A video game is recruiting the brightest minds of Russia for war. The problem is that they still go to school

by

Russia gave a blow this week revealing a video of a few minutes. In it, the interior of what they have called as “the largest secret factory of combat drones on the planet”, located at some point in Alabuga, in the Tartaristan region, was prisoned. The piece showed us a huge army of drones with their workers assembling the pieces. However, there was something else: most were not adults, They were teenagers. A video game and a war. History is part of an investigation and exclusive to Russian media in exile The Insider. Apparently, since the summer of 2022, under the appearance of an educational and entertainment platform called Berloga (“Bear Dirridge”), Russia has been recruiting hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren in a progressive technical-military training system focused on the development and use of drones, camouflaged after video gamescompetitions and programs with academic incentives. The game, approved Personally by Putin And symbolically presented in the busy city of Sebastopol, introduces children into a children’s narrative in which “smart bears” They defend The vital resource of “bees” insects, a barely concealed allegory where bears are Russia and Ukrainian bees. From the first levels of the game to participation in face -to -face competitions and the physical assembly of drones, children are guided along a route designed to transform them In technicians and operators useful for the Russian military complex, all while assures them that “they should not say that it is for war.” From command to the welder. Berloga is not an isolated initiative, but the entrance door to a broader educational network built by the so -called agency for Kremlin strategic initiatives, in which They converge NTI Technology Clubs, the TALANT student achievement monitoring platform and the national archipelago intensive. These programs are connected to each other through competitions As great challengesin which thousands of students work in solutions to “technological” problems (which often have undercover military purposes) proposed by companies associated with the Russian State. Screen capture of the concept of a superpesado launch vehicle with a water -based launch system from the “Large Challenges” program Privileged minds to war. He counted the medium That the students who stand out are rewarded with extra points in the national exam, presidential scholarships and direct entries in companies in the defense sector, such as Geoscan, Yakovlev or Almaz-Agent. The tasks presented to them range from the Improvement of the navigationN from UAVS to the design of unmanned vehicles launched from floating platforms, through automated drone detection systems and laser loaders for tactical use. Although J is requiredUstify the projects As if they were for civil use, the students themselves admit That it is a formality: the real objective is military. Children engineers. Adolescents who participate in these training skills and networks not only program or design prototypes, but some (related to research for themselves) They train soldiersthey set up FPV drones and work to undercover military laboratories in exchange for contracts by work with the consent of their parents. The components they use in the contests are the same as they then use in the operational versions of their creations. In other words, knowledge flows directly to the front. Dual technology. In one of the cases, a young man named Stas developed a kamikaze drone low cost to replace current models of the Russian army whose price exceeds $ 10,000 per unit. Another, Vladislav, collaborated with a state company for Test war teams electronics about its own air platform. Companies, Like Geoscan or Yakovlev, segment their operations between civil and military branches, a common practice that allows maintaining the legality facade against international sanctions. This structure of “dual technologies” is held by officials such as Vice Minister of Commerce Vasili Shpak, who argues that there is no longer a clear distinction Between the civil and the military. The official narrative line points to a future in which all technological innovation will be automatically usable for the war conflict. A photo of the Official Telegram Channel of Zarnitssa 2.0 Child Military Training Child involvement in these programs goes beyond technical learning. Here it seems Intensive archipelagowhich in its beginnings covered various sectors, and has been reconverted in an almost exclusively drone course. Includes exercises like Recognition, electronic evasion, drone launch from land stations or search for objectives with thermal cameras. In parallel, Berloga allied in 2024 with Zarnitssa 2.0the modern version of a Soviet military game. The program, financed with millions From rubles of the state budget, he has trained tens of thousands of schoolchildren between the ages of 7 and 21 In the use of weapons Compressed air, Wannera-47 rifles massers, drones flight and choice of military specialties such as Zapador, UAV operator or political instructor. Discrepancies. Some schools are They have complained that both students and teachers have been forced to participate. Zarnitsa It is managed For the Yunarmiya Youth Movement (Young Army), linked to the Ministry of Defense and that in 2025 will receive More than one billion of rubles in subsidies. For the Russian authorities, the objective It seems clear: Detect military talent from an early age and channel it to the defense industry. War pedagogy. There is much more, since research emphasizes that this mass and silent recruitment of minors for war purposes is being institutionalized with Explicit support of the Kremlin. Putin has ordered drone competitions for children since the age of 7, and new school subjects Centering national security include training with UAVs. The official goal is to achieve “technological sovereignty” by 2030, and today’s adolescents are expected to become the military operators of tomorrow. Officials such as the Deputy Minister of Education Dmitry Afanasyev defend The formation of children in military technology under the pretext that “there are no purely civil applications.” In His wordseven a agricultural drone operator You must have combat competitions, as in China. Thus, Russia is institutionalizing a war pedagogy where the child ceases to be a citizen in training and becomes an anticipated military resource. Rights of the … Read more

