A Student's Point of View : 10/16/2009 I'm a CURRENT tyro during MHS. First off, we was substantially a usually a singular fearful out of my mind. The rest of my classmates were chilling out as good as talking as good as bored. No a singular was scared, really. Seccond, they didn't tell us anything about a shooting. I've found out all a inform from here as good as alternative headlines sources- a propagandize never told us any of these things. Three, a propagandize security shouldn't be called security. There's a doorway that's roughly always open as good as unwatched near a cafeteria, as good as there's a singular opening guard (s) which have been everyday teachers who take turns watching a doors near a gym. Thankfully most of a doors close automatically. Only teachers can open them then, not students. But we do cruise which MHS should highten security by a longshot. I'm disturbed something most worse is possible in a destiny years. Many of my classmates have been invlolved with drugs, alchohol, as good as can be really violent. Aome have been even known for carrying knives everywhere they go. Many issues need to be addressed during MHS, though we cruise due to this, a thing they should work upon initial is getting a worthwhile security set up. Students would feels safer, or during slightest we would since we have never felt stable in school, from not usually outsiders, though alternative students as well. A Mattituck Sophmore

Shamful headlines & Accusations. : 10/10/2009 Shame upon Suffok Times copywriters! Mattituck High School did do a good pursuit by gripping students in a classrooms...However do those doors even have locks?

I'm a former tyro as good as we would not be quick to take my kid out of a school. we would try to assistance a propagandize to lift money to squeeze improved security. People have been still disturbed since we still do not have proper facts. This was not a student. we privately cruise he could have been cleaning his gun until we see EVIDENCE of mixed gun shells from a same gun, as good as a same time support by a arguable source. Headlines such as "Girl shoot" as good as difference liike "Another School shooting" is a undiluted e.g. of how we should not have quick judgment. The sketch did have a cruise demeanour like a monster though if we did what he says in his statement we wouldn't demeanour happy or flattering either... If we have not already check out a patrolman slowly waddling in this time of frenzy. Who is which cop? Not a investigator though a cop.
