@tommy2u Really? My grandfather was a coal miner. His only surviving son was supposed to go to law school. But my grandfather died when my father was in 10th grade, and he had to quit school to support his mother and sisters. Then WW II broke out, and my father did his duty by his country. After the war, he became a carpenter and the family hopes for a college education fell on me, his oldest child. My father, a TRADESMAN assisted me in paying for college. I had scholarships, grants, loans, and help from Daddy. Oh, and I worked summers. I earned a mechanical engineering degree and I paid back my student loans. My debt to my beloved father can NEVER be repaid, because his support wasn't just financial. He was my hero.

Ebony--As a now-retired teacher, I will tell you that any teacher with a lick of sense keeps, in the classroom with the "emergency bag", a plastic bin of games ideas, toys, reading books, coloring books, etc. for these occurrences. Why? Fire drills and earthquake drills are required in CA. Usually, they only take up about 15 minutes or so while procedures are practiced. However, "fire drills" can be the real thing. At one school in which I taught, an electrical fire caused the entire school to be evacuated for the rest of an afternoon until dismissal. While we waited for the fire department to do their job, my class played "duck, duck, goose", had fables read to them (part of the curriculum), had contests to see who could compute 100 addition and subtraction worksheets the fastest, identified the cloud types in the sky (science), played "duck, duck, goose" (physical exercise), etc.
The novelty of the fire drill wears off quickly. Depending upon the contracted class size (and special programs limiting class size), an elementary school teacher can have 20-34 students under his/her auspices and control. These children are now outside of their regular classroom environment. Two to three hours outside waiting to be cleared to re-enter the classroom is a very long time to keep children interested, active, and engaged in constructive behaviors. The younger these children are, the more challenging that task becomes.
It's easy to second-guess and criticize when you are NOT part of the educational system. Yes, there are flaws in it. But, keep in mind, schools drill for fire and earthquake. They do NOT drill for on-site murder-suicide events. Unfortunately, it begins to look as if they may very well have to--especially in a cess-pit such as San Bernardino.

Gulabsing Singh--US soldiers are rarely at sea (unless being moved to battle areas by troop ship) as the army is a land force. So, they would not eat aboard ship, except in rare circumstances. US sailors and Marines go to sea. So does the Coast Guard. So, the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard personnel WOULD eat at sea. The Air Force is what the name implies, an air military force and, except in rare instances, would not get their meals aboard ship, either. Just FYI, some US naval personnel serve as Naval air personnel, which is NOT part of the US Air Force.

@Marta-to1mf Absolutely true. But keep this in mind. In the wake of WWII American children were taught, in their last year of high school, the responsibilities and privileges of being a citizen of America. Look up your state's Ed Code and find the curriculum requirements for various grades, but mostly 5th, 8th, and 11th grade American history. Civics was 12th grade. The pledge was no longer recited. The American flag was removed from classrooms by Mexican teachers. Patriotic songs no longer are sung. There is nothing inherently wrong in teaching multiculturalism, but what happens when children no longer are taught that America is a melting pot, but, instead, a tossed salad where the immigrant doesn't identify as an American, but as a [fill in the blank] who just happens to live here and TAKE from our nation without strengthening the Republic as the immigrants from two centuries ago did as America evolved? Granted, there were abuses. Ask the Irish who came here as indentured servants, working for 21 years to regain their freedom. Ask the Italians who were denigrated until great numbers of them served in WWII. Ask the Dutch who worked on lands in New York State owned by a patroon that they could not leave. Ask the Hessians who were brought here to fight in the Revolution and only embraced their task when they realized they could OWN land of their own. Ask the Polish, Lithuanian, Slavic, and other Eastern Europeans who were brought here to work in the anthracite mines of PA and coughed out their lungs due to a disease called anthrasilicosis (black lung). Ask the Chinese laborers, and the French casket girls, and the young girls who worked in horrible conditions in factories. Yes, and ask the Native Americans and the African descendants of slaves, and any other group. Then think on these words: "America, my country. In her intercourse with other nations, may she always be in the right. But my country, right or wrong." Originally attributed to Stephen Decatur.

