1. because this is for a better school enviornment.
2. because we need to make schools safer
3. Metal Detectors can be helpful at schools, and prevent accidents to happen like the ones in the past. It can also prevent Students, Staff or even Visitors to sneak in contraband such as weapons or any metal things that aren't allowed at school.
4. All this is because metal detectors can make a big impact in not only the security of the schools but it well decrease the rate of accidents to occur.
5. The administration of a high school agreed that even tho the Metal detectors might make the student feel like a jail house it is for there own safety
5.1. Creating great schools also means providing a safe environment for learning.
5.1.1. I agree, we need to keep the environment safe and let students not worry about it.
6. police officials agreed that such weapon-scanning devices would have intercepted the spring-loaded switchblade-style knife that the police said was used to stab the two students, one of them fatally.
6.1. New and innovative safety initiatives like the mobile scanning program will send the message that attempts to bring weapons into our schools will not be tolerated and serve as a system wide deterrent to bringing contraband into schools.
6.1.1. We can use the technology we have now days to make this a better world.
6.2. In overall incidents involving both weapons and dangerous instruments have fallen 4% so far this year, the number of illegal weapons confiscated has increased 5%.
6.2.1. The percentage has lowered and that what we look in investing all this money and time on the metal detectors.
6.3. The programs to ensure that weapons do not get past the school door must not only be continued but strengthened.
6.3.1. We all need to work as a team to make this better.
7. The Metal Detectors can be, useful in many ways.
8. because what is the point in spending millions of dollars on object that are supposedly to make a safer school but it well only make us students feel like a jail house.
9. The Metal detectors aren't worth the time and money to install them and looking up where they are sold to buy them. They wont help out in anything because people can still sneak in things when the Metal Detectors are off.
9.1. Metal Detectors would have done nothing to prevent, the tragedies at Columbine High in Littleton Colo and Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown Ct(Koller, Metal Detectors.)
9.1.1. If they dont do anything in a airport neither would they do something at a school.
10. It's largely an effort to plug the dike and try to deal with a chronic problem (Koller,'Metal Detectors").
10.1. I think the whole process aint worth it.
11. Metal Detectors aren't useful at all and all they really do is cost a lot of money and it just takes up spaces. If we place one in every door that well be a lot of money wasted and also it well take up a lot of energy and just space also. It would technically turn into a jailhouse and not a school house.
12. The metal detectors are not just only a waste of money but space and energy bca havin a metal detector in every door that are part of the entrance at school, it well not only be an expensive purchase but it well also be an expensive light bill.
12.1. If people can still sneak in things at a AIRPORT even after they pass through the metal detector, i'm way more then sure that they well do the same at a school if it was possible at a airport then a school well be easier.
12.1.1. "The principal and teachers knew that they were making violent videos that celebrated guns; they were talking about doing damage to other students. These things were discussed, and they were ignored (Koller,Metal Detectors)."
12.1.1.1. Even the teachers would ignore whats going on and dont realize that they can stop it but yet dont do anything
12.1.2. a better alternative to a "jail-like environment" is making sure that administrators and faculty are familiar with the students in their school. That way, potential issues can be dealt with.
12.1.2.1. Your not gonna want students feeling like they in a jail system or something because they well start coming to class less then usual.
