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. MF my guts being spread across the lockers is a pretty big disruption to the learning environment!
I went to a high school in southern california. Every day, for four years, somebody pulled a fire alarm somewhere. After the third year of this happening, consistently, every day, the lady on the PA system didn’t even bother following up on the alarm with “please disregard the fire alarm”. I don’t blame her. Everyone got so used to hearing it that nobody reacted to it anymore- we either just stopped talking until it shut up after a couple seconds or talked over it. I’m pretty sure most people stopped flinching in response to hearing it go off suddenly. When the fire alarm finally actually went off because there was a fire in the ceramics room, nobody batted an eye. And we all expected that to happen- we were all well aware how desensitized we were to it and you’d often hear jokes about how somebody is probably gonna die because nobody gives half a shit about the fire alarms anymore. Obviously nobody died. But the fact that the fire alarm went off because of an actual fire and nobody was aware of that until like a day or so later is pretty telling of something.
Yep, same thing for me. From elementary to high school people would pull the fire alarm at least once a week. At least in SoCal the only drills we really had to do were earthquake drills which are like 3 minutes and you don't have to leave your class room for them.
I'm in Baltimore County, Maryland during my children's time in high school, kids were calling in bomb threats to get the school evacuated. Don't know what good it was to have them sitting on the grass around the school if it was a bomb, but we witnessed it multiple times one year.
Fun fact: The reason that you need to evacuate in an orderly fashion is to prevent suffocating to death in a human crush, or said human crush blocking exits entirely. Honestly they need to scare kids in school with that info because yeah, it does sound dumb on a surface level.
Yeah, it's funny to see all the mouth breathers in the comments here who think they are smarter than building inspectio and think their school could combust any moment or just wanna run out without any regards to the lives of their fellow students
@@uncommonsaucers2355well it’s not like that. So the reason for putting people in a line is because when people panic about a fire or somin related, their instincts tell them to run, which makes sense yes. But when you take account of 70+ students running to 1 door or per each door, it’s very likely that a few kids can be trampled by the crowd and even be killed because of the crowds the whole point of the drill, is to prevent more deaths
As someone who has experienced a real fire in my elementary school, we ran for our lives to get out that school. The fire belonged to the class's bulletin board next to us. I got trampled once, but we were helping each other out. Whoever fell, we picked them up and got them to safety. Even our teacher told us to just run.
@zuji yu,, ༒ It's so ironic though, because after that incident, they still gave the same old "single-file" fire drills. Now I can say from personal experience, that sh will never help you in your life.
@zuji yu,, ༒ lol I live on an island and my school i up in the mountain. I used to go to public school on the mainland and we were told to run across the street (not the main road it was a dead street in a way) to the music store or the local wendy's. But yeah were I live we have earthquake drills, fire drills, and flood drills but suprisingly not hooting drills. For the fire drill we are expected to run down a hill to the sporting feild and for floods, man it's really stupid. We are up in a mountain in our school so I doubt we would get flood because we are on a slope. But if we do somehow flood even though we are at a high point we are expected to go down to the lowest point in the school (THE GYM WHICH MIND YOU IS LEGIT REALLY DOWN LOW) and everyone in the school is supposed to stand in one single room while the school somehow floods. I can guarantee you that if our school were to magically flood sitting in a room while water seeps in aint gonna help.
@zuji yu,, ༒ Yeah it's pretty chill. Only down side is it's expensive because everything such as food and mail is shipped in by boat. And our island is only 13 miles long and doesnt even have a Walmart or chic fil a. We do however have one of the very last kmarts.
I was absent when one happened in the gym at my school in kindergarten bc I was sickity wickity. One of my classmates, DJ (David) told me about it and I'm like 👁️👃👁️ 👄
I don’t think the point is to trick the shooter into thinking nobody is home. I think the point is to make sure they don’t have line of sight from the doorway, and need to break in to get a shot. They would need to expend ammunition and time to shoot the lock off, giving school security a better idea of where the danger is and buying them time to stop it. Though if they get in there isn’t much you can do.
We had a teacher from Michigan named Mr. G who survived a school shooting and he straight up told us that we weren't surviving a lockdown drill sitting in the corners like that cuz they would just shoot through the paper thin walls 💀
It’s so ironic with the tornado drills because that’s exactly what your NOT supposed to do! Schools have it all wrong, if a tornado comes and starts tearing up the school, you can say goodbye to your spine and walking when a huge piece of the roof hits your back. I’m glad my school updated the drill to be better.
I remember in elementary and middle school the teachers were like “I’ll handle it if a real lockdown occurs” and now that I’m in high school my teachers are like “Do what you must. I have spoken”
I remember being told that when teachers get the job there’s an agreement they have to sign where they’re supposed to do whatever they can to save the life of their students; even including sacrificing themselves if needed.
as a kid (around 5th grade) we had a bomb threat towards out school. nothing really happened, but it stuck with me because our teacher did the wrong protocol and made us do the hurricane/tornado drill in our classroom instead. all the other classes didnt do this. its been almost 10 years and im still pissed about it
My school use to be a factory and there only one big window in one room. There are no other windows anywhere else. I guess I’ll have to chew on the damn bricks 💀
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. Tldr: The shooter knows that students are hiding in the corner and that the room isn't empty, because he also went to school.
@@jakeergueta9009 exactly they'll know when which classrooms are actually full or empty at what time, there is no guess work b line it right to those rooms, why do people think school shootings get these casualties, they know what's up and know where to go and when. new plan of action is needed fr.
People who are school shooters don’t try to really get away with it. They only have a limited time, like about 15 minutes at most to kill as many people as possible and/or reach their goal. So most schools do the hiding in the classroom with doors locked and barricaded because they know the shooter has limited time, and would move on if they couldn’t break down the door fast enough.
Yeah, yeah. We get it. He's awesome. Can we stop with these unoriginal comments now? Seriously, I see these sorts of comments every time this dude posts a video. It has to stop! Edit: To those that are replying to me thinking I am being harsh and mean, I am not. I get that you guys want to show your expression towards a creator you like, but it's just that I see these comments all the time. Look, I am sorry, okay? For now on, I'll just keep my mouth shut. I shouldn't have said anything to make you guys think I am hating when I am just pointing something out. Please don't take this the wrong way.
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.
once my school, ( they were lazy, and ordered pizza from pizza hut for lunch, but still have a kitchen) left a fricking PIZZA BOX in the oven, AND THEN- NO DONT LOOK AWAY, THEY PREHEATED THE OVEN, LIKE 4 WHAT- AND THE BOZ GOT LIT" SO THEY SHOVED ABOUT 200 DUMB KIDS AND 10 ADULTS IN THE NEXT DOOR BUILDING, (Sadly the horrible school didnt burn down, Its was in Detroit, like talk about 'IM iN thE gETTo"
I lived in Alaska during my elementary school years and we literally had drills for when Moose would come onto campus it was wild. We actually had one come on campus at one point it was pretty fun. We had cubbies for our snow clothes and backpacks and we had to hide behind all our stuff, turn off the lights and lock the doors. Wild stuff.
wtfff for the schools i’ve been too in AK we’ve never had a drill for moose 😟 mostly earthquake and ALICE drills, especially after the earthquake 4 yrs ago
The best thing I recommend for lockdown drills is to hide in a well hidden spot, like a cabinet, especially if there’s anything sharp in there, if the shooter finds you, just throw anything sharp you can at them. Usually shootings happen at schools with older kids, that meaning there are lockers, hide in the locker, the physicallycant hurt you.
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.
Only a few people had their phones and were freaking out and we kept looking at the news to see if it updated, later we found out two people were killed :(
Also, the teacher yelled “shut up” at us because we were all talking, we weren’t sure if it were a drill or not, but the teacher found out that it wasn’t
One of my middle school teachers were actually very smart and told us that if we were in a lockdown drill situation we could run out of school from a second back entrance. She also taught us how we could actually fight the person with water bottles, pencils and such. She even had a baseball bat in her room just in case.
@@WiltedSpades I mean the metal water bottles, not the plastic ones. They can be quite heavy, and using a handle, you can hit someone very hard with it.
This year at our drill, I was in my art period. And he was talking about how we could defend ourselves with the objects around us so I was assuming we could shank the shooter with the xacto knives, beat their head in those really long yardsticks, or splash their eyes with paint or something. NOPE he opens a cabinet under the sink, revealing BRICKS. He then told us "Worst case scenario we use these. If 30 people were throwing bricks at the shooter, I think he'd be incapacitated long enough for us to run" THE SHOOTER WOULD DIE IF 30 PEOPLE WERE THROWING BRICKS AT HIM. Even better, our escape plan or hiding place is a ladder leading to the roof, and he said we would take the bricks in a bag and if the shooter starts climbing up or walks by, we would drop it on them Home alone 2 style. And in chemistry they would just throw acid on them which is something else
@audreyjones7880I hope you know that everybody is just laughing at you, you are the laughing stock and the punching bag of the internet and everybody hates you