I taught in that hell hole for a quarter century. This shooting was inevitable. I told administrators and the teacher's association that NO ONE should be permitted past the office who was NOT authorized to be at the site--and I was ignored. Any parent/guardian who needs to take a child out of school SHOULD be made to wait IN THE OFFICE while an aide or an office worker takes the Ed Code-required--dismissal slip to the classroom, hands it to the teacher, and takes the child to the waiting parent. Aside from emergency personnel, vetted vendors such as school photographers, or assembly performers, NO ONE should be permitted into the classroom areas. Certainly no non-identified school personnel should be allowed on the campus without a district designated escort or supervision by a district administrator. Obviously, just signing in--as this a$$hole did is NOT enough protection. Certainly it wasn't for two children and their teacher this morning.
Sites such as Vermont and Rio Vista have virtually NO protection from walk-ons as principals do NOT keep the gates locked. Parents would scream (and I mean scream) that they had rights. At Rio Vista, parents would walk right on to the playground (fenced) and, if asked to sign in to the office--as the CA Ed Code requires--would become hostile, volatile, or aggressive. This in a town with frequent drive-by shootings, 60 plus murders in 2016, and gang/drug activity.
San Bernardino is a cess pit of crime, drugs, violence, and I am so glad that I am not in that hell hole any more!

In one breath, the lead-in to this speaks of searching for a motive. Under the dateline of the article, the notice is maid of "Officials say gunman had a history of violence, domestic charges". There's your answer. A man with a history of domestic abuse and violent behavior acting out his rage against his spouse.
The bigger question here should be: WHY is ANYONE permitted onto San Bernardino City Unified School District grounds past the sign-in at the office? Keep in mind that San Bernardino has had 60 plus murders in 2016. Drive-by shootings and school lock-downs are commonplace. Fences around school grounds in most--NOT ALL--of San Bernardino schools restrict entry onto the premises. That, at least, is the theory. It's not always practiced
West side sites such as Vermont and Rio Vista permit unidentified (in clear violation of Ed Codes regarding access to school property, students, and school personnel) to walk over the grounds without signing in. Teachers who have requested that the miscreants sign into the office for a "visitor's badge" have been verbally chastised and advised NOT to do that again. The parent posses there have even been permitted to walk onto the playground unimpeded. Why? Principals pander to the clientele and don't want the district offices calling them when the parents march downtown to complain if the Ed Code is enforced. "Make it go away" is a common mantra in SBCUSD to administrators who want to keep their jobs.
The only surprise with this shooting is that one like it didn't happen sooner than yesterday (4/10/17).
District policy should be to require anyone who is not authorized by the district to be on the grounds (district-identified employees, assembly presentation personnel, emergency personnel, etc.) remain IN THE OFFICE and NOT on the grounds. Does your child have a medical appointment? Then go to the office, sign in (as required by the Ed Code) after showing proper ID and sign the Ed Code document allowing you to remove the child from the site. An office worker or aide should take that dismissal slip to the classroom, give it to the teacher, and take the child to the office. Do you want to visit your spouse/significant other in the classroom during school hours? Whatever for? Domestic issues should be resolved on your own time, NOT the district's. This wasn't an emergency. Even if it were, personal problems shouldn't be brought into the classroom environment.
The head honchos at the district office will tell news personnel that what I've outlined is standard practice. Well, OBVIOUSLY, it's NOT, since there now are a murdered teacher, a murdered INNOCENT child, and another wounded child to show for yesterday's tragedy.
Keep in mind that this guy's "visits" were common enough that the school staff were familiar with him. Teachers are paid to TEACH; interruptions impede the number of instructional minutes that are utilized--especially in a district as low-performing as SBCUSD really is (and that's a matter for a different time).

The worst USA POTUS has, for about a century, been James Buchanan of Wheatfields in Pennsylvania. Obama came close at the end of his second term, but Biden, from Scranton, PA, is clearly the worst. Pennsylvania, the cradle of America, can't seem to produce a decent POTUS! Both, by the way, with the initials JB.

@gemox3225 You want to know why innercity kids' test scores suck so bad?? Bad environment, poverty, drugs, gangs, street warfare, parental illiteracy, broken families, refusal to learn English, and politicians who need to keep control of the voter bloc by keeping them in poverty and not enforcing legislation. Instead, they blame "incompetent teachers"--teachers with degrees, credentials, and certifications. Did you ever wonder how it was possible for universities--seats of learning--to put out only incompetent teachers and districts to only hire incompetent teachers?? Or is it simpler to blame teacher/educators? CA Ed Code states that scholastic success is a four-way responsibility: administrative, teachers, parents, and students. How much success is there going to be when students refuse to do the work, parents refuse to support the education curriculum requirements, administrators refuse to enforce Ed Code, and teachers get tired of being told what lazy incompetents they are???

