Are our schools safe?
In light of the two recent school shootings, I wanted to know how you feel about safety in school. Are we safe? Is anyone really safe? What should be done to make our schools safer? Many schools are installing metal detectors to check for weapons. Many of you mentioned the issue of safety when responding to the posting on cell phones. We have an open campus here. Should that be changed? How can we all work together to make sure we are safe?

Dear Mrs. Hannon,
I feel that we should do something t make us more safe like did the administration ever think that we were under attack what phone we used if we were held hostage.So don't they that we should have metal detectors and that we should check because many bring things that are unsafe. So maybe we could try the matal detector and i think that the security officer should be more aware in those things. sicerrely, liz

Hello Mrs. Hannon,
WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?????
I feel safe at Da Vinci, but I'm sure if I went to South Park or Grover, I would be scared. Not to totally contradict myself, but I think anywhere you go there is some risk. I mean those little girls at the Amish school got shot for goodness sake! I think our safety is our responsibilty. I don't think that there is that many security concerns at our school. I don't think the cell phone policy should be changed. I think if we all are courteous and sensitive to others, there would be no chance for violence.
Seymour Butts is doing fine!

P.S. I don't think you should remove itunes and ichat. I always listen to my music during class (and I have headphones) and I am doing great work on my wiki! (That's why I got a 100%, right?)

At Davinci, I feel we are pretty safe. Obviously it doesn't mean we are exempt from the possibility of a shooting, stabbing, etc., but I feel that our school's safety is much higher than at other schools. I think it is pretty sad that violence has even worked into the Amish school. They try to avoid violence, and they still have to deal with it. I find it's weird they are so forgiving to the man who did it, but that's how they feel and I guess that is a good mentality.
I think the idea of metal detectors is a good one. If it helps prevent problems, then why not do it?
I think being on an open campus isn't necessrily a problem for us. I think that our school is small enough that if an intruder or parent came in, we'd know they didn't belong.
Hi Mrs.Hannon,
I feel that we should do something to make us more safe. Like did the administration ever think that if we were under attack what phone would we use If we were held hostage and couldn't use the school phone that's a good reason to have cell phones. So don't they think we should have metal detectors and get checked everyday It's sad to say we have to do that but nowadays It's Important. So maybe we could try the metal detector and I think that the security officer should be more aware in those things.
sincerely, liz
Truthfully I do not think we are very safe from predators. We have one security guard to secure our whole school. This may be rational due to our lack of students, however we have many entrances that he must secure. Is this possible? I don't think it is, he is only one person and is only able to be in one place at a time. So if someone decides they want to go on a crazy killing spree, they would be successful. I don't think our open campus should be changed but I do believe that our security should be increased.
I think that open campus here should be changed. I think this because anyone can just come in and out without people checking them. I remember many times during the time I've been in this school when there were parents that were on the 3rd floor lookin for the office. I think that we should have a door bell installed with security cameras so that the people can identify themselves. I also think that we should have a security guard at the door with a wand medal detector to check the person out to see if they have any weapons. I dont think that anyone is safe anywhere but these things could help minimize the risk of having a stranger come in the school and harming anyone.
I feel that we are safe considering that we go to Davinci. Maybe if we went to another school that would probably be an issue. Even though we have an open campus, everyone knows everyone, so if someone looks suspicious and looks like they don't belong, all you have to do is tell school authorities. If I felt that our school was unsafe we would have to change a lot of our old ways. We would have to stop wearing hoodies and carrying those big bags. People could be hiding weapons and if someone made another student or teacher mad they could just pull out their weapon and use it on someone. Thats the only reason why I feel that we shouldn't wear hoodies or carry the big bags. Unfortunately we don't have that problem so i'm not at all worried about this situation. Since we go to Davinci I do in fact feel that we are safe.
I think that anywhere you go there will be the issue of if your safe or not. I think that out of most of the Buffalo Public Schools are school is probably one of the safest and has the least violence. Schools like South Park and Grover have fights almost everyday. Our school is lucky if one fight breaks out throughout the whole school year, which is a good thing because it makes the students feel safe. Even though our school is safe there are things that could be fixed up. Since our school is an open campus anybody can just walk through the doors and you don't know what they could have in their pockets or purses. Another issue is that we only have one security guard. Our school is small, but we still could use more security guards. If something was to happen I don't think that one security guard would be able to handle the problem. I think that we all can work together to make sure that we are safe by just being aware and alert. If we thing something is going wrong or we suspect something then we should tell somebody.
