re: #44 Scottish Dragon

To be fair…the new schools here in NC are single entrance schools. The fire exits etc are carded entry and can only be used by staff.

However…the cost for tearing down all the pre 2000 schools and building to the new code is WAAAYYYY beyond what the red state tax cutters are even remotely going to be willing to pay…and to give you some idea…we are using 100 year old school buildings right here in my own district. My kid’s high school is a century old. Ferndale Middle School in High Point looks like a gothic set from a Batman movie.

Nobody is going to pay to replace these schools.

I understand your point. But I wasn’t really taking about school buildings in my comment. I was hinting at all the other differences from their time in school and kids in school now.

There have been a lot of social and political changes that make the open buildings less safe.

As I said in the last thread…we have human problems bigger than hardware problems.
