Nothing can go wrong here.

When armored whiteboards are illegal only criminals will have armored whiteboards.

You can erase tear gas?

I can see some limited benefit in these in the case people are trapped in a room without any way or time to evacuate. It could serve to shield anyone holding the door close, and prevent anyone from shooting through the window on a door.
Otherwise, it is pretty silly.

aside from teachers the only other demographic would be nerds, but let's face it if a nerd war ramps up you can forget it, by assault v2.5 they've already moved on to somthing that would vaporize a bullet proof white board.

Besides, after I spend an hour or two working out a problem I would be throwing myself between the shooter and the white board.

Make every room a safe room.

Why lock your doors when someone can break through windows, and kick in doors, and derp.

Dude's going to make a ton of money on this. If it ever saves any lives it'll be worth it.

/Spitballs will also make a great splat when they hit the thing, so there's that.

Can we make the whole school out of Kevlar?

vpb: What's asinine?  If we aren't going to do anything to prevent shootings, then teachers might as well try to survive them as best they can.

We are doing something. We are petitioning for teacher concealed carry. Just because it's not your solution doesn't mean it isn't one.

These can be in the classroom as well. Perhaps it can be a students desktop that detaches as a shield. However, without an armed teacher, this is merely a delaying tactic, and not a very good one at that. Maybe she can hold off the shooter till the janitor arrives.

This is stupid just do what Joe Biden recommended and buy a shotgun and a box of shells and booby trap the doors with it.

I could see education funds being better spent elsewhere.

Maybe America could pull its dick out of its ass and actually fund proper mental health services?
Naaaah. That's a stupid euro idea.

How about a Bullet Resistant Polycarbonate shield that surrounds each classroom desk.

wxboy: How many teachers teach off a handheld whiteboard?

Exactly one, but she's sort of not a teacher. You can tell from the plunging v-neck she's wearing.

"In the event a deranged maniac is hellbent on shooting every last one of you in this classroom, your desktop can be used as a shield. Simply unclip the four quick release hinges, pull up firmly, and assume the defensive position we all taught you at last week's assembly."

Glad I'm out of school. This shiat would suck for everyone, students and teachers.

For the last decade, if not longer, I've heard the Right argue about how teachers are overpaid, how they get three months off so fark them, how they could give a damn less about funding education, and how they could give a damn less about teacher's unions.

Now, all of a sudden, we're supposed to have the money to buy "bullet proof" whiteboards. We can suddenly afford trained security guards for each an every school. Now, the most important characteristic of a teacher is apparently their skill with a firearm and their skill in using it in combat situations.

farking idiots. I'm done trying to reason with any of them.

Teacher of the future:

"It's benign. It's not going to hurt anybody. And we can armor an entire school in days," he said.

I really had to look twice to be sure this wasn't an Onion piece.

Just put a wild grizzly bear in all schools, and see the shooting rates drop.

Even inner city schools have interactive white boards hooked up to computers now. They aren't going to downgrade.

Are you kidding? I can't see a single day going by without at least one boy aged 10-16 in every school starting a removable desktop fight and/or frisbee contest. It's the 2010's Red Scare and nuke drills.

Agreed. Just musing more practical applications.

vpb: What's asinine?  If we aren't going to do anything to prevent shootings, then teachers might as well try to survive them as best they can.

And since we're not allowed to even discuss options that might result in the shooting not taking place at all, we're left with convoluted plans and silly shiat like this. Wonderful.

Come at me bro!!!

/Also, does anyone else think she looks like Blair from the Facts of Life.
//Yeah, I am old, bite me.

yeah this is right next door to . . . who am I kidding. THIS


I will be eternally surprised if anything changes, even if Gabby Giffords DOES raise a metric ass load of money to buy off the other congressional criminals.

Smeggy Smurf: How about not letting mentally unstable democrats have access to firearms?

in case anyone missed the derp

One of the guys here wants to cover the ski mountain in Nerf so people won't have to wear helmets.

No, I mean kids would love it.

Of course. A win / win!

Pretty sure she's single now. Do a google.

But what if the shooter got it first? He'd be nigh invincible!