EU’s new agricultural strategy begins in an unexpected place: in the school dining room

by

The market share of fruit and vegetables imported has grown up in a sustained way In the last years of countries outside the EU. Meanwhile, local producers see how their margins narrow before a competition with other rules. Faced with this reality, the European Commission It raises a turn in one of its most daily policies: That schools prioritize foods of community origin in their menus. A discreet measure in appearance, but that points directly to the heart of the European agricultural model. A proposal of Brussels. All the fruit, vegetables and milk that reaches school canteens from EU countries will have to be local products. The proposal, presented last week, directly affects the European school program in force since 2017which seeks to promote healthy eating habits from nursery to high school. According to the draft to which Financial Times has had accessthe new text includes an explicit clause to favor “Made in Europe” products, not only for nutritional reasons, but as part of a broader strategy of impulse to community production. More than health. On the one hand, the initiative is part of a protectionist tendency that has already reached other key sectors such as defense, energy or critical raw materials. On the other, it is part of the debate on the future of common agricultural policy (PAC), one of the key pieces of the European budget. According to El Confidencial reportthe reform of the multiannual financial framework (2028–2034), endowed with two billion euros, cuts the PAC in favor of items such as defense, which has caused strong criticisms of the agricultural sector. Associations of Spanish farmers have already protested in Brussels against cuts that consider “a conviction” for the field. Concern is not only economical, but also structural. The Commission recognizes, in the document itself, that there is a growing imbalance in the food chain that especially affects primary producers. In the words of the text: “The unfair distribution of income, risks and cost burden disproportionately affect the agricultural sector.” Adaptation of the new standard. The new approach seeks to adapt the current school program of the PAC to the current demands. According to the draft filtered by Financial Times and confirmed by the official website of the Commissionproducts of community origin will be prioritized, with low climatic footprint, certified as ecological, sustainably packaged or from small local farms. In addition, those products rich in added sugars and saturated fats will be excluded from the plan. A community official cited by FT Thus summed up the philosophy of the measure: “It is good that the children know that this apple comes from a tree five kilometers from their home.” Currently, 17 Member States already apply criteria for local or regional preference in their school programs, according to the commission itself. The intention is to harmonize this practice at European level and reinforce it. The structural problem. The school reform arrives at an especially sensitive moment. Morocco has established itself as one of the main suppliers of EU fruits and vegetables, displacing in some cases the European product. According to An article by El Economistathe community import of Moroccan fruits and vegetables grew by 14% in the first quarter of 2025. A commitment to food sovereignty. Although the school proposal may seem secondary in economic terms, it is part of a broader paradigm change. As Financial Times remembersBrussels has begun to introduce “Made in Europe” clauses in strategic areas such as defense, state aid to the green sector and now also in the agri -food system. The objective is not to close borders, but to establish fairer reciprocity conditions and reinforce sectors considered strategic for the stability of the continent. Among them, food. According to the commissionguaranteeing access to safe, affordable and quality foods is one of the pillars of the European project, together with the defense of the rural economy. A difficult bet. Beyond the food debate, what is at stake is a definition of economic, commercial and social model for the future of Europe. In an era of growing global protectionism, the European Commission gives clear signals: from defense to school breakfast, the “made in Europe” wants to impose as a norm. But in the attempt to protect the European farmer, Brussels site delicate land, where commercial tensions and market realities are not always so easy to digest.

