Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Late 90s, early 00s, my school didn't even have security. Two pupils were in charge of keeping track who came to the school and would direct visitors. Some teachers would send them to the nearby store to pick up their groceries. It was on rotation and they didn't attend classes that day. The word "drug" was associated with medicine. We used slippers to hit each other with. What a different world, now that I think about it.

What? I graduated in '06 and we had a school cop and metal detectors.

I graduated in 04 but went to a lot of different schools, and one of the bigger ones had metal detectors and sometimes a violent (edit: hahaha violent was supposed to be “cop”, what a wild autocorrect from my fat fingered misspelling!) but was also built using prison blueprints so it was very easy to secure that way (one main door and two side doors that stayed locked most of the time), but the smaller schools had nothing, as it would have cost a lot more to set up there and they didn’t have the budget (multiple entryways, many ground floor windows, etc.).

It also probably depends on the region.

Lol my school was 110 years old in 03. It's still being used.
