[quote=Anonymous]In my DCPS elementary school we just call them lockdown drills. We’ve done them for real when there have been shootings outside and once after a shooting outside and we found an unsecured door to the building. Kids get down and sit in a corner farthest from the door and windows. We sit down silently and wait (except for the few kids who like to be jerks and intentionally make noise…or the kid I had once repeatedly and loudly ask in the not a drill lockdown what kind of gun we thought the shooter had). I teach kids who are aware of shootings and almost all have been personally impacted by gun violence. I still explain it in vague terms of we need to practice how to keep you safe from things that might be happening outside. [/quote]
