Toilet paper bomb threat prompts evacuation of school

Story: Toilet paper bomb threat prompts evacuation of Addison school

I guess the most troubling about this story, is the fact that someone is going around looking for secret messages on every piece of toilet paper they find. I guess I assume that most people would either flush it, or want nothing to do with it (assuming it most likely has poop on it). But now we can officially add "writing bomb threats" to a list of things people do while taking a crap.

Story: Bag with Kermit the Frog causes school closure

School was on lock down and bomb squads were called out to investigate a bag in the parking lot that contained a Kermit the Frog doll. Authorities are searching for a suspect with curly blond hair, wearing a red dress, and described as having a "pig-like" nose.

Story: California Middle School Evacuated After Science Project Mistaken for Bomb

I wonder if they took the time to ask the student if it was a bomb, or just assumed the 11-year concocted an explosive with and empty Pepsi bottle and random wires. But it's now 2010, and we have to start screening every petri dish and homemade volcano that comes through the front doors.

Story: Teenage Attacker Wounds 9 School Students in Germany

If you didn't know, school violence is a little different in the Deutschland. I wonder if the teen had plans to launch balls of fire from a nearby catapult as well. I am guessing the attack ended when the boys' arms got tired of swinging an ax at people.

STORY: Texas grandmother charged with making bomb threat to grandchildren's school

What do you do when you don't have permission from your daughter to visit your grandkid? Easy as washin' dentures -- just phone in a bomb threat. Kudos to 51 year old Velma Gladys Brewster for sending over 700 students and staff home on evacuation! Do they have Wheel of Fortune as Guantanamo Bay?

Story: Bus driver no bomb disposal expert

Rather than picking up students this day, she loaded the bus with a pair of pipe bombs she found in a driveway. I guess the silver lining is that there were no kids on board, but who gets the bright idea to personally deliver explosives to a police station? This beats her initial thought of taping them to her chest and walking through the front doors.

This 55 year old computer teacher was recently reprimanded for using corporal punishment (Illegal in NY State) on a student. He retaliated by barricading himself in a classroom, claiming he had planted a bomb in the library, and declared he was "on a hunger strike".

No dude, you're on an intelligence strike.

Progress Report: SCHOOL SAFETY- Are we just hitting the Panic Button?

Smells Like: bombs , guns , k12 , panic , safety , threats , zero tolerance

Monday, April 20th, marks ten years since the tragic events of Columbine High School unfolded. It only seems fitting that DetentionSlip examines how this unforgettable day has shaped they way we discuss school safety.

I remember a scene from the movie Toy Soldiers where Sean Astin and his gang of classmates are held hostage by terrorists. During the standoff, the boys are routinely strip-searched and head counts are conducted every hour to ensure that none of the students have disobeyed their higher order. The sad news is, this standard practice often shadows a day-in-the-life of many current middle and high school students in the year 2009. But was it like this even a decade ago?

The shooting of Columbine helped institute a new popularity of the term "zero tolerance." Students as young as first grade have been suspended from school simply for drawing a picture of a gun! Dress code policies were dramatically revisited. (No colored hair. No piercings. No over-sized coats or pants. No bookbags. Basically, no individuality.) The addition of metal detectors have left teens with a sense that they are entering prison every morning at 7am. Many schools don't even allow students out of their classrooms without a legit reason.

Even though the shooters, Dylan and Eric, were not bullied, goths, or outcasts (as detailed in Dave Cullen's new book), they have lead us to believe that anyone who acts or dresses out of the ordinary will be labeled as a threat to our safety. Zero Tolerance can be the key factor that feeds us these beliefs. Although students will probably act the same exact way in school for years to come, teachers and principals would rather make us feel that a threat is always pending, so it is their job to forbid any behavior that might be seen as a warning sign. It is like living in a perpetual fire drill. No one takes it seriously except the administrators calling the shots.

