@matrix I need an AMERICAN to explain this...
Why didn't all the kids leave the building in less then 2 minutes?
@LukeAlmighty @matrix schools are trained to hold and hide students in their rooms during a "lockdown", which is called when someone unwanted intrudes the school.
@LukeAlmighty @matrix Turn off the lights, lock the doors and move into some corner of the room that you can't directly see from the door's window and hope for the best. It's as effective as it sounds.

It relies on the old mass shooter mindset that either they stay in the hallway/corridors or they'd go door to door shooting every kid they saw. So schools are built like prisons now. Hence why only the front door should be open with the office located right next door to it, etc.
A school where I live had the office in the hallway and several entrances when I was younger. It now only has one open at all times and is strict about who can go in and out. It's all theater of course.

@PhenomX6 @matrix @Nelenese Sorry for spamming this, but I am just in shock over this. Do they expect Superman to woosh in?

Ok, I am stupid. How does it help then, when the shooter knows where the kids are, and has an hour to go through all the rooms?
@LukeAlmighty @matrix @Nelenese Yes, they really do expect police to be there right away and not sit outside with their thumbs up their asses.
@LukeAlmighty @matrix @Nelenese So are the suburban moms/single women who voted for $7.50 a gallon as they whine about it.