Hey Mrs. Hannon,
I don't think schools' are safe. I don't think they will ever be safe. Children are smart we can find ways around rules' and regulations'. We have already gotten around most of them. Molly is right can't we all get along? We can't there will always be problems if they are not handled in school they will be handled on the street, and it could be worse there. Im not saying all fights should be in school, im just saying your not really safe anywhere. It may sound scary but in the world we live in we can only try and be safe. Maybe with metal detectors and extra security guards there may be a chance of a little safeness
I feel that for the simple fact our school has an open atmosphere, our risk of being safe is quite slim. I'm not saying we are the next target for the next school shooting but we should be precautious of the fact we are an open-campus high school. I feel putting metal detectors in the school is a bit extreme and that it has to be another way to keep the students safe but, if it's working..hey! I think we shouldn't be so open of a school to be honest. It'll be best for all of our safety.
I dont think anyone will ever be completely safethinn school or on the campus. I think school should be a closed campus but if every school is a closed campus then peoplw will be very limited to where they can go.We can all work together to make it safer by reporting to the security guard when there is a problem or something doesnt look right.
I feel that no one is never really safe. I believe that all schools should have metel detectors no matter how good of a school it is considered. Just because the school may be considered a "Good" school does not mean that the students in that school are not possible of comitting a crime. When shootings occur many people do not know that the person or persons are planning it. I think that we can all help our school be safer by reporting any signs of a disturbance, whether it is one student who may give you reason to believe you or you'r classmates are in danger and have some form of proof.
I believe that we are not safe in our school. Anyone could just come into our school with any weapon to hurt another person and we will not be aware of it. As well as that any person from outside of our school can also come in without teachers noticing. This is because the teachers and faculty that stand outside are not really shure of what students attend the school or not. I think that there should be someone outside our school checking for students to be clear of any type of item that can be used to harm others. If that does not work a metal detector should be used, just as in other schools.

With all of the school shootings that have been in play, I feel that no one is really safe. In the newspapers and on the news channels they have showed us these horrific events and what exactly happened. It's not very hard to just walk in somewhere with a gun and just take someone's life. I do, however, feel safe at da Vinci. Everyone complains about how small it is sometimes but because of it being so small, it does give us a great advantage. If someone decides to come into our school, you can tell right away if they belong or not. But there is a downside to the small school part. Since we are a small school, they believe that we only need one security guard. What if one day the security guard is sick and that one day an intruder enters the building with a gun? I have never seen a substitute for the security guard. But another upside about da Vinci is that all the students have a good heart and they are good to one another. There aren’t really any worries about a student going after another student with a weapon. But at other schools where there are problems between students, I think that it is a good idea for them to have the metal detectors and have them checking bags. As I responded to the last blog and thought it over, I realized that the cell phone policy is a good policy. But what if an intruder walks into the school and locks everyone in the room and disconnects the phones that are in every room? A student should at least be able to carry their cell phone in their pocket but in the off position so if something does occur they can take out their cell phone and call 9-1-1.
How can we work together to stop violence? Just work together, understand each other and respect each other. If we work together to promote some sort of piece then there will be no violence, we hope.
As a high school student I feel that it would be better on our parents and our families knowing that their loved ones are safe in school. I think that metal detectors will insure many people on campus that we are in a safe environment. I think the bigger the campus the more precaution aminstration have to take to keep students safe. Personally, At da Vinci high school i feel safe, but when i graduate i may not feel the same at a more larger and populated school,so therefore its a good idea to worry about safety in schools,and take action.
Hi Mrs.Hannon
I believe that schools are not safe.There are too many problems going on between people, and a person cannot be safe anywhere.People carry weapons everywhere they go.People can have weapons on them and other people would not even notice them.To prevent any terrible things from happening (ex.death) and to keep schools safe,the government and the Board of Education need to take action.There should be more security guards in schools to protect the student and watch over them aswell as the schools.They need to make sure who is comming in and out of a school a little more carefully.If needed students and intruders should be checked for any weapons .We have an open campus and i don't think that should change.It is a small school and we can work together to keep this school safe.If needed we can be checked for id's aswell as for weapons.Our school is small and it is pretty safe.
