Why are there no metal detectors in schools yet???? Not one school with a metal detector has had a school shooting!!!! How many more have to die? If I were a parent with a kid in school, I would not send them until, security measures were in place. I would sign my kid up on line for school!
# costs money; school boards can’t be bothered to cut bloat to even pay teachers, nobody wants their taxes raised and you want metal detectors and people to staff them?
Monetary waste on unnecessary administrative positions and programs have been a huge problem in the school system for a long time, and will continue to complicate any attempt at improving the system.
Teachers bloated pay? That is a good one. Now unions are problem but teachers are not exactly highly paid.
This is very true,in my area they are trying to cut many school sports due to lack of funds.They are trying to push a "pay to play" type of thing.

The shooting was reported just after 8 a.m. Friday at Noblesville West Middle School, located at 19900 Hague Rd.
Wow just wow, AGAIN? So far 2 in critical condition, suspect in custody.

Looking for more info!
An email from a student during the shooting...
“There was a shooter in the building, luckily we were in one of the saftest closets in the school, I hope that everyone is alright, I’m still shaking, girls are crying, the officers are here and holding the shooter in custody, this has to be a dream, I don’t have my phone, but pick me up in the high school. I love you guys”

Damn media. If it wasn't for the coverage, no one would ever commit senseless murder!
Do you guys even know how stupid you sound?

:
Yes Again and again and Again.
And it will keep happening in the USA as long as the issue remains politicized.
It is media driven. The incessant media coverage is driving people to do it for attention...
Yeah, that's probably it. Not kids being bullied until they snap and get daddys gun and seek revenge.
Kids weren't bullied before 1998?
And apparently nobody was mentally ill before then either.

People in the suburbs just don't want their schools to have an entry protocol like inner cities. Even if it is deadly.

That's not so far fetched.

Well luckily I can reply to whatever I want since you are not in charge here but I do apologize.
However how do inner city schools afford this with even greater problems of finance?

People grasp on to anything for an excuse.
Guns. Media. Hollywood. Video games. Religion.
Murder pre-dates all of them.
Enjoy the show.

why aren't real discussions happening? They all start and end with "gunz".
If a few of us here from different political affiliations can agree this problem is much, much bigger than just guns, you would think the super smart folks we voted into office can try to do the same?