Aragon wanted his children to eat more fruit at school. So he went to look for her 10,000 kilometers away

by

The Aragonese political debate has waited these days with two unexpected protagonists: fruit and schools. Or rather, the fruit that is distributed in schools. Although Aragon has thousands and thousands of hectares full of fruit and vegetable trees and stands out in the production Of cherry, peach and apples, among other fruits, the farmers of the region have raised their voice to complain that in the educational centers of their villages, pieces that arrive from plantations located abroad are being distributed, in some cases thousands of kilometers. The complaint the has launched the union of farmers and ranchers of Aragon (UAGA) and puts the finger in a yaga that already has taken to the collective To the street. What happened? The complaint has been made public UAGA-COAG. In A statement Published yesterday the Agrarian Organization ensures that there are dining rooms of educational centers in Aragon in which fruit arrives from foreign countries is being distributed. Moreover, UAGA goes further and claims to have witnesses confirming that in several schools in the region oranges from Egypt and pears of South Africa have been delivered, cultivated to more than 10,000 kilometers of distance. As a test, the association includes a photograph in which a box of pears is shown that indicates that its origin is South Africa, although there is no reference that reveals that the image was taken in a Aragon school. Click on the image to go to Tweet. “Unfair competition”. In its statement UAGA claims to feel “outraged” by the importation of fruits that it is perfectly possible to find in the Spanish fields and questions that countries from which the merchandise is brought meet the sanitary, environmental and labor standards that the European Union does require that community farmers. “It involves the violation of the demands of the organization and the fruit growers that require the application of ‘mirror clauses’ to imports from third countries “, They emphasize From the collective. UAGA-COAG wields two reasons that, in their opinion, condemn local farmers to suffer “unfair competition” against imports from other countries. The first is the strict regulation imposed by Brussels to European plantations on the use of pesticides, manipulation and conservation of fruit. The second is labor costs. While in Spain they go up every year, in Egypt, complaintthe minimum wage is 176 euros per month and in South Africa it is around 270. Looking at the EU. The complaint of the UAGA has reached enough draft for the Aragon Government to have gone to give explanations. The regional press appointment Sources of the Ministry of Agriculture that clarify that the key is in the financing of the lunch and sowing program to schools: the funds start from the EU, with what they arrive accompanied by their standards. When hiring the fruit supply, a geographical proximity requirement is not applied nor is it requested that the products be of community origin precisely to avoid a “discriminatory competitive advantage” in the process. The regional government argues that its role is that of intermediary. And now what? The Regional Executive emphasize Also that the objective is to “consolidate healthy eating habits” among schoolchildren and that fruit and milk are distributed at times such as lunch and snack, not in dining services. The program is not exactly new, but now it is offered with mixed funds that combine a community contribution and another from Aragon. With the EU money, a lot of 300,000 euros that is managed with the requirements of Brussels is paid. With the one contributed by the Aragon government, another 200,000 is financed that can handle with its own criteria. And the administration already guarantees that, “in line with its defense of the local product,” will give priority to proximity productions. The idea is to distribute cherries, apricot and nectarines, although they can also be replaced by apples or pears if requested by the centers. Beyond schools. The fruit distribution program is important because it reaches hundreds of school points and thousands of children, but the “outrage” of Uaga-Coag is not explained only by the alleged distribution of pears of South Africa and oranges of Egypt instead of fruit grown in the Aragonese countryside. Farmers It has come out To the street On several occasions to claim decent prices, changes in community policy and greater controls to ensure that the merchandise that comes to the country conforms to the community demands with which they work. “These parameters make it possible to import fruit from third countries profitable for certain companies and generate unfair competition at all levels,” the Agrarian Association in Your statement. “To end these practices, UAGA insists on claiming public administrations (regional, state and European) the regulation of markets and the recovery of the principle of community preference.” Images | Federicoeth Photography (Flickr) and Uaga In Xataka | We have a hard time differentiating a banana from a banana.

