[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, this is true. I have friends whose 4th graders are a part of this group of kids who ran out. I do want to note that the teacher did run out with them and stayed with the kids.

I get the situation was crazy, and I’m not in any of those people’s shoes. I’m not trying to accuse anyone. But this shouldn’t be covered up…it should be learned from.

Clearly this wasn’t the right protocol…[/quote]

It’s hard to say what is right as we weren’t in that situation.  I’d want a teacher to give the kids the best chance possible and if it were safe to run, run. [/quote]

But that’s the point. Running was literally riskier than staying at the school. The shooter was at large in the community (apparently hiding in his own backyard with the gun).

Not at all the teacher’s fault, but clearly the announcement was made in way that induced panic leading kids to believe the shooter was at their elementary school. And MCPS needs better system wide communications. [/quote]

No, its not necessarily as the shooter could make their way into the classroom and shoot.  At least running they had a chance.  The teacher made a judgement call, and did their best.  I'd be thankful as its impossible to say what each of us would do in that situation but I'd want her or him to give the kids every chance to survive.[/quote]
