Make My Day


Having sat through a meeting largely devoted to explaining Bloomberg's plan, I'm convinced it's yet another exercise in futility. We're told that on days they're scanning, we are not to give tests, and are to excuse our students for inevitable latenesses that will occur.

Teachers in our school are to use staff entrances on scanning days. We will know they're scanning because massive lines in front of the school are expected, and even if they fail to appear, the scanners will be plain as day to anyone approaching the main entrance.

Yes, scanning will discourage weapons coming into schools, but only on scanning days. Feel free to pack the rest of the week.

Bloomberg's scanning plan is a waste of time and money.
