If you call 9-1-1 and tell them that somebody with a gun is breaking into your house, they will send two cops in 10 or 15 minutes. If you tell them that somebody is breaking into your house and YOU have a gun, they will send 10 or 15 cops in two minutes.

The most popular app will soon become DroneBuddy. A student's phone controls a highly effective recon drone that circles school grounds sending an early warning message to the phone and realtime perp video.

Beverly Hills Schools will waive FCC license.

So many schools are being shot up, that now, the smart kids are skipping.

Stop, drop and roll may also prevent unfriendly fire.

Unfortunately, being late for school may save your life.

Suddenly, kids have a foolproof excuse to lay out.

"Mom, I can't go to school today, I'm feeling sick."

"What, you have a fever?"

"No, a premonition."

Suddenly, being sent to military school is appealing.

Necessity has changed PTA meetings into Preventing Terrorist Attacks.

With School Shootings Routine, Parents Turn To Bulletproof Backpacks, Child Clothing

As CEO of the Massachusetts-based company Bullet Blocker, Burke sells one of the hotter goods in the body armor industry: bulletproof backpacks. And though he doesn't revel in the fact that business tends to boom after school shootings, he sees his company as providing a service for increasingly nervous parents.

Bullet Blocker's co-founder, Joe Curran, built his first bulletproof backpack for his two kids after the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. He realized the commercial potential, and began manufacturing backpacks and other school safety products for a wider audience. Today, Bullet Blocker produces iPad cases, notebooks, and school bag survival kits ($400 -- advertised as a "great self contained kit to augment the reaction plans for school lock downs").

Many of the smarter parents are now home schooling. Not just because of violence - the average for home schooled kids runs about 10% above the national average. It is hard to produce an excuse for not doing your homework if you are living with the teacher Research shows that time spent trying to improve is the best predictor of good learning, but many kids do not like to practice. If common core is used, the home schooling increment is likely to jump. Northstar had a comment on how they handled the educational dysfunction, I forget where, if you can find it, read it! BTW, another good read is Ben Carson's biography, "Gifted Hands." For this discussion, the item about his brother is well worth looking at. His brother hated algebra in high school, did his best to have his mother allow him to skip something which would be useless for him. He grew up to be an aerospace engineer.
