[quote=Anonymous]We have taught our kids to follow the teacher if the teacher's plan makes sense. But to think for yourself and follow through. So, if you are going to run you better run as fast as you can and get hidden as quickly as possible. Out kids are in high school and they have identified 4 places away from school that they will try to get to. Basically, one in each direction. A grocery store, a public library and 2 friends houses. These houses both have ring cameras and electronic locks. The parents have told the kids that if any of them show up at the house they will be let in.

5 years ago our school had a lockdown where teachers had to hid the kids. Our then 5th grader spent 40 min hidden in a cabinet. This has made these discussions more common in our house. Our teens also do not turn their cell phones into the teachers. They know that the phones are to be off and put away during classes. But the number one reason our kids have cell phones is so they can contact us if needed in an emergency. The phones stay with them. No teacher has ever had an issue with this. They agree as long as the phones are away, they should stay with the kids.[/quote]