had an armed student on campus once and it was terrifying. everyone else knew about it, but i and a lot of other students didn't because we were TAKING AN AP EXAM. they announced a lockdown on the speakers (the school had lockdowns, drug searches, etc. etc. all the time so it was nothing new), but it was after the test that started raising the alarm. most kids had to leave their backpacks and phones out in the hallway and because of the lockdown, we couldn't go get them and call our parents. some kids had brought their bags to the bleachers, so everyone was contacting their parents through their friend's phones, but it was scary. it was a bunch of 14 and 15-year-olds locked in a gym with no or barely any way to contact their parents after a 2-hour long test. it wasn't until we heard helicopters and were let out of the gym that we knew what was going on. it would have been a level 3, but because the kid was just barely outside the building it wasn't, but it's scary to think about. edit: wow im famous
@@medjaimcgraw5632 no bc then the parents could call 911 and if too many people call at a time 911 would be bombarded with calls or something like that idk
@Volt_759 no, we weren't allowed to call our parents normally, that came out kind of wrong lol. we should have been able too though normally. parents were notified of the threat at the school and texted their kids. however, most kids weren't able to contact their parents because their bags had to be in the hall and they couldn't get them due to the lockdown.
In my old school were allowed to run outta that building but we had to hug our self- but the slow people go on one side then the runners go on the other I LOVED THAT SCHOOL-
The one time we had an actual fire I remember my teacher just ran away and left us all in class confused. The fire did not spread that far and was controlled fairly quickly, but our principal was mortified when he saw that we were still in our classroom completely unaware of the danger we were just in.
Last time we had a school lockdown my calculus teacher just turned of all the lights and continued teaching. We later found out it wasn’t a drill, but there was a car crash outside and they didn’t want any students going out. No reason to shut down the whole school still
@@swift3520 Yes, that is a shelter in place. In school, an announcement would say "shelter in place" and make the teacher turn off the lights and lock the doors but continue teaching
In late elementary, one of my teachers was just like, “in a real situation, you just run. We’re not gonna do the drill.” And once in a while, that was sort of reiterated by other teachers through middle school and high school.
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. He was also smart enough to disobey the line up rule for fire drills. He told us to just run out the door and he'll see us when we get outside.
Bro they make us all walk out and we get yelled at if we aren’t in a straight line than we line up on the fence with our backs to the school and they just put privacy screen on the fence but we have the one with like bars and some of them came out so you used to be able to walk out but now you can’t even see
I was in school 3 years ago and they started teaching this new method of self defense where you first tired to evacuate out the nearest window/door, and if you couldn’t, you barricaded the door and picked up whatever heavy object you could and got ready to violently throw it at the invader and fought back against them if they got past the barricade and into the room. It was way better and felt like a method which I was actually going to survive with.
I had that too, my teacher even said she'd distract the shooter with false platitudes of, "I know this isn't you, think about this, ect" walking up to them so we could take a chair or other heavy throwable defense.
For the fire drill part, my regular teacher always says to get out of the building and we know where to go and to not worry about them, but that one damn sub…..MRS KNOTT IM TALKING BOUT YOU*sigh* How dare she have the audacity to tell us to be quiet and we’re not going to move unless we all get into a straight file line like girl what is half of the building is literally on fire what if one of us is on fire that you’re literally just going to stop what everyone’s doing just because we’re not in a single line like Bro I could literally be burning right now
mfs are all like "but what if we're burning!!!" then they wont be in a single file fucking line, it's to prevent that shit from occurring yall are like "this shit aint happening in real life!!! its unrealistic!!" we practice to be as CLOSE TO THE IDEAL SITUATION AS POSSIBLE, this is not an exact replication of what actually would happen, but it is what *should happen* if yall would just follow directions like a normal fucking child none of these problems would exist, my god
i remember my state history teacher (goat btw) explained what we’d do in a lockdown. We’d bust open the window with a chair, grab some textbooks for cover and since the window faced in the direction of the hospital, we’d literally book it using the textbooks to somewhat shield ourselves and eventually get to the hospital about a half mile away.
Same with my 7th and 9th grd health teacher, the class was in the library which had a door that led directly outside the school. He told us to grab the biggest book we could find to protect ourselves (our school is fulla nerds so like textbooks) and book it across the street and hide in someone's house.
Actually textbooks do serve some level of body armor. Low caliber firearms like .22s can be stopped by really thick books, and if not, it would stop on some layers of said books. A few people online have made videos about it, I believe from my memory the consensus is about 2 yellow phone books worth of paper would stop a .22.
I had a lockdown in my primary school and we were told to turn off the lights and duck under our desks. It was real, but we had no idea of knowing at all so we thought it was a prsctice drill and my class was talking very loudly and making jokes. Turns out the lockdown was just for some kid who got their head stuck in between two bars outside, and every single other class besides mine heard firefighter sirens and were scared shitless. I still dont know why to this day that lockdown was even necessary.
This reminds me of when our third grade teacher told us about the time the school had to lockdown because of a kid who ran off to their home because they got spooked by another drill the school was having, which was of course a fire drill...
The best part of lockdown drills is how everyone asks questions that could potentially save their lives, and the teacher just goes, "there's a million what-ifs you could ask so let's not worry about them"
In my school they changed the way we handled shooters, now every class (including PE) has their own unique escape plan for a school threat. But i hate how kids don't treat it seriously and talk like shut up and wait until its over
I'm glad everyone in my school is serious about it. Actually, we have conversations at the beginning of the year and students help the teachers figure out ways to improve the procedures.
Ugh fr. One time, we had a lockdown drill in my 3rd hour class, and everyone was SO LOUD! Like, how would you be able to take the actual thing seriously if you can''t even handle a gosh darn drill? I don't care if you feel like you're about to go insane if you can't talk to your best friend for two minutes. It's literally two minutes, can you not be quiet for two minutes?!
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. Just wanted to share a personal story about me and safety drills, great vid as always.
As someone who works in an elementary school, I will say, school drills are not for the students. They are for the adults in the building. It gives us practice on how to handle the situation and keep the children as safe as possible
And to add on, the school shooter will not spend their time trying to bust through a locked door. They are just finding a unlocked door, or a student out in the open to get the most kills streaks as possible.
I miss my 9th grade English teacher. She said if a shooter had gotten into the room,she’d be behind the door with her metal baseball bat and would swing it at their shins. She even practiced it during lockdown drills,and would stand behind the door with her bat at the ready. I want to see her again.
I live in Canada, and we do lockdowns pretty much the same as America. I have a couple of stories about the lockdown drills. When I was in Grade 2, the principal checked the door to see if it was locked, and we all started screaming because we thought somebody was trying to get in. I was terrified of lockdown drills after that. In Grade 7, the first time we had a lockdown drill, it was literally just a picnic. Almost everyone was eating snacks and laughing and talking, and our teacher didn’t do anything for some reason. We had another lockdown drill a couple months after that, and this guy kept talking, but this time the teacher told him if he continued, he would be sent into the hall by himself. This year, we had to do another lockdown drill, and the same guy was eating chips, and everyone was staring at him. The lockdown was practice, but we had to do a real hold and secure, (basically nobody was allowed to leave their classroom or the school) because something was happening in a high school kind of near us. It was the second day of school too! If there’s ever a real lockdown, nobody’s gonna do what we do during the drills! Everyone’s gonna hide or try to escape
We all had that one teacher that everyone liked and had an actually good sense of humor that told all their classes during a lockdown drill, “If this were real, we’d be out the window and in the woods by now and I’d have my metal bat in case.”
yeah my 4th grade teacher was like that. he said he would generally protect us, and he meant taking one of our chairs and using the metal leg to shove it into the intruder's forehead.
My teacher has a hammer in her classroom hidden and the only reason I knew she had one is because my binder broke due to me falling on ice, I fell onto my bookbag. The metal part of my binder was the only thing broke in my backpack so she hammered it back to good condition again.
3:52 when I was a freshman, I had a teacher that was actually smart when it came to drills. She told us that if the intruder announcement came on, that our first reaction should be to sprint out the door (we had a door leading outside) she said that the faster kids should run and try to get help, and the slower kids should spread out and hide around the room
@@kamigozen584 oh no I mean a door that opened to the back of/behind the school, from there it would be easy to just run to the road and into a store or smth
