They didn’t announce that it was a lock-down drill. They said there was a threatening intruder.
If they said there was a drug-sniffing dog, everyone stay in your class, they could have noted who made a break for their locker.
My children have been told if there is an attack on your school, go out the window if you can and be ready to fight if you can’t. Now I have to tell them, but first make sure it isn’t just a War on Drugs SWAT team because they might kill you.
They failed to mention that THEY themselves were the dangerous intruders.
I would be furious if they did this at my kid’s school.
“My children have been told if there is an attack on your school, go out the window if you can and be ready to fight if you can’t. Now I have to tell them, but first make sure it isn’t just a War on Drugs SWAT team because they might kill you.”
What’s even worse is that the time it takes to ascertain the presence of a SWAT team may be precious seconds or minutes your child may not have, if an armed criminal is in the school, shooting innocent students.
