You can't do that on large suburban campuses. Where I teach there are several "legit" entrances and exits which are manned by campus supervisors- who stand there and check ID's. Other people are supposed to sign in through the office- no lock. No metal detector. Please! We're the suburbs! But we have playing fields that abut classrooms. And those have easily hopped fences. And heck, they're chain link- you could shoot the kids at PE through the fence or from the fence. We are not a supermax. We weren't built that way. None of the schools are built that way in the suburbs. And how horrible if our "answer" to gun violence is to imprison the victims. That's awesome.

I have long believed that a significant portion of the k-12 curriculum should be mandatory and devoted to "citizenship." How to be a decent human even if your life is imperfect. How you interact with others, and programs that reduce the chance of isolation. These acts we refer to as evil are often, imo, acts of desperation from people who have failed to negotiate the difficulties in life. We make time for sex education then fail to address the difficult problems of social acceptance and rejection. Most of these guys seem to suffer from these problems in some measure.