I work at a college and we have stupid drills like this…. Fire drill is the worst And you get yelled at if you don’t walk slow during a fire! I’m also a cook at the college café so I have extra fire drill tasks like turn off all the equipment and shut down everything before leaving even if my stuff is the main cause of fire!!! I can’t leave till everything is shut off and cleaned up. so I’m most likely to die having to be last one out…… these drills are most annoying if I am actively cooking!!! Also the nearest escape door is far away so I have a better chance of surviving by smashing and jumping out the nearest 2 story window…. Also instead of actually doing a tornado drill they just tell us of where to go if a tornado where to happen and I’m not a student so i don’t even know where this safe room is even located!? And they never tell you!! They just expect everyone to know!!? I just know it’s one of the auditoriums? but have no idea Wich one and where it is!? I never ask tho because I live in an area that has never had a tornado before and that’s why we don’t do actual drills…. But we should still say where the room is located for those like me that don’t even know!? We don’t do any kind of actual drill except for fire drills. For like a shooting drill we just have stupid don’t be a hero posters talking about school shooting drill routine…….
I had one teacher who not only looked like a Chad, he WAS a Chad. The guy was former rangers, and his classroom was right next to an exit. He always told his students that if there was an active shooter, he'd be getting the classroom out asap. Not only that, he knew where the lock down perimeter was, so he gave us a line to get past as soon as possible so we wouldn't get locked in the school zone.
Good that’s an actual way for you to survive plus if there’s a school room on floor one with a window GET OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW IN A HYPOTHETICAL ANIMAL BREAK IN OR SHOOTER staying will make you sitting ducks waiting to go to heaven
I had a fire drills this year (I'm in an artistic school) and when the drill started it sounded TOO REAL. And when we needed to get out (love my class- no I hate them but I respect them, some of them) took their eletronics. EVERY SINGLE PERSON. they where like "mf this ipad costs me more than the nether region and you want me to leave it to burn? NO. they all took the tablets and compiuters (I have 27 classmates here), and after all of that the drill was fake.
My school recently went into a lockdown during lunch. Like the principal, vice principal, security police, and a teacher were all running somewhere, which is when you know sh- bad. We all went to class (so we moved from the cafeteria to our classes) and we had to stay in that one class for like 2 hours and 5 minutes but it changed to a shelter in place. My class didn’t do anything and me and a group of friends + some people I don’t really ever talk too just started playing card games. Also I was feeling sick that day and I guess the anxiety of the lockdown made the sickness go away. (Not condoning / condoling (are those the right words?) shootings or anything.)
I remember in 1st grade we practiced a lockdown drill and we all went into another room to stay quiet. No one took it seriously and we were all laughing. At the end of the drill another teacher came in and yelled “IF THIS WAS AN ACTUAL DRILL WE WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN SHOT” several kids including me all cried realizing what would have happened if it this happened during an actual break in
FUN FACT: i actually experienced a false alarm for a fire once instead of walking out the standard way with the rest of the class, there was a door directly in the classroom so i sprinted out of there alongside 4 other students. it was the wrong way and i felt stupid when i walked back in after it was revealed that it was a false alarm, but i was not waiting for the fire to get to me i was getting out of there
My old high school sucked, I had 8 small fires and/or gas leaks occur that set off the fire alarms. Typically, they were resolved quickly, but the entire building had to be cleared before we could be let back in. One notable gas leak took over an hour to confirm it was safe to re-enter. The smaller fires typically happened from the cafeteria catching on fire or a dumb kid setting fire to a bathroom trash can.
In my elementary school there was a real fire, like 5 bomb threats, a shooting threat. a kid broke my arm, and 2 of my classmates got in a fight and severely hurt each other. Elementary / primary school has more drama then any other school I’ve seen lol 😭
In my elementary school, I used to be in special ed so which if you don’t know, there’s a bunch of literally crack heads there, to the point there was like multiple shooting threats directly from my classmates, and someone literally pulled the fire alarm, which got them suspended
Welcome to Australia! I’ve had 6 lockdown drills at school in 4 years here. 3 was about foxes, 2 snake scenarios, and the first one was when a prep (whatever grade the 5 year olds are) found a wasp nest and our school was being terrorised by wasps :D
when i was in middle school, and my siblings wee in elementary, there was a soft lock-down at our school. nothing big, just a robbery down the street. they told us it was real in middle school, but never did in elementary. i find that really frightening thinking back on all the times when my teacher wasn't notified when we had the drills before.
I’ve only ever had one teacher actually tell us to just jump out the window and run to the nearby forest. Coolest teacher ever, super chill down to earth lady.
The way my middle and high school handled lockdown drills was the teacher would tell us to choose our own places to hide instead of huddle all of us up in a corner. I remember in middle school I chose to hide under the teachers desk(There was no exposure, the area under my 8th grade teachers desk was entirely enclosed) and all of my classmates were giggling, laughing, and talking too loud. So afterwards, I flat out told them had it been real they'd have been deader than a door nail had someone actually got in with a gun.
One drill I had to practice is Earthquake drills since California is prone to having earthquakes, not too often though. It's probably the safest natural disaster to occur at school, but at the same time your kinda living on a prayer, and hoping the $2 IKEA school desk can protect you 💀💀
ngl earthquakes are probably the safest since they rarely happen here but if it was a big one, most of us wouldn't survive off of these flimsy tables, and my school has hanging lights
It's funny how they tell us it's safest under the desks but the only desks my school has (outside of the science classrooms) are the itty bitty fused chair and desk ones. I do not know a single person who can actually fit under one of those. I do however, know a few people who have injured themselves trying to fit under the desks during drills.
I've had a real fire incident and a lockdown at my school. The lockdown was because of someone dangerous near our school. It was when people were arriving to school. I WAS OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL WHEN IT HAPPENED. The teacher literally told us to run to the nearest classroom. I remember we pushed a big cabinet in front of the door because we're not trusting the corner to save us. In the fire thing, we all just ran out in a blob through the nearest door. The drills they do are so bad. They really need to do better.
My reading teacher allows the class to screw up the school intruder when they get in the room. She literally has an aluminum bat and tells us that when they're vulnerable we should get anything to hit them with things like chairs and even scissors. Mrs. G knows what's up.
Your teacher was one of the few smart ones who knew the enforced protocol is complete bullshit that more often than not will get students killed. Honestly good for her, and I hope she still encourages her class to do that (if she is still a teacher). I remember our classes having to follow protocol, and I’ll be honest I always though I’d have felt safer hiding under a table in front of the door waiting to kick the intruder’s knees out of socket than curled up in the corner of the room waiting to be shot. Take the initiative to save your own life and the lives of others.
@elegies of the end My teacher said that she'll be beside the door and when the shooter comes in, she'll immediately hit'em in the knee caps so they'll be down on the ground, leaving the attacker open to any attack from 20+ 8th graders with chairs, scissors, etc at their disposal.
As someone who has a disability that could make it difficult to exit the building in the case of a fire, one of my biggest fears is getting left behind 😭😭 I'm sure you're probably not 100% serious, but there were times where students would complain about teachers helping me out, saying "in a real fire, you'd leave em!" 💀 Another thing that was strange about shooter drills, was all our doors only locked from the OUTSIDE. I even told my teacher "hey if you have to leave the classroom to lock the door, wouldn't you get shot and leave everyone in the class vulnerable?" The teacher nodded and said they'd bring it up in a meeting (nothing happened so idk if they did lol)
Damn i know those students were trying to survive and I am from a country where thee were no shooter drills but damn that’s brutal. I felt bad they say they should left a friend or classmates behind just because they are slow or immobile. A bit selfish not gonna lie
I went to school with a girl who had spinabifida. Life in a wheelchair. In fire drills and other evacuation drills, a strong adult would carry her down the stairs and outside
@@lonelycoffee8374 I'm well aware that "spinabifida" is a ligma balls type joke, but I'm a dumbass and can't think of how you'd get me with that, so please, I ask, what is spinabifida?
@@hazysnowstudios7553 spinabifida is a real illness. It's when a baby's spinal chord doesn't develop properly, leaving the back to be pretty much useless. And there is no cure, no amount of surgeries or anything to make it better. Life in a wheelchair, the girl couldn't even use the bathroom by herself. She had to wear diapers and had a urinary catheter
the intruder drill changed in the last couple years of highschool for my area. We still needed to lock the door and turn off the lights, but we were also told to grab the nearest weapon and have people guard the door from the intruder while everyone else started an escape plan to get the hell outta there without getting killed.
Yeah for us its that too but to also barricade the doors with tables desks chairs anything we have. They also taught us to grab the nearest item whether its a book, desk, scissors, anything and just start throwing things at the shooter
@@Neoln unless you catch the shooter offguard from the back or side, you can stab him really hard in the neck and try to pull the gun away but you gotta be lucky for that to happen
How school expect the drills to work: Fire drill: the fire wouldn't be able to catch up if you're in a line Shooter drill: you become invisible to the shooter if you stay in the group Tornado drill: the tornado will be confused if you do whatever that is, and leave you alone
Fire drills always scared the hell outta me. I could just be minding my own business doing some work only to have the absolute shit scared out of me by some blaring siren. I always dreaded them.

