[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Kindergartener had this drill. The teacher informed us beforehand that there is a predetermined "story" ("a bear comes into school and we must huddle together quietly in the closet so he doesn't hear us") shared with this age group because they feel the children are apt to be frightened by the actual drill. The school asked parents to partner by going along with the teacher's story.[/quote]

Yes. I think in our preschool they are hiding from a wolf in school. It’s not extreme and made into a game. [/quote]

I mean this will work for a preschooler and maybe a kindergartener, but around K or 1st grade some kids can read, understand radio and TV, and have older siblings. So kids will know about school shootings and will see through this "bear" crap.

If I had unlimited energy I would organize my school not to do these because I think they are just harmful and not useful at all. But I don't, so I guess I just bitch about it on DCUM.[/quote]
