Metal detectors in school
January 30, 2023
We interviewed some people on their thoughts on school having metal detectors in school. Some agreed that it is a good idea and some others said that it would be a bad idea on having metal detectors in school.
Some aren’t sure what to think they just feel like it would be a good idea just unsure on how students and teachers would feel about the things going on
“So I used to work at a school that had metal detectors and so in that school sure it felt more safe and we felt more sure about everything about the safety and all that but at the same time it just didn’t feel right you know it felt like you weren’t walking into a school where you have to learn and feel comfortable it just felt very out odd place with the metal detectors just not welcoming so I don’t think it would be a good idea to have them around,” said Mr. Deppa.
While some are unsure of the way the metal detectors would affect the school others have a certain mindset where they truly believe it’ll be better with metal detectors.
“i feel it’ll be a good idea given wat has been happening lately with guns and how easy they are to get and so I’m just very for it since I feel it’ll be a better and safer place here and overall, the metal detectors would prevent anything from even happening in the first place and they would feel a lot better around here,” said security jess.
Some just see it as a nuisance and just aren’t sure about the way it would work and are just more overall skeptical of what might happen.
“i feel It would help protect people but I just don’t truly understand the whole thing since there’s going to be a long line outside of a lot of students walking in and having to get checked and what if the kid did come to school early but just cause all the students had to go thru the metal detectors there probably going to end up late,” said security Juan.
Then again some people did have the same overall thoughts and skepticism for the whole thing of having metal detectors at school.
“i think for the safety of everyone I would feel good, but I don’t think it would make my job easier and all honestly it wouldn’t really change much” said security monk
Then some thought about how it would just make sense since they already use metal detectors either way being used in like sporting events and stuff like that.
“In my head it’s the most important thing it’s safety since we use it every day for sporting events why not use it every day. It wouldn’t make my job any easier or anyone’s easier it’s all about safety we have to be present either way it’s more time and work they are a good thing but they can be a hindrance at times.” said Mr.Gamboa
So people think having metal detectors is a good and bad thing there’s certain good qualities but then there are downsides to it but what is more common is no matter the problems the safety of the students and teacher should be above it all.
