Default Trouble makers in schools - 04-21-2005, 05:21 PM

I didn't know where to put this thread. It's sort of about education policy, so it's going here until it's moved.


Today two idiots (could be 1) decided to pull the fire alarm twice within two periods of the day....all being lunch periods. That puts a major kill in the school day because by state law, we're required to have a certain amount of time for lunch periods and the other periods would have to be shortened to make up for the lost time.

Last week it happened 2 times in two days as well. But they did catch the person and heard that they will be expelled. Some people may think, "Oh big deal. Fire alarms are always pulled." My school has about 3100 kids in it. To evacuate all of the students and faculty and to bring the ambulences/firetrucks/cops/etc takes alot of time and money.


Last year, we had 4 bomb threats within 3 weeks. Each time, we stood outside for 2+ hours. This stuff is just rediculous.

What do you think should be done with the kids that pull the alarms or call in the bomb scare? What do you think the administration could do to prevent these things from happening?

For one thing, our fire alarms have an ink spraying system. When a person pulls the alarm, it shoots ink onto the fingers of the person so they could be identified. This can easily be side-tracked by putting on gloves or wrapping your hand in a shirt. Hell, you could probably use a pencil to push the bar down.