School digitalization was full of mistakes, the same ones we are committing when undoing it

by

Madrid has decided to turn off the screens. And, as we have learned, the community of the community prepare a decree to prohibit Individual use in computer, tablets or mobile class more than half a million students from around 2,000 community and primary education centers of the community. That is, the intention of the Community of Madrid is to expand the veto to the smartphones that are in force to all digital devices. “Back to essence.” Those have been the words of Miguel Ángel García Martínregional government spokesman: “What is limited is individual use, it is not allowed in the classrooms of the Community of Madrid (…) We intend to return to the essence of books, notebooks, dictates, the care of spelling, calligraphy, and all that will be compatible with which Madrid students have those digital skills so necessary.” “There are many countries that once gave the way of introducing digital devices, and are reversing what we could call the essence of traditional education, adapted, yes, to today’s time,” explained (although without giving more details of how training will be articulated in the different digital competences that marks the curriculum). One step further. It is true that the decision of the Community of Madrid, at least apparently, is a step beyond The recommendations approved by the State School Board A year ago (and focused on the use of mobiles). And, indeed, it is something that connects with the general opinion state that has promoted prohibitions of digital devices in dozens of countries and regions around the world. However, that does not mean that everyone is in favor. While there is no lack of stands in favor of the measure (“the digitalization of the classrooms has been a carafal error that we will be recovering years”), neither are concerted schools lack rejecting the idea and calling her from ‘radical’. Changes! Changes? If we look at the content of the decisions it is impossible to deny that, indeed, the decision of the Community of Madrid is a change for many schools. However, if we look at more structural issues we will see more continuities than innovations. Above all, in something that Catherine L’Ecyer said in the worldthat we legislate following fashions and opinion states. It is true that it was not prudent when it comes to demanding solid evidence before implementing the use of tablets in the classroom. As true as we are now withdrawing them without having a strongly founded action plan. A scientific debate that does not end. For each report like that of the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (“The results from recent scientific data suggest that digital devices in the classroom, used for personal or educational purposes, in the best case do not bet any benefit to learning and in the worst case they have a negative effect”) we find one as This Swedish research (“Mobile prohibitions have no impact on” school “performance). In this context, and beyond the concrete debate, it must be remembered that the true consensus is that The measures that really improve The academic performance and emotional well -being of students are others. The screens are still cosmetic measures, “while those that They could contribute To improve the mental health of our teenagers continue in some drawer. “ How to face the future. One of the historical complaints of the educational system is that the legislation does not stop giving bands: it is not only that the new laws arrive with problems, but does not give time to evaluate its effects before the next government changed them again. It happened with pedagogical approaches, With bilingualism. And is happening with the problem of digitalization of classrooms. For this reason, what begins to be unplayable is to look for ways to introduce changes guided by available evidence.

The problem is secondary school

Go ahead: that the iPhone 16E Count on just one camera is simply unjustifiable. We want to use more cameras or not, the addition of a wide angle or optical teleobjective is a minimum to demand in this price range. Said which, that this phone incorporates a single camera makes much more sense than we may seem to the most Techies. The evolution of camera systems on phones is A story of comings and goings. A few years ago it was The absurd fashion of megapixelsafter which the companies themselves have admitted that they are of no use if the quality of the sensor and the final process does not accompany. Until not too long ago, fashion was to flood the phone with up to four cameras, including macro and deep cameras whose utility was also at least questionable. There is so much obsession with the number of cameras that some manufacturers even add empty holes that look like cameras. Everything seems to have stabilized in a current sweet point in which everything moves much easier: two or three camerasfour for the most ambitious (double optical telephoto). But even at this point of common sense we continue to face a big problem: the quality of secondary cameras in mobiles of less than 1,000 euros is minimal. In fact, it is usual to find main sensors with good performance accompanied by ultra -angle sensors of 8, 12 or even 50 megapixels with mediocre quality. It is also common also in humble teleobjectives (2x): they only serve to do a little zoom during the day. Apple wanted to solve the zoom problem as it did on iPhone 14 Pro: taking advantage of the 48 megapixels for Cut the central area and achieve a zoom “lossless“. For practical purposes, you have a similar quality to that of an X2 optical zoom Reddit They suggest that the ultra great angle does not enjoy the best popularity. There is a lot, a lot of work to do yet. Image | Apple In Xataka | What camera for beginners buy: these are the models and recommendations of the Xataka editors

