I started teaching the year after Columbine so I’ve watched these drills become more and more elaborate. They are traumatic for students & teachers. Plus there’s always one student that tries really hard to go to the bathroom right before the drill so they can mess with admin

At least practicing crouching under your desk doesn't give away to the radiation where it can find you.
