[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I’d opt out but for language I’d just say - “sometimes we practice what to do in an emergency. Some emergencies, like a fire, mean listening to the adults and leaving the building quickly. Some other emergencies mean staying out until a grown up tells you where to go. Kids don’t have to decide what to do. Just listen to me or the grown up teacher. Practicing will help you remember that!”[/quote] +1 to all of this. At my kids' school they're told that it's in case an animal escapes from the zoo, we have to be really quiet to not scare it while they work on catching it. My kids are not at all bothered by this drill and accept this explanation as reasonable.[/quote]
