I looked up the statistics and almost every school shooting occurs during transition hours or large gatherings (lunch, gym, etc). I brought that up to my principal and asked "why are we doing drills in the middle of class when that's the least likely chance of occurrence, why don't we spread drills out so we're more familiar with different scenarios? If a real shooting starts between classes everybody in the halls would be scrambling, a classroom would be the last place i'd hide in because they'd know we're in there" He said that'll take too much time and will disrupt the learning environment.

Our practice lockdowns in Australia:

3:46, FINALLY, SOMEONE POINTS THIS OUT. Even when I was little, I always questioned why that would even work, since pretty much every school lockdown operates the same. Plus, here's a real shocker, the shooter likely went to the same school too! Meaning he knows the exact procedure and that the students are hiding in the corners of the room, he knows where to shoot.

5:58 LMAOO THE INSTRUMENT ARMOUR

As a person who has been in an actual lockdown, everyone WAS freaking out. We sat in a super small room, 40 people, for about 2 hours, we almost jumped out the window and we found out it was actually a different school that had an intruder. But, love the vid it’s super funny.

I always thought lockdown drills were stupid when you consider the fact that the shooter would know how the drill works.

Having been in a real fire at a school(it wasn't major, just a kitchen fire in culinary), people were still walking in single file lines very calmly, just like the drills taught. If the fire has reached the point that it's right outside your classroom, the alarm system has failed and that's the time to panic.

My math teacher in Middle school usually follows the school's rule for lock down drills but he did tell us, if someone happened to break in, the first thing we should do is throw anything from laptops to chairs at the intruder.

As a kid, I had an awful fear of fire drills, cause I’d always get jump scared by the fire alarm, this was no silly fear either, I had it for so long and I needed a psychologists help to rid of it. I’m not afraid of fire alarms anymore, but I’ll never forget it.