One time, my school had an actual lockdown (not a drill) and it just so happened to be right after lunch on ice cream day, right after 6 y/o me had concluded that saving ice cream in my lunch box for later couldn’t possibly go wrong. Then, once the code red became a code yellow and the lights went from off to dim, revealing a puddle under my backpack, the teacher’s assistant had to help me clean the mess all over my lunchbox, school supplies, backpack, and the classroom floor as quietly as possible while my classmates colored in silence. Thankfully, the shooter was apprehended before anyone could get hurt. (The code red first started because he was reportedly seen leaving a _neighboring_ school, probably the local high school, with a gun, so everyone was on the lookout for him.)
I always thought lockdown drills were pointless because the shooter would definitely know how it works. Then, one day, my history teacher was answering questions before a lockdown drill, and told us that if this was real, we had to get our pencils and aim for the eyes. She's my favorite teacher now🤣 I can't get arrested for the replies to this comment, can I??
To be fair then shooters won’t waste time on locked doors. They gon go in, shoot, and out. If it’s locked and they can’t get in, your safe. If it’s not locked that good luck, your screwed.
I remember durning a practice lock down we all were sitting in the classroom and normally like the principal or someone knocks on the door for some reason. And when they knocked on the door our substitute teacher has the bright idea to open the door and say “hi.” if that was a real lockdown we all getting blasted.
When I was in elementary school, they once had a real lockdown because there was supposedly a man with a gun outside. Now this was right at the end of the day so we were all about to leave and go home and some classes literally had to go back into their rooms because the announcement was made. We stayed there for like 20 minutes because the guy was still out there. Turns out the “guy with a gun” was a parent that came straight from his job as a cop to pick up his kid and still had his gun.
Teachers at our school always tell us how to behave if someone ever breaches the classroom. The plan usually involves stacking or tossing desks, using them as shields/weapons. There’s usually also furniture near the window to climb as an escape, etc. It’s not nearly as clueless as some describe. Most of us know what to do, and it doesn’t hurt being prepared. Personally, I like drills. And they take time off math, in any case :)
Yeah, I had a cool choir teacher who let us just fight to the death down the stairs during a fire drill and get outside quickly but you bet we were body slamming over students but then another class were coming out the same way for some reason so the people who were getting stepped on were also accidentally shove little children into walls because for my school fire drills the teacher would be at the back
Had a similar situation during a Fire Drill in Sophomore Year Geometry. We were about to take a quiz but while the teacher was still passing out the papers and everyone was talking, I was able to hear the first few alarms out in the hallway, there was about a 5 second delay between the hallway alarm and the classroom ones. I immediately threw my hands in the air and excitedly yelled “YEEEEEESSSSSSSS”. Everyone, teacher included, looked at me weird until the fire alarm in the classroom finally went off. Reason for why I cheered? Was not prepared for quiz.
This, exactly! In my school, they tell us to stack desks in front of the door and throw chairs, water bottles, scissors, etc. at the attacker. Just make sure it's either big, heavy, or sharp, or all of the above. Some people really think it's just huddle up, duck your head and pray, but that is a flat-out ridiculous plan.
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.
MF my guts being spread across the lockers is a pretty big disruption to the learning environment!
they don't really care about our safety. they just want to pretend like they care so they can't be held liable.
Already disrupting learning anyway I don’t see that much of a problem
what do you mean by transitioning hours? like when you get to class?
True, I'm a freshman and we recently had a lockdown due to an armed student.
Happened 3 minutes before we were supposed to go to second period.
"Bruh stop spraying your guts all over the walls, you're disrupting the learning environment. I'll have to send you to the principals office."
I went to a high school in southern california. Every day, for four years, somebody pulled a fire alarm somewhere. After the third year of this happening, consistently, every day, the lady on the PA system didn’t even bother following up on the alarm with “please disregard the fire alarm”. I don’t blame her.
Everyone got so used to hearing it that nobody reacted to it anymore- we either just stopped talking until it shut up after a couple seconds or talked over it. I’m pretty sure most people stopped flinching in response to hearing it go off suddenly.
When the fire alarm finally actually went off because there was a fire in the ceramics room, nobody batted an eye. And we all expected that to happen- we were all well aware how desensitized we were to it and you’d often hear jokes about how somebody is probably gonna die because nobody gives half a shit about the fire alarms anymore.
Obviously nobody died. But the fact that the fire alarm went off because of an actual fire and nobody was aware of that until like a day or so later is pretty telling of something.
Yep, same thing for me. From elementary to high school people would pull the fire alarm at least once a week. At least in SoCal the only drills we really had to do were earthquake drills which are like 3 minutes and you don't have to leave your class room for them.
Same, I also went to school in Southern California but the fire alarm
Isn’t pulled as often, but it’s likely to go off twice a month
I'm in Baltimore County, Maryland during my children's time in high school, kids were calling in bomb threats to get the school evacuated. Don't know what good it was to have them sitting on the grass around the school if it was a bomb, but we witnessed it multiple times one year.
Isn’t pulling a fire alarm a crime tho? How come they didn’t get expelled🤔that’s a felony
This man wanted to give weapons of max destruction and body armor to kids who want to take over the world that is such a bad idea
Fun fact: The reason that you need to evacuate in an orderly fashion is to prevent suffocating to death in a human crush, or said human crush blocking exits entirely. Honestly they need to scare kids in school with that info because yeah, it does sound dumb on a surface level.
Yeah, it's funny to see all the mouth breathers in the comments here who think they are smarter than building inspectio and think their school could combust any moment or just wanna run out without any regards to the lives of their fellow students
True but if the roofs collapsing or something like that, no one's gonna walk out of the school
Aren't fire escape pushbar doors invented to be unblockable in that same exact situation?
@@uncommonsaucers2355well it’s not like that. So the reason for putting people in a line is because when people panic about a fire or somin related, their instincts tell them to run, which makes sense yes. But when you take account of 70+ students running to 1 door or per each door, it’s very likely that a few kids can be trampled by the crowd and even be killed because of the crowds the whole point of the drill, is to prevent more deaths

