I honestly don’t think they can be prevented without making major changes in how we live. I’m watching a PrimeTime Special and they showed how students let other students in the dorms. I know our building isn’t at all secure. We joke that we’re secure from 7:30 – 8:40 but that isn’t even true. Since we have portables, we have to have full access into and out of the building. Anyone can get in with no problem and the metal detectors are only out from — you guessed it from 7:30 – 8:40.
You’d have to completely reconstruct our building if you wanted it to be secure — and that kind of money just doesn’t exist. As it just isn’t OUR building that needs to be fixed but almost every building in the country.
One thing that can be fixed though — I’m sick to death of the faculty members who won’t wear a badge — it’s time to grow up and act like an adult.
Funny — I didn’t realize that it bothered me that much until I started typing.