Years ago Mexico opted to offer longer school days for children. Caused an increase in divorces

by

A time ago a group of economists from the University of Tennessee It was done A peculiar questionfor the concepts and ideas that combines and also its implications: does the school’s school day influence The divorce rate parental? If the time children spend at school clearly affects To the dynamics of the families, conditioning as basic aspects as the hours of adults for other tasks, does that factor interfere with the couple’s breakdown? And if so, how? And why? After crossing school data and separations recorded for several years in Mexico, the experts reached A curious conclusion: The expansion of school days or have greater access to schools with extended schedules does seem to affect divorce rates. It increases them. School Conference (and something else). Over the years articles (many) have been published on how the different school day models They affect To students, their performancehe school abandonment or the “Child Wellness”. The debate It is old and root in a dilemma on which they have run ink rivers: Continuous school day or departure? There are those who ensure that this response has implications that go far beyond the classrooms, such as The gender gapthe Differences of opportunities or family poverty. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A new factor: divorces. María Padilla-Romo, Cecilia Peluffo and Marian Its derivatives: The separations. And they have done it based on a very specific question: how does the expansion of the schooling work affect divorce rates? To find out they basically handle two sources, the statistical records of marriage ruptures and school data on the expansion of the school day in the public primary schools. In Mexico they found databases for both fronts, so the country ended up becoming its particular (and huge) laboratory. The data they obtained and interpretation have just reflected them in An essay Posted in Journal of Public Economics. But what did they analyze? The researchers took advantage of a phenomenon that played in their favor: the “Large -scale expansion” of the model of Full -time school (Full-Time Schools, or etc, with a “Extended Day” of Between six and eight hours) In Mexican municipalities from 2007 to 2016. To be more precise, economists resorted to census data from the monitoring of the monitoring Program etc. of the Secretary of Public Education that corresponded to the 2007/2008 academic year, in which It began to applyand 2015/2016. Then they compared the degree of implementation of that program of school day expanded by municipalities and were fixed in women in divorce procedures in each of those locations. In short, they crossed data. The information on marriage ruptures was obtained from the National Institute of Mexican Statistics and Geography (INEGI), where the cases processed between 2000 and 2016 consulted. And the surprise came. After working with the different records, the researchers discovered that there seems to be A marked relationship between the extension of the school day in the primary centers and the ruptures. At least in Mexico. “We found that the expansion of the school day in 3.5 hours causes a significant increase in divorce rates,” explain economists in Your article. “In addition, the effect is increased with each year of exposure from municipalities to full -time schooling.” A well calibrated trend. The experts They go further and share their calculations on the relationship between both factors, broad teaching days and ruptures. “We found that, as a result of an average increase in the availability of etc. of 24 percentage points, the divorce rate increased by 0.041 divorces per 1,000 individuals (an increase of 12.6 in relation to divorces in the municipalities treated in the year prior to the opening of the first etc) “. Moreover, researchers even appreciate that “the effect increases over time” and the increase in the divorce rate is higher when families enjoy the longest teaching days for seven years. “Our main estimates suggest that the availability of ETC It gave rise to 23,119 additional divorces between 2009 and 2016, or approximately 4.7% of the total number of divorces presented during that period of time, ” The study abounds. Its authors also detected another key trend: the longest school days gave rise to greater divorce rates in areas where less traditional social norms overwhelmed on marriage, divorces and female work. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The question: Why? Extend a few hours the time that primary school The article From Padilla-Romo and his companions suggests that it is not. Maybe it’s a few hours, but influence classrooms. And the reason is that this extension of school days is in its own way “an implicit subsidy for children’s care.” Having their children during a broad period in schools – on its website the Mexican government points out that in etc From 8.00 to 16.00 h– Parents have more time. Especially women, in which It regularly falls The care of the offspring. And those hours can use them in working outside their homes, in exchange for a salary that reinforces their economic independence. Although the researchers recognize that the greatest job among women can have other consequences, such as generating “conflicts”, that mothers with an “abusive couple” remain less exposed to it or simply increase the flow of money that enters home, what That facilitates to face the expenses involved in divorce and separation, the researchers suggest that the economic factor is essential to understand the phenomenon. “A disproportionate fraction”. “Mothers and other female members of the family dedicate a disproportionate fraction of their time to the care of children. The longest school days provide them with an increase in their effective time provision, which translates in better opportunities to acquire individual income “, Zanjan The three authors of the study. “As a result, the negotiation positions at home are probable.” “Our results show that the extension of the school day gave rise to higher divorce rates in areas with less traditional social norms on marriage, divorce and the priority of women in jobs, … Read more