Hello Mrs. Hannon
I dont think that our schools are safe at all because you have people who like to start trouble. On this campus we have security and i feel safe. I can see if i went to Grover i would't feel safe at all. Bigger schools seem to have more trouble than smaller schools. Police should be on every school campus from starting to ending. Having metal detectors is a great idea to prevent weapons from being brought into school. I would suggest locking doors but that wouldn't work because what if there's a fire we need the doors open to get out. Our school is very safe but we still need extra security guards here because anything can happen on any giving day.
In this school specifically, I do feel safe. To think of high schools like South Park or Seneca, no I wouldn't. I do believe that the cell phones do play a role in the violence, because the student can call "back up" for a fight after school. I don't think there is much to do in our school to make it safer, because nothig ever happens here. Everyone is always saying, "oh nothing ever happens in davinci", but they don't understand how good we have it here. We don't have to worry about the shcool violence, shootings, or gangs. I don't think that our school needs a metal detector. It owuld be a waste of money for us, but for other schools, I HIGHLY recommend it!
I agree on the usage of the metal detectors but then again metal is not the only material of weapons now a days. I don't think we are completely unsafe because we have the benefit of the college campus security along with ours.But no one is too safe therefore i feel like there should be a weapon check by professional security before entering schools everyday.I also think that there should be a camera at every entrance of the school and like abuzz in speaker at the door so the person can say what they are there for before they enter.
I dont think any certain school is safe because this can happen at any school, in any city , in any state. I think the metal detectors in schools are valueable. A question the adminstration should consider is if there was a school hostage sitution how would students be able to contact outside people for help? I think students should be able to at least carry phones in case of emergency. I think the cause of alot of these shooting are because of "harrasment" by other students.If you notice alot of these shooting happen in the suburbs and are usally done by young white males. I think this is cause by the pesurre from others students because they aren't considered "popular" , I dont think that is a big problem in the inner city because we dont really consider each other better than others and usally get along. I think more sercutiy in our schools would help.
I feel that we're somewhat safe at Da Vinci. Being that we're on a college campus our doors aren't locked. Anyone can come in at anytime that they please. Adding to that, being that Da Vinci is a small populated school we have only one security gaurd. He can't be everywhere at once. Since, I go to Da Vinci I do feel safter rather than attending schools such as Grover or Bennett. You have to face it in the society that we live in today, if you attend a public school or private school we have to expect for the worse and be prepared for anything and be prepared at all times. To make our schools safer we should get more security gaurds and police enforcement. But, that's crazy that you even have to think about all of that while attending school. I also think that the metal detectors are a good idea. In doing so you'll know exactly what students and vistors are bringing into the schools. I think that the cell phone policy should be changed. As I stated before it can be a great source when responding to emergency purposes. We just have to know how to use them accordingly. I think that we can all work together to make sure that we all are safe.But, we have to take the initative on building up and not bringing each other down.
what's up DV???
I think no school can be 100% safe no matter where you are. Even with more time and money being spent on safety, people will always find a way to get around security. Our school is one of the more fortunate schools in Buffalo because we really do not have many problems with violence. Since we have such a low voilence level, our security is not that strict. Any person can walk into our school, and no one would know about it. This can lead to a number of problems!
I believe the way we are approaching the safety situation is the best that we can do. We realize as a district and country that violence is possible, and new procedures are being put in place to prevent that at any cause.
That is all I have for now.
GOODBYE!!
Mrs. Hannon,
I must admit I feel very safe at da Vinci. The students know that Mrs. Preston and the staff always make sure our safety comes first. However, I don’t think anyone can ever be 100% safe at all times. You never know what is going to happen. I also believe it is our responsibility to make sure our school is a safe place. We have to cooperate, keep each other and the environment around us safe. Even though we do have an open campus, it is very easy to spot a stranger in our school. On the other hand, I believe we should keep our doors more secure. The office is all the way on the second floor. When a person enters the building, unless seen by someone else, no one is aware of their presence until they go to the office. In order to fix that issue we should install a buzzer, a security camera and a microphone. In that case when we do have visitors, the office can talk and see the visitors before they enter the building. And that’s what I believe every school should do. I think medal detectors would not be appropriate for schools, and would make some kids feel uncomfortable and ever more scared.
