It astounds me that we can put electronic security doors on the government Office of Mattress Tag Checking, but security at an elementary school depends on Cross-Eyed Janitor Charlie remembering to lock the door in between smoke breaks.
Not to belabor the point, but IME the janitorial staff is most often really good about locking doors since they are directly accountable. If stuff gets stolen it will come down on them and if vandals get in they are the ones who are gonna be cleaning up the mess/graffiti.
It’s teachers and especially students that tend to prop them open so they don’t have to walk all the way around the building to get back in.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
