Many of you have heard about the shooting at Virginia Tech. If not,
click here. I think the administration made the right choice by keeping kids in their classrooms. They basically had 3 choices:
1. Evacuation drill. Send all kids to the football field or something.
2. Send all kids home. Class dismissed.
3. Keep kids where they were and wait for further instructions.
They chose the third choice, and in my eyes, the best choice. There were 2 1/2 hours between rampages, but administration was clueless to whether he was still roaming the halls. The first choice would be stupid, because if he found them, he could have easily capped 50 more before everyone was out of sight. The second choice, in my mind, would also be a dumb one. If he realized that everyone was going home, he may have gone onto the streets, making him harder to find and able to kill more people. They should have waited in the classrooms and waited for confirmation that he was dead or apprehended by the police.