Safety in school is very important and as a daVinci student I feel I am safe. Even though we are on an open campus I don't think my safety is in jeopardy.So I think daVinci should stay on the college's campus. At daVinci I think everyone is safe because we haven't had any situations to prove otherwise. Altough I believe myself and others are safe at daVinci anything can happen anywhere. So we must protect ourselves. Other schools have to go to extreme measures to protect themselves with devices like metal detectors. For daVinci I don't think this type of safety measure is needed. Making public schools safer should be based on previous situations that have happened in that school. So for each school it would differ. Some schools might need more severe actions than others. To make sure daVinci continues to be the safe school that it is, everyone should just use their judgement to help others. If they feel someone's safety is in jeopardy they should make an adult aware because they might not only be helping that person but many others also.
DaVinci is a school that has the least problems in the Buffalo Public School system. I think that is ironic though, because we have the least security. Although D'youville security is always at hand, it would still take them more time to get to our building if there were a situation, than if we had more of our own security. We have no metal detectors or any real safety plan if a stranger comes onto our campus. Being on a college campus makes it much easier for a deranged stranger to attack us too. College students of all backgrounds are always coming and going so who knows if a stranger is just a student or a crazy person that's holding some insane grudge, ready to snap. I don't think that anyone is really safe though. Even if we had metal detectors and security on all levels some way some how a person could still attack. I think that we are fortunate to go to a school where there are so few problems. I would hate going to a school were we had metal detectors. I would feel like I was in prison or something. Last year when that newspaper report came out about school violence, daVinci wasn't even mentioned because there isn't anything to mention. I think that to stay safe we need to just be aware. If we think there may be a problem, we have to approach it as the situation warrants and prevent it. For now I think daVinci is safe. I know it is vulnerable, yet I still feel secure. Hopefully we will never have a serious situation like a school shooting.
Hello Mrs. Hannon,
Well I truly feel that do to the atmosphere at Da Vinci, our school is pretty safe. Our school doesnt come close to other Buffalo Public schools in the area, like Mckinly or Seneca whose students have to be searched every morning with metal detectors or dogs to assure the students dont have anything harmful on them. My sister attends Mckinly HS and everyday day comes home with a new story to tell, not on what she learned but about who fought who or who got arrested. Everyday a new story,I feel that at Davinci we are a small school so we tend not to have the fights or violence other schools may have.
Even though are school might be safer then other schools in Buffalo, you never know when somthing is going to happen. You cant predict what events are going to take place that day. I feel that Davinci can also be a threat to unsafe behavior due to the fact were on an open college campus. Anyone can walk right into our school at any moment, the door is always open and theres very little security. It would be alot safer if the door was locked and the way in was to be buzzed into the office and someone will let u in. I mean we have one security guard with 400 students and college students in this building you never know whose really walking in the building.
Well I think that are schools really are not safe. It is sad that we are thinking about practicing a drill, to prepare ourselves if someone comes in with a gun and attacks our school. I think that it is a shame that we are faced with this issue. I think that programs should be in place to prevent this behavior, and watch children with high-risk behavior. We should encourage children to face their issues and NOT take out there anger in a shooting. This should be a subject like English, something that we do every day
I think that we are safe at our school but if you go to a school like Grover or Lafayet your not as safe as at other schools. I feel the medal detectosare a good idea for some schools, but other schools like this one dosent need a medel detector.I also feel that our school should have more than one security guard because if more than one problem occurs at the same time, he wont be able to stop them both.
No doubt school safety is possibly the most important issue in our school systems today. The thought that at any time a random person can walk into a school and shoot 8 people scares me. The truth is, at any time anyone can just walk in to our school. Sure we all have Mr. Marino, but well what is he going to do with his walkie talkie aganist a automatic hand gun. Personaly i fell safe , well I like to think i do, but if we really stop and think about it we are not. I have a plan though, if spomething like that ever happned, id play dead.
I feel that for the most part we are as safe as we can be here at davinci. Although it is true that we are on an open campus we also have the advantage of both school and campus security. I would blame anyone if they did instale metal detectors at every school. Its better to prevenr rather then try to fix a problem after it gets out of control. As far as cell phones I really don't see how they pose a threat to our safety in school.