Mary Kathlesn Sapp--In the 1950s, it was the polio scare. We all got vaccinated. Then, in the 1960s, our parents were building bomb shelters in the basements (even though the half-life of the radiation from a full-out nuclear exchange would take THOUSANDS of years to occur). Then it was Swine Flu (more inoculations), Legionnaire's Disease, Three Mile Island nuclear power plant failure (almost a meltdown), Lyme disease, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, H1N1, SARS, and now this. Each was a media-driven PANIC. However, we NEVER resorted to these draconian measures and a near-police state. The sheriff in Riverside County, CA approached the County Board of Supervisors and told them that his agency is OVERWHELMED with calls for increases in suicide attempts, spousal abuse and child abuse calls, and calls of people with severe depression because there's no place to go and damned little to do after 9 weeks of this horseshit. He said he did not have either the manpower or the will to arrest people for not wearing face masks. I hope this guy runs for PRESIDENT!!!

I'd give it an "F"--for F*ck-up. James Buchanan, Wheatfields, PA is consistently listed as the WORST USA POTUS. He's going to lose out to Joe Biden, Scranton, PA, as the WORST USA POTUS. PA, the cradle of the Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, and our Constitutional Convention...what is the matter with you?? Incidentally, both POTUS disasters have the initials, JB. So, if there is EVER another PA POTUS, please make sure the initials are NOT "JB".

Bull shite. I grew up in a VERY LARGE ethnic family. The base bloodlines were English French Dutch Lithuanian. We had US Navy veterans, US Army veterans, US Marine veterans from WWI, WWII, and Korea. We had representation from Roman Catholics, a couple of Protestant denominations, an agnostic or two, and a Jewish friend who just enjoyed the family dynamic even though he kept Kosher and could eat almost none of our food. We had nurses, teachers, housewives, carpenters, coal miners, auto mechanics, college graduates, and railroad workers in the mix. Children of all ages played and interacted with adults. My grandparents' farm accommodated us all. Yes, it was loud and opinionated and heatedly political, but NO ONE stayed away because of a difference of lifestyle or belief system or vote. What kind of namby-pamby woosies are we raising in America???

All these elected representatives forget one very important point. Their oath of office is the same as the POTUS, V-POTUS, Senators, the House Representatives, members of military, etc: "To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC." Once these hacks start representing personal ideologies, and party platforms, and campaign donors, and constituents over the framework that defines this nation, they break that oath. WE, THE PEOPLE are going to hold them accountable for it.

Parents! You have the RIGHT:
1. To review all materials your state is about to adopt BEFORE they are adopted.
2. To sit in on classes and observe teachers.
3. To move your child into a different classroom.
4. To object to ANY materials and offer alteratives. (For instance, swap out Harry Potter, recreational reading, for a classical work, scholarly reading).
5. To go to the state website for curriculum and standards and look up your child's grade level requirements.
6. To peruse the recommended reading list online for your child's grade level.
7. To go to the federal government's education website to ensure your state, county, and local schools' policies, procedures, educational practices, etc., are in line with the U. S. Department of Education.
8. To attend school board meetings and address the board.
9. To request SSTs and/or FSTs as well as IEPs to meet your child's needs.
10. To be apprised of ANY event in advance. Without your signature, your child cannot participate.
11. To have materials available to you IN YOUR LANGUAGE if English is not your primary language.

It's OK, Mr. President. I don't feel safe in SoCal, what with illegal alien criminals swarming over the border, high crime, revolving door police policies, dictator Newsom and his whack edicts from on high, housing costs, food and utility cost inflation, and restrictive gun ownership which I, as a U.S. Navy veteran, am well-qualified to use.

Obviously, bucko, you didn't pay attention to your civics classes. Or are you an illegal who demanded your classes in Spanish so you wouldn't have to learn the country's constitution...the country that have you free school, free health care, free counseling services, free breakfast and lunch, free tutoring, free dental care, free eye care, two pairs of glasses per year enrolled, etc.

