    We had fire drills when I was in school, but I can’t imagine having to do regular shooting drills too and having this as a concern https://nyti.ms/2BYUXv1 pic.twitter.com/IcZNCdo82R

        All schools do them. My kids do them. It is disgusting.

        I remember being in HS just after the OK City bombing and someone called a bomb threat to the school. Everyone just went outside as a "break", no seriousness whatsoever. I can't imagine dealing with the intensity these kids are dealing with.

        i had active shooter drills at my middle and high schools down in texas back in the early-mid 2000s. Even then it just felt like another drill. Incredible how normalized it has become.

        It is certifiably insane that all schools - from college to nursery schools - have regular lock down drills during the year. Freedom!

        I am a teacher. We are now trained to be THE first responder. Sad.
