[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Exactly. My DD thinks they are tornado drills. She has no concept that they are for an active shooter. Schools do shelter younger kids from that (as they should).

Umm, what school is telling them they are tornado drills. Our FCPS has never done that, ever. And I had a kid in kinder when they started, and another one after that.[/quote]

Our school district does NOT do that either.  [/quote]
Nor our elementary in MCPS. When my dd was in first grade, she told me that during a lockdown, if you happen to be in the bathroom instead of a classroom, you’re supposed to lock yourself in a stall and stand on the toilet seat so bad guys can’t see you. When she was in second grade, some kids wouldn’t be quiet and the teacher told the kids that if it had been a real lockdown, they could have all died. If schools tell kids that lockdown drills are tornado drills, what do they call actual tornado drills?

Having said that, anyone with common sense would give a bare bones explanation of 9/11 to a 6 year old they’re babysitting, turn off the 9/11 coverage, and give the parents a heads up when they come to pick up their child.[/quote]