Hmmmm. Psychopaths start out by torturing little animals, then work their way up to fellow humans. Fauci hit the motherlode by torturing an entire planet of humans through developing a virus that precipitated a lockdown on his way-so that is destroying a planet wide economy and killed hundreds of thousands of people. Financed by the likes of Bill Gates and propped up by politicians and royals who are trying to create a planet-wide socialist society of serfs and elites, Fauci got to determin how the humans of Earth lived--subsisted--wearing masks, keeping six feet apart, requiring innoculations that made him very wealthy, enabling strutting little martinets to decide who boards a plane or enters a shop or attends school classes. He tops it off by announcing that he's not going to cancel Hallowe'en or Christmas, as if he could. Kind of explains that smirk he sports on his gob, now, doesn't it? Resign? As if!! The miserable sunuvabeech ought to be arrested for crimes against humanity, pilloried, castrated, then hung, drawn, and quartered, and his remains burnt on the next Fourth of July.

@hziebart Only if we insist that our children, from preschool through high school, are well versed in the laws concerning our flag, our Declaration of Independence, our Preamble to the Constitution, our Constitution of 2789, as amended, our history without the woke silliness, and display our flag in every classroom, recite the pledge, and learn our patriotic songs. "My country -- In her intercourse with other nations, may she ever be in the right, but our country, right or wrong!" -- Stephen Decatur

The good thing about a democratic republic is that the government is kept in check by checks and balances. So far, we the people have seen that one party in charge in both executive and legislative branches is a mistake. (Don't believe me, look at the liberal nanny state of CA, with King Gruesome in charge.) I don't know for how many more elections that will hold true, since Biden is the puppet for Clinton/Obama and Meghan Markle plans a POTUS run in 2024. We already have the infiltration of the Duke of Sussex, opining about our Constitution and financed by his supposed father, the Prince of Wales, who has long wanted to avenge the wrongs we did to George III, and plans to re annex "the colonies" back to England. Why else do you think Harry was permitted to marry an American and has settled here? For those of you who may not know, Cornwallis, if he had defeated the fledgling USA in the American Revolution, was promised a duchy that included VA, WV, NC, SC, GA, and parts of TN and KY. I wonder how Charles plans to split up our country between his sons and grandchildren. Small wonder Megnut called Archie the "King of the World"!!!

I'm a retired teacher. If you're a taxpaying citizen, or if you have children enrolled in a public school system, it is YOUR RIGHT to peruse teaching materials (and suggest alternate readings from your state's list of recommended texts), receive a copy of teacher lesson plans, sit in on specific classes (usually limited to 15 minutes), "shadow" your child through a school day to ensure that the child isn't the object of reprisals or bullying, etc. You are ENTITLED to weekly progress reports and daily behavior reports. You have a RIGHT to request Student Study Team (academics and possible learning handicaps) and/or Behavior Study Team (behavior/possible handicapping conditions)or a Family Study Team (for assistance with family issues such as housing, health services, dental referrals, eye care, etc,). Make your request IN WRITING and sent by certified mail that must be signed for. Send a certified copy to the principal AND the school district superintendant. The meeting MUST be scheduled within a specific time frame of working days (weekends, holidays, non-teaching days don't count). If you don't know those timeliness, the school will try to delay until end of school year, and you might have to start all over the following year. The school cannot discriminate against you or your child. EVERYTHING related to public education is available online from the federal and state and county level. Remember education-related stuff is .edu

Ah, yes...the "Honor" Society, mid-20th century. Only the "elite" were accepted into it at my high school. You had to have the right parents, the right last name, the right social contacts in that hick town. No matter how good your grades were, no matter in what activities one participated, no Italians, Lithuanians, Polish, Welsh, Slovaks, Greeks, or other ethnic "minorities" were welcome. Then, one day, when school started, the "Honor" Society was called out of the four college-bound classes of students. Each one of them was smirking as they left our group/class/section as they were sure that more honors were being piled upon them. They didn't return to class for a couple of days. Turns out that the little buggers had created a "cheating machine", passing answers to tests between the four sections of college-bound students as classes passed during the day. I was one of the editors of the yearbook; we had to call back the photographer to take a photo of the decimated (by about 75%) "Honor" Society to put in the yearbook that year. We were all warned not to speak a word of it, as it would hamper their admission to college. A three-day suspension was the only consequence they got (aside from not getting to wear their gold braid when they "walked" on graduation night). I never did find out which teacher "outed" them. I always suspected the new Civics class teacher, as he was a social pariah among the teaching staff for the rest of the year and wasn't re-hired for the following year.
