Whoa, I'm glad you're ok. O_O

That was some really intense reading, I wonder what the lockdown was all about.

I haven't had a lockdown or drill in ages. The closest thing we've come to here is dorms locking their doors earlier. But I do remember from 7th or 8th grade that when we did a lockdown drill, I ended up discovering that our library (where we had one of our classes) had a wicked cool little network of "secret passages" with neat little rooms way in the back. They were actually very hard to find and would probably be very safe in a real emergency.

The lulziest thing happened today. So, apparently, a "suspicious man" was seen at a neighboring school called St. James. Every school within like, a 20 mile radius was on lockdown. So later I talked to my friend who goes to that school, and guess what actually happened...

Yeah, although one of the most stupidest situations we have ever encountered, it was still funny... our school cannot take lockdowns seriously, we all blame the threat on a Muslim from Israel! (as a joke)
And it was a good waste of time.

We had a for-reals lockdown today...I happened to be in the computer lab, so we all kinda crawled under the counters/tables and squished in there. Apparently someone was wanted by the police somewhere within a 300-mile area of my school or something.

My school has two levels of lockdown,
one for keeping people out of the halls like if somekid got badly hurt and they needed to bring in paramedics, or if they have some sort of water main break, somthing like that.
the other level is for really bad crap like dangerous gunmen running through the school.
and we dont say "lockdown" over the PA, we actually have codes, that are easily confused one for the other. infact, if it was real during last drill we had, our teacher would have got us killed...
they are actually relitivly fun drills, i mean its like hide and seek, albeit scary and with craploads of people

in 8th grade a real one just as a precausion happened, but it was the first one, so we didnt get to hide

Now, I looked up where you live and your town is 22 miles from my town, and we did not have a lockdown.

In third grade, I think, we had a lock-down because someone actually was shot and killed across the street from our school.

We didn't get to leave for a LONG while.

22 is a bigger number than 20.

Ah, last year we had 7 bomb threats alone, so the last one the principal decided to keep us all in the auditorium and tell us it's wrong to call in bomb threats.

But this year, we're in the other half of the school, and we have fireproof doors that automaticly close during fire drills, a talking, strobe light fire alarm in every room (none of that alarm crap, we get a guy saying to get out).

Lockdown procedures are pretty common, you lock all doors, close the windows and blinds, then hide and wait. Of course, when instructed to close the blinds, our Algebra 1 teacher who served in Vietnam said it best: "That won't stop the planes!" :D

Same thing I was wondering when that's exactly what happened to me yesterday.

Only it was in a dorm building, and not a school. But we had to evacuate, and the firemen came out in their gear. Bless 'em, though, because they were smiling throughout the whole darn ordeal. I also heard that there was a hookah involved, but in a different room. All of this was on the floor below mine.

I guess the sixth floor guys have some reputation for being idjits.

I just had to say this, maybe:

In the second middle school I went to, in the Cafeteria, they made us into six sections and sent us off to lunch separately. And they didn't let us run, or we had return from whence we came, and do it again.

And by that, I mean anywhere in the school.

Except classrooms. And PE.

And if we were late for lunch, they had us wait at the wall until about half of the period was gone.

Uh, in fourth grade I was sent to the principal's office for laughing during lunch.

Also last year the first lunch was Garlic Bread Pizza, also known as "a slab of garlic bread". It would have been okay if it wasn't bad garlic bread.

That's not too suprising at all...

My school's computer class has consisted of learning powerpoint over and over for four years.

Mostly it's the students that are stupid. I mean, I love a lot of them, they're great, my friends, but the rest...

During the last computer class of middle school, we had already learned powerpoint, so we were doing some basic Logo or some GUI-based language designed for kids to learn with no real power.

I had to draw a truck for a frogger game with the program's drawing thing, which was basically MS Paint with alpha transparancy. I literally drew this:

Image

Then I got like 10 people saying "Awesome drawing! That's so amazing!"

Then I used a domokun for the character and everyone was like "wtf"

For the final project, most people were doing a "avoid the objects walking back and forth across a clipart background" type of thing, but I took a shot at making space invaders. I got halfway done, then I was like "Screw it, he didn't teach me even any of the fundamentals of the language and I have better things to do, like solitaire and dinosaur comics." I handed it in halfway done and got an A, and I got an A for the chick who asked me to be her partner just for the A, but she's cool, so it's cool, and everything was cool.

Gragh. I can draw trucks at that angle better than that. Yet no one cares.

So, they've decided to make a few ridiculous rules, and this is in chronological order:

IDs must be worn.
No shirts must reach past the wrists.
No one may enter the building except at the main entrance.

Now, they put the first rule up to conform with other schools in the area and to make sure no one was trespassing. However, they can just make sure no one unauthorized goes through the doors. Heck, they can just make a student picture and name database, and if they see a "student" wanting to come in is actually a student that way. Also, doors are normally locked.

WTF?

I already broke that rule with the shirt size that fits me, along with the size below it.

Seems reasonable, unless that counts for during the classes (like gym) as well, in which case that's just weird.


My school hasn't really done anything stupid yet, but I'll keep an eye out for stupid crap.

Wow, I can't believe this thread is back again.
Well, duecex2 told me I should put this up.
I went to a private Islamic school as a little kidlet, but only for preschool (kthx God).
So I remember this one period when me and my class had to memorize the Titanic theme song (that's right, "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Deyon (sp?)).
The bad part is: I STILL REMEMBER SOME OF THE LYRICS, somethin about 'opening a door, believing, and then my heart will go on'.

Eh, ID's are probably more convenient for the school district than a database. Especially when you factor in cost.

We have to use our ID cards like a credit card for lunch pretty soon. Also the teachers are invading the kids parking lot because they're adding on to the school or something.

My school is rather laid-back when it comes to rules.

We've got an old lesbian cop (NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT) and two assistant principals who are never around.

The two people who actually enforced rules, the 20something bald cop and the Huge Scary Black Man assistant principal, both quit last year.

So yeah.

My school is made of stupidity.
As for the shirt past the wrist thing, I'd be in trouble. My hoodie which I always wear, like, is way too big for me.

They have had soccer tryouts every day after school for the past two weeks. :| IT'S NOT EVEN PRACTICE, NONE OF THEM HAVE EVEN OFFICIALLY MADE THE TEAM YET!

She showed it to the principal, who's normally a reasonable woman...AND THE PRINCIPAL CONFISCATED IT! And then they decided to ban it. Uggh.

Yes, I know this post is from early '06.

Anyway, FINALLY! ANOTHER MAD READER!

Not my school, but a friend's school did something crazy. They gave a length limit to guys hair. Okay, that's not that bad for a Catholic school. Then, they put a size limit on girl's earrings. Yes. A size limit. For EARRINGS. ("Hey, Ms. Mullins, check out the size of these earrings." TERRORIST!!!) And as the wonderful cherry, some kid came in with a big afro one day. So then the great and powerful administration put a VOLUME limit on hair. All of this is real.

Oh right, I got in trouble for hugging someone a couple of days back. Apparently it's "public display of affection" and will "not be tolerated".