Schools are safe untill you are about twelve years old. Then the students are smarter and start to work around the regulations. Seriously I think are school is safe. We have a community in are school, that creates us from doing anything stupid. Plus, must crimes are commited in large schools were you don't know everybody unlike here. The open campus here has never been a problem in the past so I don't think it will be a problem know. I think we can ensure our safety be knowing and asking people how they are. This will ensure us that nobody will bring a gun to this school. If there is somebody who would blow up this school then we would be more thoughtful of him or her. I really don't think we are in need for a metal detectors because people might be scared to walk though them. And this would cause unneeded fear.

I do NOT think we are safe. I don't think there is any school that is safe. People can walk into da vinci like nothing. I do believe we should have metal detectors in our school. Yeah were not seneca or east but I would rather us be safer than to pay for it down the line. The open campus should not be changed because this is still a college campus and they should be able to go where ever they want. I do believe that the college students shouldn't be in da vinci while class are going on.
I feel safe at this school I believe we have enough security being on a college campus and everything.To make our school safer I believe that the district should have safety precautions such as metal detectors and surveillance cameras.I'm not saying that criminals are in our schools but you never know, strangers can just walk into our unlocked doors.
Well I feel that if a shooting can happen in a school then it can happen anywhere. Are we really safe here at Da Vinci?? I feel that we are. Not only because it's such a small school, but everyone here is more mature then in any other school... or else they wouldn't be here. So as for being safe.... here at DaVinic I think we are but being safe anywhere else.... I don't think so. I don't even feel safe walking down my own street any more because some bratty kids throw eggs and ketchup bottles at my house,and this kid named Danny was recently just stabbed over something very very stupid. So I really don't feel safe any where but in school.
Sup Mrs. Hannon,
I think DaVinci is safer than the other schools around here. But since we have an open campus we have some dangers that most of the schools don't have to deal with. I think some precautions should be taken to make the school a safer place. but we shouldn't go over board. I agree with the no bookbag rule, because it's not only for safety but also for enough room to move. The hoody rule is ridiculous. People where hoodies not only for style but for warmth. I only wear hoodies when I get cold. If hoodies are banded they better raise the heat because there will be many freezing kids.

I feel that we are partly safe a da vinci. I think that the shootings that have occured are heart breaking. Due to these events I don't feel safe in an open campus anymore. Any one can just come in and go as they please with out being a student or a staff member. I think that the metal detectors are a good way to keep any type of weapons out of school. As I tied this back to the cell phone policy, I realized that cell phones are not bad to carry around. The girl who ot shot at her school was able to communicate with her parents through a text message. Eventhough her last words were, "I love you guys", she was able to tell her parents something before she died. It is sad that these events are occuring but violence has always been part of our everyday lives, thet is slowly escalating up.
Since this blog is about our opinions, I feel that I have a right to state what Im about to write. I understand that security guards deal with alot. For example Mr. Yates had bus passes, lockers, ect. His job was to be watching for our school, but many of us felt that he was not a good one. We based this just on the fact that most times he was outside smoking ciggarettes. All I'm trying to say is that maybey more than one security guard would make me feel some what better, due to our position in a college campus. I do feel more safer than Grover, Seneca, Lafayette or any other public high school in Buffalo.
We should have safer entrances, metal detectors should be placed, and since we are in a open campus security should be increased. Violence is always going to be part of our lives, b ut kids should feel safe in school, and those children who died in the shootings, were innocent and didn't deserve to die. School should be a safe place were blood shouldn't be present outside of peoples bodies and text book writting(teacher lessons).
Hey Mrs. Hannon!
Sorry I'm still not in school. That's three days this week! I went to the doc's yesterday and I have really bad strep throat. I can't talk at all or swallow anything...which means that I'm extremely dehydrated right about now. It sucks but hopefully I will be better soon.
So, on the orginal topic of safty in schools...I feel very safe here at daVinci. I can never imagine a shooting, bomb threat, or anything here. Although I don't think anyone here would do anything like that, you never know who could just walk into our building saying that they go to D'youville. It might be a good idea to seperate daVinci from the college so that only daVinci students are entering the building.
