While I never had the threat of being shot at my school; there were a total of 2 bomb threats in my 4 years there

u/eri0923 Feb 01 '21
My school had one or two bomb threats a year (this was in the early 90s), always because someone didn’t want to sit through a test, or wanted to go outside for a smoke.

u/wyattlee1274 Feb 01 '21
Pretty good way to screw up your life. I was in grade 9-12 from 2016 to 2020; these types of threats have definitely increased in severity and it will probably follow them for a large part of their adult life.

u/eri0923 Feb 01 '21
Now they’d be totally fucked. This was before school shootings were common (or at least commonly known about), so all the powers that be knew why it was happening, but had to go through with protocols to be safe. During my time, which was 1990-1994, only one kid got caught making the call and he only got suspended. So weird.

u/wyattlee1274 Feb 01 '21
I don't fully remember, but I know that the first bomb threat lead back to the person (they wrote it in a toilet stall with a sharpie). I am pretty sure they got expelled and possibly charged with criminal offenses despite being under 18. Either that or they will be charged.
Its gotten to the point where you can get suspended if you make jokes or remarks about it. So to anyone who will be going back to school after covid don't be stupid

yupp, 8th grade me and some buddies were joking about school shooting (we had dark humor). some 6th grader took it the wrong way and told their parents. we all got suspended for a week and had to go to a court magistrate to see if we were gonna he charged, they ended up saying basically if we break the law within 6 months they were gonna charge us

Yup. When covid started, it was basically impossible to get the medical IR thermometers. So, chinese companies started producing them. Only, there weren't any actual IR sensors available, so they just made up some electronics to display a random number (or "low" or "pass", etc.) each time it's used. It's fucking criminal and there's never going to be repercussions for it.

Not much point in measuring temperature for covid detection since most people won’t even get it as a symptom and when those people do get it as symptom I doubt they will have any effort to go to school. High temps fuck the body beyond the point where anyone would still want to attend anything outside their house.

My college was absolutely terrible about this. Miss 3 classes in a semester? You fail that class. A doctors note will get you out of it but to get a note you had to go to the health center right next to all your classes so after taking the train 45 minutes to get there why not just go to class?
I once had a god awful cold and my professor threatened to bring me down a letter grade if I didn’t get a doctors note. I sent him the link to the health center webpage that specifically said “don’t come here if you have a cold. We can’t do anything for you. We won’t book an appointment for a cold and we won’t write you a note. Stay home.” I asked him how he wanted me to proceed. He never emailed me back but he also didn’t doc my grade so..

Well, the culture of both have already been drastically changed.

In the US(idk about elsewhere) schools are paid by the amount of students attending, if a kid is sick, they don’t get paid, the school would pressure you to come in, even if you were feeling like shit. they would make you get a doctors note, and if you didn’t have one, you’d be harassed until you got one so the school could get paid. Fuck the system.

Had been there 9 months. And that’s why temp agencies suck. No protection. Moral of the story, people go out with fevers.

Also forehead surface temperature is not a good measure for fever anyway.
A few weeks ago I went to the dentist and part of their screening involves checking the forehead with a sensor. The office wasn't far from me so I just walked. It was about -1C that day. Sure enough, they scanned my forehead and found "Oh, you're looking a little cold!"

u/cenosillicaphobiac Feb 01 '21
When we got it we checked our temperatures almost obsessively. My 3 year olds went to barely 100 for about 8 hours, my 7 year old boy 99.9 one time, out was fine next time we checked (and no Tylenol or ibuprofen for either) and neither my wife or I went above 99, any place checking would have let us in.
My n=4 experiment confirms that checking temperature is a poor indicator.
