If my high school were to be overrun by zombies, while my math professor, best friend, and the cafeteria ladies joined the zombies, I would hide in a classroom with a window and lock the door. Although they probably can still get into the classroom, it's better than to hide in the bathroom or out in the open. Also if they were to get into the classroom I could jump out the window and go somewhere else for safety. While the zombies are taking over the school I would bring food, water, a first aid kit, a knife, and a broom. I would bring food and water because the water will help me stay hydrated and the food will keep me from starving to death. I would also bring the first aid kit so if I get hurt or the zombies scratch me and bite me I would
So, the Lake County High School student body was told today by Jimmy Snyder, that we will be having a school shooting drill sometime in the month of November. Therefore, be prepared for it at any given time of the school day. These people know about the upcoming drill: Parents, Staff, Policemen, and the
The teacher rounded up my entire class and ordered us to be completely quiet. We were just informed that we are now under a lockdown, and I don’t think this is necessarily a practice one either. My phone just started to vibrate. As I glanced down at my phone, I heard a distant ‘pop’, ‘pop’ coming from inside the cafeteria. The sound reminded me of popcorn popping in the microwave. Most of the people in my class started to become very unsettled, and then it hit me. The emergency notification on my phone was just another confirmation that there were active shooters in my school. The shooters turned out to be troubled students that thought the only way to get their point across was to take it into their own hands. This is just one of the many scenarios when people that shouldn’t have access to guns find a way to get weapons inside their grasp
This whole reading uses numerous metaphors to illustrate its idea. The author Eric King Watts unfolds his thoughts step by step. And all of his ideas begin with the book Zombie Survival Guide (ZSG).
One concern mentioned about guns was the fact that campus police will not know who the shooter is within the chaos of an emergency. In this scenario, all members of the school will be panicking. Students will run in different directions. The officers will not know where to search. Skorton
Timothy Wheeler, talks about how guns can save lives in his essay “There’s A Reason They Choose Schools”. Wheeler writes that shooters choose schools because of the rules that are placed on campuses. Wheeler’s writes, “[t]he only solution is a prepared and brave defender with the proper lifesaving tool- and gun” (Wheeler, 657). But if everyone has a gun and a shooter comes into a college campus everyone will have a gun out. This means that when the police show up they will not know
College campuses have been known to be popular breeding grounds for rumors. Ask any college student walking around a typical campus for the latest gossip, and they may flood you with more stories, quips, and anecdotes than you may have ever asked for. Some of these stories lead to codes and rules for living safely on campus, as urban legends about campus-related murders and crimes begin to circulate more frequently. In addition, these stories may deal with some supernatural elements. With the increased security alerts nationwide, caution is exercised in all circumstances and a bit of the anxiety and security alerts have spread to American colleges as well.
One fateful afternoon in 2011, David Daigle, Associate Communication Director, at the Center for Disease Control (CDC), purchased eighty-seven dollars worth of zombie related stock photography – convinced that this would be the key to engaging a young and media savvy audience in a conversation about disaster preparedness. Daigle concluded – based on his personal affinity to zombie culture – that there are a similarities to the items one would need in a disaster kit and to those necessary to survive a zombie attack and that this unique connection would be relevant to a zombie crazed society.
Thousands of kids roam a college campus - and it only takes one. No amount of preparation, staff training, or school-wide drills can prepare the university for something so terrible. This tragedy will forever change the way students and teachers operate the school. One man. One gun. And the sad part is that all of this can all be averted. For this reason, the law should consent to “licensed concealed carry” (carrying a weapon with a license) on campus. If students were allowed to defend themselves with their own weapons, they would. Teachers and students should be permitted to carry firearms onto the campus because the rule that bans weapons will not stop a shooter, it will greatly increase a person’s self–defense, and it can stop on-campus violence as well as shootings.
Ok so I want everyone in this room to close there eyes and put your heads down (silence for about 10 seconds then slams book on table). I swear I wasn't doing that to be mean or to wake anyone up. There's a point to that. Now, imagine me slamming that book on the table being Mr. Sheets running in here to yell at you to hide under your desk or get out of sight, or a bomb, or a gun shot. . Not even a code red or orange warning. One second you are in class and then the next you are hiding. Then men with masks come in and tell you to go to the gym and hold a gun to your back. For three days you are trapped in the gym with the whole school. Here, considering our size, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But imagine if,
1. I would encourage parents at the begining of the school year to gather pictures of their family, family pets, the childs favorite toys, whatever they thought was important to the child. Then on the first day of school I would let each child talk alittle about their pictures if they wanted to before hanging them up on a cork bored, or some other sort of bored. As the year progesses if the child really wants to add some more pictures to the bored they are more then welcome. I believe having a place where children can see some familiar things when they are having a rough day can really help. I would also encourage families to come in to the classroom on occasion and share some of their culture with the children, it can be showing the kids a simple craft from their culture or making food, or even teaching the kids a few words in another langues. I want every child to know that their cultural backgrounds matter. I would also love to have a map in the classroom where families can add pins to show where their family and culture is from. each year I would love to have a different color pin so as the years progress I can look back and see all the diverse cultural backgrounds I have had in my classroom. During the day children, no matter how out going or uses to the facility they are will always have a rough day where they miss mommy or daddy so I want the children to have their pictures off the wall for them to look, but I would also love to encourage all parents at the begining of the year to creat a small story book just for their child to remind them how much they are loved and whatever else the parents want to remind their child of when they are upset. The parents would give t...
In the article, “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism” by Sarah Juliet Lauro and Karen Embry, the authors’ evaluate the idea of the zombie and its connection to capitalism and post-humanism. According to the authors, the zombie represents much more than just a fear, it represents a loss of oneself to many different things, primarily to a capitalist society. The authors have come to the conclusion that humans have a fear of what they cannot control, and that is why the zombie is so big in entertainment. We see zombies everywhere, in movies, books, tv shows, fundraisers, marathons, and so much more. They have been around for decades, but recently they have become very popular. The authors believe this is
With increasing tensions amount Students about what they would do in case of a campus shooting many would like to be able to carry concealed weapons giving way to greater peace of mind. "Other students say being able to have a gun could prevent assaults and robberies on campus, and keep students safer if a

...ver your head, and make sure it is safe before getting up. If an intruder comes in, find your teacher, follow his/her directions, stay quiet and act quickly, lock all doors and windows, turn off the lights, hide in a closet,cabinet etc, DO NOT make any noise, and do not come out until told. Many intruders coming into school have been tragic to the school and community. Some of these events include the Columbine school shooting, when a bomb was set in the school cafeteria that went off and shocked the community. After, there was the Pine Middle School shooting, where a student shot and injured two other students. These shootings are very scary, and we need to make sure it never happens to us. All of the teachers and staff know the drill procedures, but we need to make everyone in the school know it. All in all, drills are very important to know and be able to perform.
