As well as bringing up how these machines are not infallible if someone wants to do harm that they will do harm. They describe at one school a student managed to get past metal detectors and brought in a semi automatic. So what exactly is the point of these machines?]]> 2019-02-14 19:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331471472 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331475187 Not sure how this fits in completely but it does touch upon how the mayor will address the debate about school safety]]> 2019-02-14 19:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331475187 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331476340 Mayor argues against kids defending “more counseling less metal detectors” as well as finding out many kids do not feeling safe enough to communicate with school safety. the mayor approaches these statements by saying maybe we need to work on our relationship with school safety then maybe we would feel safer with the idea of implementing these machines. however, will his approach of stronger relationships amongst students and school safety really stick? It's hard to imagine that working out well, if we had more counselors better equipped teachers wouldn't that create a safer and better school environment.]]> 2019-02-14 19:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331476340 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331478353 This article does not have as many points as the others but it touches upon the debate of metal dectectors, leaning toward getting rid of them. Stating Metal detectors do not make a school safer that they create problems between students and police officers. These problems create unreasonable arrests and other unjust protocol. ]]> 2019-02-14 19:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331478353 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331478930 This article shows the debate of NYC schools on metal detectors. Many parents are advocates for these machines to be in place of schools.  The article states "For as many people who see them as a means to assure security inside hallways and classrooms, there are critics who argue that their mere presence creates a hostile environment and makes students feel degraded by casting them as suspect." ]]> 2019-02-14 19:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331478930 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331479475 Two important take aways: parents want locked doors, increased camera surveillance and a front door buzzer system, but instead get metal detectors. One kids states these machines make them feel criminalized and targeted. ]]> 2019-02-14 19:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331479475 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331488344 Whenever I think of metal detectors in schools I think of the school to prison pipeline. Which is defined as " also known as the school-to-prison link or the schoolhouse-to-jailhouse track, is the disproportionate tendency of minors and young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds to become incarcerated, because of increasingly harsh school and municipal policies. Which is why I added this article it makes you think can schools really only be a place of healing or of harm not both? And if this is true for some students adding these machines is direct harm for them.]]> 2019-02-14 19:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/331488344 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332440692 However, an important question was raised in this article about the stabbing that occurred. "What went wrong? What is going on in this school, with regard to the overall climate, with regard to bullying, with regard to conflict resolution, with regard to whether or not kids have an adult that they can go to for support in the school environment.” This question should be raised throughout all schools during this debate.]]> 2019-02-18 19:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332440692 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332951845 Ironically majority of parents are in favor of metal detectors being implemented into all schools due to shootings at or around their school or just pressing for more safety. While the children express how they make them feel, whether that be a feeling of being invaded, criminalized, degraded and  a suspect. hich all connects to the school to prison pipeline.]]> 2019-02-19 21:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332951845 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332953096  One solution instead of metal detectors would be more counselors, safer and comfortable school environment, teachers stepping in and getting to know students that way if someone was a having a of day they would be a head of the game. because realistically if someone like a shooter wanted to hurt someone they would find a way. so instead of trying to protect students from invaders or shooters lets try prevent students from becoming them by giving them the resources and care they need.]]> 2019-02-19 21:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332953096 pearlfletcher11 https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332954415 Although these machines can be protective and preventive of harsh situations they could also cause trauma for students and create hostile and uncomfortable environments. Sadly as many school shootings, stabbings and other violent crimes that happen it somehow always seems that urban, public, and schools in the most harsh neighborhoods have the biggest push to get metal detectors implemented. this creates that feeling of being a criminal or target already and that is the last thing we need. ]]> 2019-02-19 21:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pearlfletcher11/o7i6n71026y6/wish/332954415