They are bad for mint performance and health, but prohibit them in school does not work

by

In recent years, the great educational issue of half the world has been exactly the same: what to do with mobile phones at school. To such an extent the controversy that As Laura Cano says“The digitalization of minors is polarizing families inside and outside the classroom.” And worst of all, we have no data that allows us to know if either of the two options make more sense than the other. Until now we thought it was because the studies were biased, now we just discovered that it is for something else. The greatest global study to date. 1227 students from 30 schools in England that They have been monitoring For a year from the University of Birmingham. Not only have they obtained their records for the use of social networks, but a battery of mental health results, well -being, sleep quality and physical activity. Among those students were some that were in centers that had prohibited the use of smartphones during the school day and others that did not. What have you found out? The interesting thing is that Researchers have discovered that there are no differences between the two groups of students. Neither in mental well -being, nor in emotional disorders, nor in sedentary lifestyle, nor rest levels. There were neither substantial differences in academic achievements or in negative behavior. It is true that telephone prohibitions led to a slight decrease in the use of telephones (about 40 minutes) and social networks (about 30 minutes), but the impact is too epqueño to be significant. So no matter how time adolescents spend with the mobile? Not quite. The study He has found that there is “a link between spending more time for use and worse results in all things studied.” What happens is that the prohibition in schools does not have enough impact on the lives of young people to be decisive. That is to say, As Professor Miranda Pallan explainsfrom the University of Birmingham, research shows that “addressing the general use of the phone should be a priority to improve health and well -being among adolescents”, but “school policies are not the miraculous solution to prevent harmful effects” . In fact, we can be quite sure that “the restrictive policies on the recreational use of phones in schools do not lead to better results among students.” And what do we do? This seems to reinforce the ideas that some experts have been defending for years. Jose César Perales, Professor of Psychology of the UGR, denounced last year that “a cosmetic measure (prohibitions) is taken, while those that could contribute to improve the mental health of our teenagers continue in a drawer.” We run the risk, these experts come to tell us, to divert the meager resources of the system towards measures with little return. “What the evidence really says is that raising”, Perales said “It admits enormous variability and that, once the material and affective needs are covered, almost all the impacts of the concrete form of parenting are quite small.” The same is time to rethink how we are distributing resources.

