Thankfully school shooting are so rare here, it’s not a concern, also the teachers probably still have their phones.

It’s Scotland no america for fucks sake 😂
Not the brightest lightbulb in the pack is she now 😂
It’s fine, we can just arm the kids instead. Won’t need to call for help if they are packing. /s
Idk how the culture is in scotland, but i know damn well teenagers are crafty enough to bypass this somehow. I also can’t imagine being a teacher trying to keep their attention in this day and age. Probably why the procedures at my work had to be written at a 5th grade level.
The only piece we carry are sandwiches hen.
Well the solution is simple, have lockers for the students to keep their firearms in too! Do I have to think of everything?!!
I thought at first it was just an American declaring shock at a phone free school and I thought “ surely almost every school was phone free at one point.” silly Americans not realising schools existed before the twenty-first century.
Then I enlarged the picture and saw the bottom bit.
I’m not sure mobiles would have done much for dunblane but it’s a hell of suggestion to make
That’s totally bollox. My school was phone free in the 80s.
What for? So the cops can stand around outside and wait for the shooter to run out of bullets/shoot themself like they do in the states?
I would assume that a teacher would phone the police in the highly unlikely off chance that we get a school shooting…
Fuckin yanks man. Crazy that that is in their psyche now
the american centrism is fucking stupid, but the people going off at HER in the comments here – and not just the absurdity of the statement from the POV of our culture – is mad. obvs we don’t have major gun fights n shite here, maybe she wiz ‘crazy’ for assuming all countries would ever be as stupidly unsafe as the US, but *really* it’s just depressing as hell to me that a lady would have to have this thought at all, that it feels like a possibility to her.
so aye, classic US-centrism, but shit like that happens there so no shock they’d be thinking about it.
We’ve only ever had one school shooting in Scotland, we were so devastated and traumatised by it that we changed the law to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Unlike Americans who cry ‘second amendment’, shrug their soldiers and hope the next one isn’t at their own kids school.
It looks as if the girl in the article is reacting to the stupidity of the comment
I remain so continually in awe of how the US is so wedded to its *right* to bear arms that since April 1999 Columbine School Shooting to now, over 200 children have died in School Shootings and over 400 have been injured and this is less important than the *right* to own a gun.
There have been 8 school shootings in the first three months of **this** year, five people dead, and at least seven other victims injured.
The US Constitution was ratified in 1788. By all means allow them to have muskets and flintlock pistols, but the idea that an AR-15 is appropriate is madness.
One gunman Vs. a Young Team?
I know who I’d put money on 😆
How will armed police know to come and be on their phones for 3 hours a mile away from the school?
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is 100 students chucking phones at them.
Putting aside the comment, is that the least efficient way space wise to store an entire school full of mobile phones, or am I missing something?
You need to get this posted in r/shitamericanssay
EDIT – you already did
This is definitely an American moment.
When I was in school “bomb threats” were most common, but then the school shooting in Colorado happened and mass school violence changed completely in America.
Schools built after Columbine have wings that lock down individually (let’s be to the point — it’s to minimize loss of life, not *prevent* it). Or have curved corridors to inhibit a shooter’s line of sight.
I live 30 minutes from Uvalde — which was, in no uncertain way, a massive failing on the part of police. But these parents act like if they get **that** call from their child that they’re going to do something the police can’t. The American action hero complex.
But they’re going to just park all around the school and make it harder for police to do their job. Then they’re going to scream for someone to bring them their child through the midst of the chaos.
Phones cause more issues than they prevent. But American parents have lost track of that because they sensationalize school shootings.

Same way we did it before we had mobile phones
Here in America, the primary religion is gun worship. The gun worshipers said that keeping their guns is the only way to be free from a tyrant. I’m wondering where they are since Trump changed the United States of America to the United Dictatorship of America.
Also, gun worshipers say that the solution to mass murder is thoughts and prayers. I’ve decided to name my dog, Thoughts, and my cat Prayers because they are both useless.
American problems require Scottish solutions.
I think Scotland has had phone free schools in the past.
I don’t know why phones were even allowed in schools in the first place. When I was at school 20 years ago we were allowed mobiles but they had to be handed in at the front office every morning. It worked fine
Sorry ma’am. We aren’t a country of war mongering psychopaths who hate minorities. We’ll be fine.
Back in my day, people didn’t go on school shooting rampages because they were picked on or some dumb shit. They dealt with it by besting someone’s ass
She just missed the up part.
“if there’s a shooting (up) how do they call for help”
And by help she means another bag
Just to freak out the Americans more, I worked for a small country pub, we served lunch for a shooting party all decked out in tweeds. Says the men where shall we put our guns, on the floor was the answer under the seats.. so they did.. 12 shotguns on the floor in the pub.
We had one shooting, we changed gun laws, no more shootings.
Americans: “Why don’t we give all the teachers guns??”
Tbf with how that lass looks putting her phone in the locker, they might welcome one.
“HELP”
Umm pretty sure the last school shooting we had was dunblane about 30 yrs ago could be mistaken as that’s off the top of my head pardon the pun

Wouldn’t the people at the office phone for help?
