I went to a north east prep school with lots of well off kids. It was not like that.
Really the only private schools that have that sort of armed security are those that house diplomats children for terrorism reasons.
I should have reread BB's post before posting that . I forgot that he used the word armed, and was thinking about the rest of the description.
I was also thinking about colleges as well as prep schools. I grew up in an affluent SF Bay Area suburb, and attended public schools (K-12) that haven't been below the top 1-2% in California (academically) for probably 60+ years. However, some families in my community sent their kids to private prep schools outside the community...all (except two) west of the Mississippi (AFAIK), and some of those schools were walled and had manned gates (with unarmed personnel , AFAIK).
Part of my collegiate experience was on a campus that was walled and had a manned gate (again, the 'guards' weren't armed).
I had two childhood friends who prepped in the NE, one at St. George's, and one at St. Paul's, but I never managed to visit them during those years. The closest I came was visiting another friend in New Jersey, not too far from where Trump National is now located (this was well before that club existed, and my friends were members at Baltusrol, a bit over 20 miles away).
I now live in The Woodlands, TX. I drive by The Woodlands Prep International School almost every day that I am in town, and it is gated...with a fairly large gatehouse at the entrance.
Militarize the country at ruinous economic and social cost to make sure that gun manufacturers make more money and that a segment of society gets to keep their toys? Superb.
Take away the legal firearms while leaving the illegal weapons in the hands of the criminals? Absurd.
We going to do that at all theaters, churches, hospitals, shopping malls, parking lots, community centers, all buildings on college campuses, work place, etc..
Ad nauseam....
We don't need to post armed guards at all those places provided we stop making them gun free zones.
Arming teachers and other trusted school employees, trained individuals already on site, eliminates the ten or twenty minutes the shooter normally has to slaughter innocent children.
