I hate that there is a need to prepare our babies but.....
I think permission from the administration and parents would be required to do something like this, and I bet there are less drastic ways to get the message across.
I have a daughter who teaches music to these same age kiddies, and she will probably be livid when I send her this article. She tells me often of how tender the feelings are at this age, and I recall when mine were that little.
I was the kind of Mom who wasn't shy about taking on the whole school administration over my kids.
In fact, I'm ready right now! Anybody wanna go with? ;)
You’re right we should prepare but not this way. It will only terrorize kids. If these kids now are faced with a real gunman at school they will be even more afraid than they would have been without having the “drill” experience.
Being passive is the worst approach. Even the Japanese knew invading the US was pointless. “Behind ever blade of grass will be an American with their rifle.”
We are teaching are kids to die on their knees in a world more dangerous than ever before.
What I still can’t figure out is why that moron at VT wasn’t rushed by kids and disarmed. They actually lined up so that he could shoot them.
I’d tell my lawyer, “Make sure everyone from the principal on down is unemployed, and money is no object.” The principal actually tried to spin it this AM. Couldn’t believe it.
