How the %#$ does a tattooed weirdo get onto a high school campus?

I agree, it's not hard at all. I went to an upperclass suburban high school in north Houston, and one could just get into the school by walking through the football locker-room or the side hallway. I admittedly ditched lunch a few times just by going out the side exit and re-entering a few periods later via the same way. Nobody knew I had left and I never had any troubles leaving or coming back in.

- He was wearing clothes that covered his tattoos. Look at him in that scene, would you really do a double take if he walked past you? No, you wouldn't.
- School security was nothing what it is like now. It wouldn't have been difficult for Max to get to the theater that obviously was in an area of the school that appeared to be isolated from the classrooms in the basement.

Did one of you actually say there was no campus security then? It was the 90's. Of course, there was campus security. The OP is right, no way this guy would have been allowed to just stroll onto the campus and teach.

I was in school during the 90's, and I can tell you that while in elementary school (early 90's), there was no school security. Sure, every now and then an officer would come in and do the whole "don't do drugs" routine, but those were few and far between. Now, in middle school (late 90's), there was school security, in the form of ONE police officer. I believe a character like Max, as clever as he is, probably could get around one cop. But considering the movie was set in the early 90's, no there probably wasn't any school security.

Why all the "early nineties"? The film was released in Nov. '91 so it was based on whatever prior to that. The schools I know of did not have security. In '92 I visited my hometown, and returned to my grammar, junior, and high schools and had no problem walking in and around them. I had graduated high school in '72, so I don't think I looked like I was "attending" classes at even the high school.

No, not always.

I went to High School from 96-99 in two different schools in two different states. Anyone could have easily just walked into the school and walked around. The second school even had an on campus police officer, and you can still walk in and walk around.

With the way he was dressed, who's to say he wasn't the theater or shop teacher? He could probably walk right through the main entrance of the building, carry a satchel bag or briefcase and look the part.

I was in school from 90-'00. There was literally zero security until Columbine, and with that a police officer would hang around my high school sometimes. Also, staff members started wearing name tags.
That was it. -

When I was 29 in 1989 I used to like to drive back and forth across the country. I'd often find college and high school gyms and take full use of the showers, soap, towels, etc in unguarded locker rooms. Saved the money otherwise wasted on hotels. Different world now, and so am I.
