below the poverty line and on food stamps of some kind.
Well, its not really that simple. Its very biased as to who actually gets to bring one in. And there's other rules too. You have to take your core classes (reading, history, math, etc) that day, and then you have to be able to skip the other classes to actually go. you cant just walk in at 130 (1300) covered in animal blood with your gun and say half day. so the people even considered for this dont have anything less then a 3.0+ GPA (in fact, its very rare that anyone with below a 3.2 gets the go). (one of) the school officer(s) also walks around the parking lot and takes a small peek in your car and if you have a gun and arent on the approved list you get the not so gentle welcome of three of them walking into the class they expect you to be in and roughly drag you out and sit you in the ICE room while state troopers make their way down to take you to the justice system where you are treated as suspicious of commiting a mass murder and school shooting. so you get to spend time doing not fun things.Hawk eye1466 said:

Bomb threats and the usual stuff that happen at high schools. Twice we got sent home because the water wasn't working.
Although one day the school was evacuated and everyone was sent home early because of an orange... as in the fruit. I am not making that up.
