Re: Threats
Last year alone, our school was evacuated two or three times because of anonymous bomb threats, including one for which we were taken outside into snow and ~30 degree weather for an hour in our stadium before being released home.
But schools have no choice. A threat is a threat, and you can't simply disregard one because it's the third one this week. When you do, something will happen, and the school will be toast. Unfortunately, 99% of the time, if there is a threat, it's just for thrills or attention. Which is ironic, because you don't want to draw attention to yourself after the act, but nonetheless, it happens. Almost all the time, if somethings going to happen, there will not be a threat. (I hope I don't have to eat my words) Someone who really wants to inflict harm or damage will not jeopardize his plan by giving warning.
