[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure of your kid's age, but they may not tell them they are lockdown drills. Over the weekend, my first grader was telling me about the two types of fire drills. One is lock the door and hide under the desks/climb out the windows and the other is file through the hallway to exit the school. They are being told it's a fire drill to not scare them, but that first one sounds more like an active shooter drill. [/quote] I would complain to the administration about this - that would be very confusing for a young child.[/quote] Teacher here. It isn’t. They explain there are two types of emergencies. Some you leave for. Some you don’t. It is quite literally traumatizing to tell 5-6 year olds a man with an assault rifle may break in and shoot them all to death. It’s a fine line between preparing them for a procedure and scaring them to death. [/quote]