I think that metal detectors are a good idea for every school because you never know what people could be carrying on them. I just read Renee's comment and I definately agree with her about the hoodies. I wear them all the time, but that doesn't mean I have a gun in the pocket. I think it would be unfair if the school did not let us wear them.

It might be hard for me to get the flashdrive my the 16th because I only worked one day this week, but I will try my best.
Hi Mrs. Hannon!!
Personally I don't think we are ever REALLY safe. Anybody can have a bad day and decide to take it out on the first people who happen to cross their path. On the issue of metal detectors I must admit that I am on both sides of the fence. On one hand I think it's a good idea but on the other I think it's not that hard to fool a metal detector in a place like a school. If I was a person who really wanted to bring a weapon to school how hard would it be to walk through the metal detector wit chain belt loops to blame for it going off when I step through? I don't think anyone can ever truly ensure safety to anyone else. ~Burruss
Hello Mrs.Hannon
I think in some aspects at DaVinci I feel safe but at other times I don't. Yes like people have said daVinci is a small school and some of the students here are most mature than others, and we have more displine than other schools but does that truley make us safer than the rest. Come on people take a good look around. If somebody really wanted to they could come shoot daVinci. Just last year I was walking down the hall and some random person was walkin up and down the stairs. Is that safe? In my eyes no. Yes, most of the other school shootings have been commited by a student who attends the school but like everyone has said daVinci is so much different, exactly anyone could shoot up the school. So if you ask me. I don't feel safe, we have no metal detectors and the adminitration would have no idea what to do in the event of a shooting so in my eyes I believe we are alot less safe than some of the other schools. But I guess thats just my opionon.

Well Mrs. Hannon,
I think we all feel pretty safe here at da Vinci because of how small it is, but in reality we still know anything can happen. I guess no one is ever really safe, that is just like calling someone perfect, it's impossible. Metal detectors are probably a must a certain schools (ie: Grover, South Park) that are so large and the staff can't control a student's every move like here at da Vinci.
The Open Campus is most likely not a problem here because of our school's SMALL size. When someone comes in that doesn't belong they should be sure to notice. I don't think there is any way we can work together to keep us safe, other than not making the wrong people mad at us.

Hi Mrs. Hannon,
For the most part, I feel relatively safe on our school's campus. I've never been afraid, for example, that someone's going to bring a gun to our school. However, perhaps we should instill more safety measures, due to recent events. Perhaps a metal detector would make the administration sleep more soundly, and some of the parents and students as well.
There is no real need to try and protect the school from outsiders, as it is so small already that if someone that doesn't belong in our school got in, we would spot the intruder immediately. DaVinci is such a tiny school that everyone knows everyone, at least by sight, so if you threw another face into the mix it would stand out.
I don't really know how I feel about this subject considering I really don't care. If someone really wants to shoot up a school a metal detector is not going to stop them, they can shoot fellow students on buses or even go their house. The next thing people are going to want to do is put metal detectors on buses and so on. The freedom of America is not knowing what is going to happen. At da Vinci we haven't had any problems, be don't even have fights let alone a shooting. No on is safe, even in a padded room you can die you learn to deal with this and go on with your life instead of fearing everytime you leave the house. If we choose not to have an open campus we wouldn't be da Vinci, the college campus defines us and helps other schools identify with us and gives us an edge over schools such as Tech and Honors. There is no way to be completely safe, so working together is just going to make more of a bad situation worse.
Are we safe? Heck yes we are! In the Buffalo Schools we are. I say this because if you'll knidly notice, it's all in suburban areas, carried out by stupid, emo white boys. That doesn't happen here, if someone is out to hurt somebody else, then a plan is made, that person gets shanked, not mass amounts of people. Us city kids are quick and precise, we get the job done. No, no one is really safe, anywhere, but daVinci doesn't need metal detectors, maybe South Park. As for an open campus being maintained here, why not? Theres security here that I'm confident in....most of the time.=)
No, I really think we are safe in our school. And for those schools with metal detectors, there is alays a way around those. But for our school, we are in a college building so you really do not need an ID to enter our building. Maybe to roam da Vinci's hallways, but our hallways only make up part D'Youville's building. Meaning if there was a bomb, just da Vinci would not be affected. What could we do? For da Vinci, I have no clue how to improve our security, because it's not like we can require everyone who enters the building to have ID because it would inconvenience the college students. I guess we just trust and pray...
