[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the drills (with the kids) are critical. If something like this happens, they have seconds to react and some level of muscle memory is critical. And a quick and appropriate reaction will make a difference for some people to survive the situation who might not otherwise. However I don't think the kids need to be told "bad guy" stories. [b]Tell them they're practicing how to stay quiet in an emergency[/b].[/quote] While I agree there may be some other way of saying it, they need to differentiate the "hide and be quiet" drill from the drill where you are sheltered in place. I guess we were all just lucky that our nuclear war drill was the same as our tornado drill (cover your heads with your hands and hide under your desk). Man, those must have been tough desks.[/quote]