As someone who has experienced a real fire in my elementary school, we ran for our lives to get out that school. The fire belonged to the class's bulletin board next to us. I got trampled once, but we were helping each other out. Whoever fell, we picked them up and got them to safety. Even our teacher told us to just run.
@zuji yu,, ༒ It's so ironic though, because after that incident, they still gave the same old "single-file" fire drills. Now I can say from personal experience, that sh will never help you in your life.
@zuji yu,, ༒ lol I live on an island and my school i up in the mountain. I used to go to public school on the mainland and we were told to run across the street (not the main road it was a dead street in a way) to the music store or the local wendy's. But yeah were I live we have earthquake drills, fire drills, and flood drills but suprisingly not hooting drills. For the fire drill we are expected to run down a hill to the sporting feild and for floods, man it's really stupid. We are up in a mountain in our school so I doubt we would get flood because we are on a slope. But if we do somehow flood even though we are at a high point we are expected to go down to the lowest point in the school (THE GYM WHICH MIND YOU IS LEGIT REALLY DOWN LOW) and everyone in the school is supposed to stand in one single room while the school somehow floods. I can guarantee you that if our school were to magically flood sitting in a room while water seeps in aint gonna help.
@zuji yu,, ༒ Yeah it's pretty chill. Only down side is it's expensive because everything such as food and mail is shipped in by boat. And our island is only 13 miles long and doesnt even have a Walmart or chic fil a. We do however have one of the very last kmarts.