Columbine instilled fear into the veins of the American public. School shootings and bombings are actually pretty rare. While youth have almost become desensitized to these threats (it's just another day you don't have to go to school), some teachers will argue that they fear every day of work because of how unpredictable children have become. A fear that most likely originated the day after Columbine. (For the record, based on statistics, your child has a greater chance having a sex-scandal occur in their school than a shooting.)

So what does it all mean? Are all students suspects? Judging by the number of teachers who would carry a gun to school if they were allowed, some might respond "yes." The label safety is the #1 most common tag on DetentionSlip. This suggests that it is a major concern of our public schools. All we hope is that students are able to focus on their education, without the distraction of ridiculous Zero Tolerance policies clouding their experience. But on the other hand, does this generation know any different?

Book Review: COLUMBINE

Smells Like: bombs , books , Colorado , guns , panic , safety , violence

April 20th marks ten years since the shocking massacre in Littleton, Colorado. If you find yourself buying one book this year, it should be Dave Cullen's Columbine. The events on the fatal day have forever shaped the way we discuss school violence, safety, dress code, and a handful of other policies. The author digs deep into the minds of the killers, their classmates, the police, and the entire community in his detailed, graphic account of this unfortunate day in our history. It is obvious that Cullen left no stone unturned in his research, and delivered a final product that needs to be read by anyone who has ever associated themselves with a public school.

Explosive found in NY school official's office

Story: Explosive found in NY school official's office

This guy was accused of bombing a house a few years ago, so my hunch is that rather than keep his explosives at home (where the feds can find them), he has been using his office within the school district as his own little workshop. This sounds like the kind of employee we want around our children, right?

Fifth bomb threat at elementary school

Story: Bomb Threats Disrupting Student Learning

Just as the rest of us grew up to become desensitized to tornado or fire drills, pupils today have no sense of fear when they hear about the possibility of a bomb at their school. At first they might get excited for missing class, but after a couple of them in the same week it just becomes a nuisance to have to walk all the way outside until everything is cleared. It's just so much easier to stay in class.

Before revealing what item he brought, he gave his classmates the clue that "it is something that blows things up." Well, they determined it was fake when the school did not blow up. This is not the first or second time a student brought a grenade in to show his friends. So it begs the question- Where are kids finding all these grenades? I don't think I've ever even seen a grenade, but somehow kindergartners have them at their disposal!

I would hope a red flag goes up when a high school kid is getting ammonium nitrate delivered to his house. I still have a hard time believing that no one saw this coming.

Prison Conditions in PA High School

Smells Like: bombs , exclusive , panic , Pennsylvania , rights , threats

DETENTIONSLIP.org EXCLUSIVE

Developing Story: With over a dozen bomb threats at Governor Mifflin High School over the last two months, students and parents have all seen the downside to increased panic and security. Most threats have been found in school bathrooms, but none have lead to any suspects or even the sense of real danger. The following list details the daily/weekly routine of these students:
-All student enter the front doors only each morning with photo IDs and metal detector search
-Students gather in cafeteria before class starts
-ID required to use the bathroom
-Periodic locker searches
-Cameras posted outside bathrooms
-Meetings and assemblies to gather students and parents
-Canceled after-school activities
-Silent lunches
-No over-sized backpacks, purses, or instrument cases

The list goes on. What is alarming is the there are inmates in L.A. County prisons that have more rights than these students. An inside source informs DetentionSlip.org that the school has pretty much been on lockdown for two months. Parents have even started at website at BustaCreep.com to help resolve this ongoing headache. While we can only hope that these hoaxes turn out to be nothing, it is still a shame that many children are forced to grow up in a constant state of fear and panic. We will continue to bring updates from this school district as we receive them.

400 pounds of bombs unearthed at Middle School

400 pounds of bombs unearthed at Middle School

There's no sense if trying to smuggle weapons past security at this school when you can dig up missles in the playground.

At some point you would think somebody has information that a WWII training ground exsisted on land you intend to build a school on top of. They found bombs, machine guns and even a tank. And much of this stuff was still live!

I could only imagine the egg hunt these kids could have had on Easter.