Student dies after being shot by classmate at Nashville high school

by

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, USA — A student was killed and another wounded Wednesday when they were shot in the cafeteria of a Nashville high school, nearly two years after a school shooting in the city that sparked an emotional debate over gun control in Tennessee. The attacker, a 17-year-old boy who was also a student at Antioch High School, later committed suicide, Metropolitan Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said during a news conference. Police identified him as Solomon Henderson. Police Chief John Drake said the gunman “confronted” a 16-year-old student in the cafeteria and began shooting, causing her death. Police identified the student as Josselin Corea Escalante. Drake mentioned that police are investigating a motive and whether the shooter was specifically targeting the students he shot. The student who was injured suffered a graze and was treated and released from the hospital, Drake reported. Another student was taken to a hospital to treat a facial injury that occurred during a fall, Aaron said. There were two school resource officers in the building when the shooting occurred around 11 a.m. crazy time, Aaron said. They were not in the vicinity of the cafeteria and by the time they got there, the incident was over and the attacker had already committed suicide, Aaron added. The school has approximately 2,000 students and is located in Antioch, a Nashville neighborhood about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southeast of downtown. At a family safety center near a hospital, officials helped shocked parents reunite with their children. Dajuan Bernard was waiting at a Mapco gas station to meet his son, a 10th grader, who was held in the auditorium with other students that Wednesday afternoon. He learned about the shooting from his son, who “was a little scared,” Bernard said. Her son was upstairs from where the shooting occurred, but told her he heard the shots. “He was fine and he let me know that everything was fine,” Bernard said. “This world is so crazy, it could happen anywhere. We just have to protect the children and educate them well to prevent them from even doing this. “That is the hardest part,” he commented. Fonda Abner, whose granddaughter is a student at the school, said Antioch High School does not have metal detectors that would alert school authorities to the presence of a weapon. She said her granddaughter had called her a couple of times, but she only heard commotion and thought it was an accidental call. They spoke briefly until the call was disconnected. “It’s nerve-wracking waiting out here,” Abner said. United Family Fellowship, a church located in Antioch, hosted a vigil Wednesday night “for anyone in the community who needs a space to pray, process and find comfort,” the church posted on its Facebook account. Hours earlier, Adrienne Battle, superintendent of Nashville schools, said public schools have implemented a “range of security measures,” including partnerships with police for school resource officers, security cameras with weapons detection software, installing shatter-resistant film for security windows and vestibules that are a barrier between outside visitors and the main entrance. “Unfortunately, these measures were not enough to stop this tragedy,” Battle said. He added that there are questions about whether stationary metal detectors should be considered. “Although previous research has shown them to have limitations and unintended consequences, we will continue to explore emerging technologies and strategies to strengthen school safety,” Battle said. In October, a 16-year-old Antioch High School student was arrested after school resource officers and school employees discovered through social media that he had brought a gun to school the day before. When he was detained the next morning, officers found a loaded gun in his pants, police said. Wednesday’s school shooting came nearly two years after a gunman began shooting at a separate private Nashville elementary school, killing six people, including three children. The tragedy sparked a months-long effort among hundreds of community organizers, families, protesters and many more pleading with lawmakers to consider passing gun control measures in response to the shooting. However, in a state dominated by Republicans, GOP lawmakers refused to do so. With the overwhelming Republican majority intact after the November elections, it is unlikely that lawmakers’ stance has changed enough to consider any significant bill addressing gun control. Instead, lawmakers have been more open to adding more security to schools, including passing a bill last year that would allow some teachers and staff to carry concealed firearms on public school grounds, and ban parents and other teachers to know who was armed. Antioch, a growing and diverse area of ​​Nashville, has seen other shootings in recent years. A deadly 2017 shooting at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ killed one woman and injured seven people. And in 2018, an attacker killed four people at a Waffle House restaurant. State Rep. Shaundelle Brooks ran for office largely because of the death of her son in the Waffle House shooting and was elected last year after the Covenant shooting. She said the Antioch High School shooting reinforces the need for gun control reforms. “We must improve,” he asserted. “Since losing my son, Akilah, in a mass shooting in 2018, I have been fighting to ensure this never happens again,” the Nashville Democrat said in a statement. “Here we are almost 7 years later, and our communities are still affected by gun violence.” Samantha Dickerson had taken her 14-year-old son’s phone away as punishment, so when she received a message from his school about the shooting, she had no way to contact him. “I was nervous,” she said. “I was really about to collapse.” After about three hours of waiting, she finally received a call from her English teacher and spoke to her son. “When I heard his voice, I just started crying,” she said. ___ Associated Press writers Kimberlee Kruesi in Nashville and Adrian Sainz in Memphis, Tennessee, contributed to this report. ___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.