I always thought lockdown drills were stupid when you consider the fact that the shooter would know how the drill works.
At my school, the teachers aren't allowed to explain the full plan to the students for that reason
And I'm more alarmed that you guys actually have that type of drill. Thats just scary
if they even suspect the classroom is empty they will move on, why waste time on an empty classroom?
especially because some of the students are shooters
I don’t think the point is to trick the shooter into thinking nobody is home. I think the point is to make sure they don’t have line of sight from the doorway, and need to break in to get a shot. They would need to expend ammunition and time to shoot the lock off, giving school security a better idea of where the danger is and buying them time to stop it.
Though if they get in there isn’t much you can do.
We had a teacher from Michigan named Mr. G who survived a school shooting and he straight up told us that we weren't surviving a lockdown drill sitting in the corners like that cuz they would just shoot through the paper thin walls 💀

It’s so ironic with the tornado drills because that’s exactly what your NOT supposed to do!
Schools have it all wrong, if a tornado comes and starts tearing up the school, you can say goodbye to your spine and walking when a huge piece of the roof hits your back. I’m glad my school updated the drill to be better.
What did they do that change
I remember in elementary and middle school the teachers were like “I’ll handle it if a real lockdown occurs” and now that I’m in high school my teachers are like “Do what you must. I have spoken”
I remember being told that when teachers get the job there’s an agreement they have to sign where they’re supposed to do whatever they can to save the life of their students; even including sacrificing themselves if needed.

