[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my kids to run if they can, not to shelter in place. At their public school they were told that if they are on the playground and there is a shooting, to run and hide in a classroom. I told them to run and jump the fence and keep running to a friend's house that is nearby. I would want my kids in the single parent teacher's classroom. Break windows and run away, not be sitting ducks. [/quote]

Yep. We have done this training at work lately - isn’t it run, hide, fight? IDK why kids are told to hide? I know if you’re deep in the interior of a building not on ground level, no choice but hiding bc it’s unsafe to walk the halls. But for kids on the playground - wth?! Keep running. Run into a neighborhood if it’s a neighborhood school - even if it’s a main road, run to the side of the road and to whatever commercial businesses are there. A bunch of Parkland kids who were nearing the doors for the “fire drill” did this instead of turning back and running to classrooms. It may have saved them. Some jumped a fence, waded thru some creek w alligators and that’s STILL safer than an AR and got to a middle school on the other side; some jumped a fence and ran to a local strip mall and started calling for help/parents from there.[/quote]
