So yeah, it's pretty normal for a school without fences. <br /><br />The whole "possible shooter" thing, I heard a story in one of my old elementary schools. My last one. They said the year before, there was a possible shooter nearby, so they had to stay in the school an extra thirty minutes. They said it was awesome they got to watch part of a movie. <br /><br />Typical kid behavior, yep! Only if it doesn't end up actually hurting people. I'd be like, "OOOOOOOOooooo SO exciting!" unless if something actually terrible happens... THEN I'd be frightened...memory_lucky12https://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-75434401686382776132009-08-19T12:43:15.366-04:002009-08-19T12:43:15.366-04:00Dick, I'm used to seeing at least 6' fence...Dick, I'm used to seeing at least 6' fences around school grounds, if not block walls.

We'd a stone wall around us, but it didn't keep the sniper from finding a gate! Soldiers were then crawling all over the place.
