Bullet proof smart boards, not dumb.



Backstory

My 12 year old reported that classrooms were now being equipped with bullet proof smart board which could double as a shield in case of gunfire. This may be an urban legend but the fact that my baby boy is even thinking about it makes me sad and mad.

Makes me sad and mad, too. Nothing else to say.

Smart boards make me sad. 3-4K a classroom, times all of the classrooms across the country means a lot of tax money wasted. I can't imagine the bill to make them bulletproof. Here's a better idea, solid steel door and doorframe that goes into a concrete wall and bulletproof metal shutters. Then you just have to worry about the firebomb thrown through to cheap ceiling tile.

Also, is every teacher going to be Captain America? I can't imagine too many people having the body mass, lean muscle, etc. to be able to with stand the kinetic energy of an onslaught of 5.56 bullets or 12 gauge slugs.
