School safety from a student's perspective | Brianna Collora | TEDxDeerPark
Places such as sports arenas, concerts, and airports have armed guards to make people feel safe. Shouldn't our schools be treated with the same level of assurance for the safety of students and staff? Brianna Collora is a senior at West Babylon High School. She is eager to leave for college as a history major, and hope to one day become an assistant district attorney. She discovered her love for law, debate, and public speaking when she was chosen for the school mock trial team. she served as captain of both mock trial and varsity field hockey in 11th and 12th grade. In this role she learned how to be a good
leader, and influence both a group and individual in a positive, calm
manner that would benefit everyone.
Brianna finds joy in helping people, and believe that as long as we listen, learn, and be kind, we’ll always continue to grow. As a TEDx speaker, Brianna is excited for the opportunity to educate and help spread
her message to continue to make change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

As an individual who was in high school when the majory stoneman douglas shooting happened just a mile down the road from me, I can say whole heartedly, school safety is something that has impacted so many children today. Brianna gave such a great speech, change needs to be made.
We have one side saying that guns are not the problem, that everyone just needs to be more aware and speak out when students start behaving strangely. And then we have the other side saying that guns are totally the problem and that unless gun control Gets more strict, nothing else will make much of a difference. Meanwhile - court rooms AND Sport arenas in some regions have had metal detectors FOR DECADES.
So proud of you Bri!
Wow, thanks. I'm a decorated ex military Army veteran and a 23 year school guard/safety officer at a NJ school. I'm educated and I'm also civil service worker. Yet my school refuses to give us all certified training although there's funding for it. I'm considering writing a book or two on various topics. What state are discussing and I like your data!

Thanks for your service but you're wasting your time with such fantasies.
Good idea, bring armed guards in the school, also do checks on all entrances. Then you don’t need to change anything when it’s time for your children to go to prison.
what's your contingency to having arm guards? It's well known that there's a small chance that a school disaster will take place.

Hi there! I'm the speaker in the video. I believe that one child killed in a school shooting is too many. Sadly, there have been far more than one child killed, and many more forever traumatized due to school shootings. Any reasonable change that can be made to product children in schools should be considered to minimize or eliminate school shootings.