Realistically, THIS IS SO TRUE. No one wants to stay calm in a fire. However, they’d die of smoke inhalation before they even start burning.
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.
Tldr: The shooter knows that students are hiding in the corner and that the room isn't empty, because he also went to school.
Except he doesnt know which classes are empty or not, so he will waste time breaking into empty classrooms

People who are school shooters don’t try to really get away with it. They only have a limited time, like about 15 minutes at most to kill as many people as possible and/or reach their goal. So most schools do the hiding in the classroom with doors locked and barricaded because they know the shooter has limited time, and would move on if they couldn’t break down the door fast enough.

The best thing I recommend for lockdown drills is to hide in a well hidden spot, like a cabinet, especially if there’s anything sharp in there, if the shooter finds you, just throw anything sharp you can at them. Usually shootings happen at schools with older kids, that meaning there are lockers, hide in the locker, the physicallycant hurt you.
Degenerocity: I don't want the slow kids to get hurt.
Also Degenerocity: Let them stay in the classroom and potentially BURN.
Makes sense
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.
Dude we was drawing crosses on our hands and some dude had a whole flashlight, pen, knife thing when my school had a lockdown 😭
😭
Only a few people had their phones and were freaking out and we kept looking at the news to see if it updated, later we found out two people were killed :(
Also, the teacher yelled “shut up” at us because we were all talking, we weren’t sure if it were a drill or not, but the teacher found out that it wasn’t
Literally the same shit happened to my high school. Turns out it was just a prick from a middle school threatening *their* school
One of my middle school teachers were actually very smart and told us that if we were in a lockdown drill situation we could run out of school from a second back entrance.

This year at our drill, I was in my art period. And he was talking about how we could defend ourselves with the objects around us so I was assuming we could shank the shooter with the xacto knives, beat their head in those really long yardsticks, or splash their eyes with paint or something. NOPE he opens a cabinet under the sink, revealing BRICKS. He then told us "Worst case scenario we use these. If 30 people were throwing bricks at the shooter, I think he'd be incapacitated long enough for us to run" THE SHOOTER WOULD DIE IF 30 PEOPLE WERE THROWING BRICKS AT HIM. Even better, our escape plan or hiding place is a ladder leading to the roof, and he said we would take the bricks in a bag and if the shooter starts climbing up or walks by, we would drop it on them Home alone 2 style.
And in chemistry they would just throw acid on them which is something else

had an armed student on campus once and it was terrifying. everyone else knew about it, but i and a lot of other students didn't because we were TAKING AN AP EXAM. they announced a lockdown on the speakers (the school had lockdowns, drug searches, etc. etc. all the time so it was nothing new), but it was after the test that started raising the alarm. most kids had to leave their backpacks and phones out in the hallway and because of the lockdown, we couldn't go get them and call our parents. some kids had brought their bags to the bleachers, so everyone was contacting their parents through their friend's phones, but it was scary. it was a bunch of 14 and 15-year-olds locked in a gym with no or barely any way to contact their parents after a 2-hour long test. it wasn't until we heard helicopters and were let out of the gym that we knew what was going on. it would have been a level 3, but because the kid was just barely outside the building it wasn't, but it's scary to think about.

I was in school 3 years ago and they started teaching this new method of self defense where you first tired to evacuate out the nearest window/door, and if you couldn’t, you barricaded the door and picked up whatever heavy object you could and got ready to violently throw it at the invader and fought back against them if they got past the barricade and into the room. It was way better and felt like a method which I was actually going to survive with.

i remember my state history teacher (goat btw) explained what we’d do in a lockdown. We’d bust open the window with a chair, grab some textbooks for cover and since the window faced in the direction of the hospital, we’d literally book it using the textbooks to somewhat shield ourselves and eventually get to the hospital about a half mile away.
Same with my 7th and 9th grd health teacher, the class was in the library which had a door that led directly outside the school. He told us to grab the biggest book we could find to protect ourselves (our school is fulla nerds so like textbooks) and book it across the street and hide in someone's house.
Actually textbooks do serve some level of body armor. Low caliber firearms like .22s can be stopped by really thick books, and if not, it would stop on some layers of said books. A few people online have made videos about it, I believe from my memory the consensus is about 2 yellow phone books worth of paper would stop a .22.

SO TRUE. I ONCE ASKED IF THERE WAS A LOCKDOWN AND LOCKOUT (2 shooters), and she said "that's a what if" like what if we can't get out???
This is so funny 😂 😂
Fr like what happens next ? We die. 😒

Bro this is the best thing ever

In my school they changed the way we handled shooters, now every class (including PE) has their own unique escape plan for a school threat. But i hate how kids don't treat it seriously and talk like shut up and wait until its over
fr
I'm glad everyone in my school is serious about it. Actually, we have conversations at the beginning of the year and students help the teachers figure out ways to improve the procedures.
Ugh fr. One time, we had a lockdown drill in my 3rd hour class, and everyone was SO LOUD! Like, how would you be able to take the actual thing seriously if you can''t even handle a gosh darn drill? I don't care if you feel like you're about to go insane if you can't talk to your best friend for two minutes. It's literally two minutes, can you not be quiet for two minutes?!

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.

