[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I'm fine with the drills- sadly they may be necessary- I just think the explanation needs to be more age appropriate especially for kids in week 3 of formal school. [b]Agree with PP who suggested saying something like, ""We are practicing what to do in case there's an emergency."[/b] [/quote] But that's not what happens for all emergencies. We practice fire drills and, for lack of a better word, active shooter drills. Both are emergencies but the practices are very different. I'm fine with the term "bad guys" or something similar. I do prefer uniform language since we all have to deal with this in a variety of settings. At my workplace, we call it active shooter. [/quote]
