Schools are pretty wacky for all sorts of reasons. Post-Newtown, the entrance to my son’s school is dictated by the easiest door surveillance and ability to limit access.

As a result, you can’t really ride your bike to school and lock it up unless you’re going to walk around the building. About 80% of the training for volunteers is child molester training and school shooting/lockdown drill. It’s pretty depressimg.

It’s bizarre contrasted to my growing up in 1980s NYC. We walked to school in groups but usually alone, and the only drills were fire drills. And there was real scary shit going around in that neighborhood!
