Serious Solutions to Keep Our Schools Safe

Improve school security with measures tailored

to schools’ needs and resources, such as door

barricades, bulletproof glass, door locks, safe

rooms, armed resource officers, and on-site

law enforcement.

Advance innovative community programs like

Behavioral Intervention Teams that identify and

address bullying and other forms of conflict before

they turn violent.

Allow states to pursue more robust, effective

mental health solutions like more full-time nurses

and counselors, on-campus mental health centers,

and systems for connecting troubled youth to

resources.

Support the role of families, churches, and

other community institutions in nurturing

thriving children and adolescents.

Ensure Americans can defend themselves from

violence by respecting the right to bear arms,

enabling qualified and specially trained teachers

or staff to protect students, and reconsidering

ineffective gun-free zones.

I find it strange that people keep saying that the rock are to defend themselves or launch a counter attack, how ridiculous.  You teach your children to scream, kick, bite to defend themselves when someone grabs them and run away, yet want them to sit quietly or play dead with an armed gunman.  Preventing the gunman from being there is one thing, teaching them what to do if one is there is another. You want to give them the best change of survival and if throwing a text book, book bags or a bucket of rocks gives them a better chance, then I am all for it.

I think the only logical solution is to have armed security, be it the teacher or guards, You can't fix the mentally ill, you can't ward off a shooter with rocks... totally a ridiculous idea!

Common sense tells us that throwing a rock at someone carrying an AR15 is like blowing bubbles and saying La La La when they walk into the classroom intending to shoot....The kids wouldn't live long enough to even get hold of a rock let alone survive.

Throwing A rock at someone may not, but 20 kids throwing anything that is not nailed down will cause pause.  Perhaps enough of a distraction to overtake the gunman or at least have him move on to a less confrontational target.  Why choose to sit and do nothing?  Those iconic words "Lets Roll" still apply.

Surely you jest. Throwing rocks is not a solution. In fact it's a disgrace that it was suggested. Surely, it obviously is a means of diverting the real solution of gun control and banning guns that shouldn't be available to the general public.

Throwing rocks is not the solution, it is a way to survive the situation.
