(1,764 posts)We had grades K-6. Except Kindergarten--only 2 teachers and the kids were divided by morning and afternoon so the classes were smaller--each grade level had 3 teachers with 25-30 in each classroom. If there is only one door and there is a fire, how in the world are you going to get all those kids outside through one door? That's not counting the teachers and assistants, the office staff, and the custodians! What is wrong with these people--idiots!

(12,094 posts)My daughters high school had about 2000 students, plus faculty, support staff and administration. How easy would it be to get all of those people out of one door at the end of the day, let alone in case of fire or other emergency.

The new legislation, SB 2972, includes limitations on how, when, and where people can demonstrate on Texas college campuses.
Published: June 23, 2025
Author: Amy Rock
The new legislation (SB 2972), signed by Abbott on June 20, includes limitations on how, when, and where people can demonstrate on college campuses. Under the new bill, college leaders will get to decide which areas are public forums. Conversely, the 2019 bill (SB 18) had established all common outdoor spaces on a public campus could be used as traditional public forums, Inside Higher Ed reports.
Individual colleges can also now determine whether the public is welcome to demonstrate on their campus. The bill changes language that says all persons can participate in expressive activities to students enrolled at and employees of an institution of higher education. The new law also prohibits all expressive activities on public campuses from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.
The new law also bans encampments, demonstrations during the last two weeks of classes, wearing masks or other disguises to hide ones identity, and lowering the U.S. flag or Texas flag in order to raise another nation or organizations flag.

(49,690 posts)theres the length of time it takes everyone to get in and out of the building as they arrive at and leave school each and every day. For large schools that would be a huge waste of peoples time.
