Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

I really don't see how doors opening INTO the classroom are safe. For one, children inside during a fire would pile up on a door. For two, a door that opens inward is easier to kick down than a door that opens outward. Plus all those doors are either glass, or have windows large enough to stick a hand through and unlock the door.
Installing bullet resistant glass would just be a moronic waste of money. Instead of trying to find a scapegoat and spending money on physical prevention, they need to stop the underlying problems that push unstable people to become killers.
Bullet resistant glass is only useful on things that can move, or if you have armed guards right there with virtually no delay in response time. Might as well just go the 'hire veterans to guard schools' route for much cheaper security while giving jobless people a chance to work. You cannot win a game of "we will be ready this time" against people who act irrationally. You need to fix the ultimate problem, not the symptoms of the problem.
