    I don’t think y’all realize that not a single staff member or administrator or any employee of the school would be able to use a phone either (other than landlines I guess?). Schools aren’t just full of students lol

      other than landlines I guess?

      You mean that thing I specifically mentioned? Yes, I realize that. Would it be inconvenient? Yes, it absolutely would. Would it suck to work in that environment? Again, yes it would. If I’m just thinking about safety, I’m not sure it’s that much more unsafe.

        School shootings weren’t really a thing until after you graduated you dumb fucking boomer.

        Things change, and I’m tired of stupid trogladites inhibiting innovation because it’s different than what they’re used to.

        Get with the times, or move the fuck out of the way.

          I’m not a boomer. And I’m in no way advocating the use of a Faraday cage. Maybe read what is actually written instead of what you think was written. Hell I work in tech trying to get people up with the times…

          It’s incredibly unsafe when you live in a society built around smartphones/tablets for health and safety tools to remove said smartphones.

          But is it? Landlines can make the same emergency calls. A Faraday cage also doesn’t mean you can’t have an internal wifi that reaches outside that the staff can connect to, or even the students can connect through with a proxy controlling their connection.

          I agree it’s impractical. But it doesn’t mean laptops and phones suddenly don’t work. They can still work within the cage and you can poke holes through it with a landline and a proxy to control traffic in and out.

          Ultimately, it’s definitely not worth the engineering and the effort. I just don’t think that safety is the reason it is impractical.

              They’re at the front of every classroom near the teacher. Along with several in the front offices, even the nurse has one. That wasn’t difficult.

                  I’ve done active shooter drills in the military. The first thing you do is cover the window in the door, which is often by the front of the room where the phone is. The beauty of a landline is that it doesn’t move. You can dial out to 911 and they know exactly what building you’re in without you having to even tell them. The teacher doesn’t need to hang out at the front of the room.

                    Yes, active shooter drills are exactly the same for the military as they are for schoolchildren and teachers.
