Maybe they're grasping at anything to try make the students believe they have the ability and the power to defend themselves.

Poor kids would probably end up hitting each other.

When I read this online, I thought it was a bad joke on a slow news day! Insane!

I agree with occasional rain. Practice playing dead. I read that one of the Newtown (sp) students survived by hitting the floor, and pretending to be dead (along with his shot classmates). {#emotions_dlg.sad}

I'd love to listen in on a faculty room conversation in that school! That thinking is scary on so many levels.

Re: Let students hurl canned food at intruders - Good idea or bad idea?

Does anyone know whether the school has ever been attacked or had threats? The news reports I saw didn't mention this. If it hasn't, why are they even planning such a silly thing? These attacks are very rare. I think this just heightens anxiety in the student body, very likely for no good reason. It reminds me of the "duck and cover" I've heard people talk about during the Cold War.

Well, I don't know if it would work or not, heck books weigh more than cans.

I think pea shooters and rubberbands would be fun for the kids, but of course the schools would never let that happen.
