School Bomb Hoaxes

[reddog]

I wonder what the trigger point is for a school being evacuated? Just phoning up and saying there is a bomb?

As has already been said, the IRA used to use a code word so thd police new if was real.

I am not actually aware of terrorists now giving a warning before exploding a bomb, in the days of suicide bombers it seems a little quant.

Probably threaten to expose the head's internet browsing history.

There's been a few in the South East too. Could it be just "realistic" drills with a generous side helping of unrealistic fear mongering?

Anyone would think Surrey schoolchildren were being violently snatched away on an hourly basis, as a "spate of incidents" where literally nothing has happened appears to have sent the local schools into ludicrous paroxysms of abject terror.

Elsewhere, Sythwood Primary School in Woking issued a warning to parents to be vigilant on Wednesday afternoon after a 'man approached a child' in the playground as children were leaving.

The school moved to reassure parents on Thursday that the incident was, in fact, a false alarm after a fellow parent going to the aid of a boy who got into difficulties on a piece of play equipment.

Headteacher Sue Tresilian said: "We are pleased our policies and procedures ensure our children are safe as this is our first priority.

"Yesterday’s events have reminded all of Sythwood Community that we must stay vigilant and we thank everyone involved for their support."

Probably will be told soon that if we vote to leave Europe none of our school kids will be safe.

I'm just trying to establish how they think these bombs would have got on the premises especially in primary schools. Most of them, that I've been to, have security doors. You have to buzz and speak to someone before you can get in. Then somebody, secretary, usually greets you.

Perhaps this is a way to further push the biometric agenda.

Hidden inside the children.

One of the reasons I was very glad to keep my kids out of the state system has been the prison-like architecture and security of state schools. There are ones round here that have 20 foot fencing and revolving gates. There's no way I'd let my children be brought up in that environment.

The physical prison is the least of it.

A bomb threat at a school would be a simple thing carry out with minimal chances of being caught. It would also be a useful way to prime the next generation to live their life in a state of fear.

But surely only sociopathic elites would use such methods. Would never happen in the UK.

It seems that the more we are 'protected' the more fearful we become, which is an interesting psychological phenomenon. I walked my friend's five year old niece to school recently and was about to leave her at the gate when she said 'Uncle Austin you have to come to the door with me' and sure enough I had to hand her over to a teacher at a small front door. When I was a kid everyone just barged through the big double doors from the street, and ran to their classrooms. In all my schoolyears there were only three 'incidents' involving intruders: 1, a motorist who chased a boy into school after the boy had flicked the v's at him, 3, some bullies from another school who chased a boy off the street, and 3, an elderly senile gentleman who had wandered lost into the school. Yet nowadays it seems bombers and paedos are lurking around every corner.

That sort of policy is more to do with vindictive ex-partners (especially on the pick-up side). It is only for 'infant' - by the time they get to 'junior' (age 7 or so) it will be the melee that you remember.

Did you skip maths when at school per chance ?

Two schools - one in Swansea and one in Cardiff today.

Same IOM school done again today.

Schools should certainly not feel like prisons.

A very popular biology teacher, known as 'Pop' retired from my school and had dementia. For years afterwards he would still wander into school to 'teach lessons' and have to be gently escorted from the premises. Bless his soul.

Indeed. Prisons are for teaching people a lesson!

60% of the parents in my 8 YOs class have split.

Most are going about the split in the same adult way they decided to have kids. The school secretary pulls her hair out with parents ringing up saying the Dad cannot pick up the kid.

I was stunned by the "prisoner transfer" handover routine that my nieces have to go through at the start and end of the school day. In my day, the kids walked alone to and from school. Which was also the case for local day pupils at my kids' schools in more modern times.

I should have asked what happens if a child says "I'm walking home". Do the teachers detain them?

They're not allowed to.