As someone who works in an elementary school, I will say, school drills are not for the students. They are for the adults in the building. It gives us practice on how to handle the situation and keep the children as safe as possible
...
And to add on, the school shooter will not spend their time trying to bust through a locked door. They are just finding a unlocked door, or a student out in the open to get the most kills streaks as possible.
school staff always be making up excuses when they get exposed

I miss my 9th grade English teacher. She said if a shooter had gotten into the room,she’d be behind the door with her metal baseball bat and would swing it at their shins. She even practiced it during lockdown drills,and would stand behind the door with her bat at the ready. I want to see her again.
I hope you can see her sore. Time soon
She sounds similar to an English teacher at my school! I never had his class myself but apparently he kept a nail bat in the class for lockdowns

@@dissplayed”Think fast Ammonuts!”
I just started watching this and I already laughing
I live in Canada, and we do lockdowns pretty much the same as America. I have a couple of stories about the lockdown drills. When I was in Grade 2, the principal checked the door to see if it was locked, and we all started screaming because we thought somebody was trying to get in. I was terrified of lockdown drills after that. In Grade 7, the first time we had a lockdown drill, it was literally just a picnic. Almost everyone was eating snacks and laughing and talking, and our teacher didn’t do anything for some reason. We had another lockdown drill a couple months after that, and this guy kept talking, but this time the teacher told him if he continued, he would be sent into the hall by himself. This year, we had to do another lockdown drill, and the same guy was eating chips, and everyone was staring at him. The lockdown was practice, but we had to do a real hold and secure, (basically nobody was allowed to leave their classroom or the school) because something was happening in a high school kind of near us. It was the second day of school too! If there’s ever a real lockdown, nobody’s gonna do what we do during the drills! Everyone’s gonna hide or try to escape
We all had that one teacher that everyone liked and had an actually good sense of humor that told all their classes during a lockdown drill, “If this were real, we’d be out the window and in the woods by now and I’d have my metal bat in case.”
yeah my 4th grade teacher was like that. he said he would generally protect us, and he meant taking one of our chairs and using the metal leg to shove it into the intruder's forehead.
why do so many of yalls teachers have metal bats
My teacher has a hammer in her classroom hidden and the only reason I knew she had one is because my binder broke due to me falling on ice, I fell onto my bookbag. The metal part of my binder was the only thing broke in my backpack so she hammered it back to good condition again.
So true
One of my teachers said that she would be out the window first in a serious lockdown
3:52 when I was a freshman, I had a teacher that was actually smart when it came to drills. She told us that if the intruder announcement came on, that our first reaction should be to sprint out the door (we had a door leading outside) she said that the faster kids should run and try to get help, and the slower kids should spread out and hide around the room

I work at a college and we have stupid drills like this…. Fire drill is the worst And you get yelled at if you don’t walk slow during a fire! I’m also a cook at the college café so I have extra fire drill tasks like turn off all the equipment and shut down everything before leaving even if my stuff is the main cause of fire!!! I can’t leave till everything is shut off and cleaned up. so I’m most likely to die having to be last one out…… these drills are most annoying if I am actively cooking!!! Also the nearest escape door is far away so I have a better chance of surviving by smashing and jumping out the nearest 2 story window…. Also instead of actually doing a tornado drill they just tell us of where to go if a tornado where to happen and I’m not a student so i don’t even know where this safe room is even located!? And they never tell you!! They just expect everyone to know!!? I just know it’s one of the auditoriums? but have no idea Wich one and where it is!? I never ask tho because I live in an area that has never had a tornado before and that’s why we don’t do actual drills…. But we should still say where the room is located for those like me that don’t even know!? We don’t do any kind of actual drill except for fire drills. For like a shooting drill we just have stupid don’t be a hero posters talking about school shooting drill routine…….
This man can make a video and let his camera sit there at the wall watching paint dry and I still watch it no matter what
I had one teacher who not only looked like a Chad, he WAS a Chad. The guy was former rangers, and his classroom was right next to an exit. He always told his students that if there was an active shooter, he'd be getting the classroom out asap. Not only that, he knew where the lock down perimeter was, so he gave us a line to get past as soon as possible so we wouldn't get locked in the school zone.
Good that’s an actual way for you to survive plus if there’s a school room on floor one with a window GET OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW IN A HYPOTHETICAL ANIMAL BREAK IN OR SHOOTER staying will make you sitting ducks waiting to go to heaven

I had a fire drills this year (I'm in an artistic school) and when the drill started it sounded TOO REAL. And when we needed to get out (love my class- no I hate them but I respect them, some of them) took their eletronics. EVERY SINGLE PERSON. they where like "mf this ipad costs me more than the nether region and you want me to leave it to burn? NO. they all took the tablets and compiuters (I have 27 classmates here), and after all of that the drill was fake.
My school recently went into a lockdown during lunch. Like the principal, vice principal, security police, and a teacher were all running somewhere, which is when you know sh- bad. We all went to class (so we moved from the cafeteria to our classes) and we had to stay in that one class for like 2 hours and 5 minutes but it changed to a shelter in place. My class didn’t do anything and me and a group of friends + some people I don’t really ever talk too just started playing card games. Also I was feeling sick that day and I guess the anxiety of the lockdown made the sickness go away. (Not condoning / condoling (are those the right words?) shootings or anything.)
its condoning
I remember in 1st grade we practiced a lockdown drill and we all went into another room to stay quiet. No one took it seriously and we were all laughing. At the end of the drill another teacher came in and yelled “IF THIS WAS AN ACTUAL DRILL WE WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN SHOT” several kids including me all cried realizing what would have happened if it this happened during an actual break in

FUN FACT: i actually experienced a false alarm for a fire once
instead of walking out the standard way with the rest of the class, there was a door directly in the classroom so i sprinted out of there alongside 4 other students. it was the wrong way and i felt stupid when i walked back in after it was revealed that it was a false alarm, but i was not waiting for the fire to get to me i was getting out of there
My old high school sucked, I had 8 small fires and/or gas leaks occur that set off the fire alarms. Typically, they were resolved quickly, but the entire building had to be cleared before we could be let back in. One notable gas leak took over an hour to confirm it was safe to re-enter. The smaller fires typically happened from the cafeteria catching on fire or a dumb kid setting fire to a bathroom trash can.
In my elementary school there was a real fire, like 5 bomb threats, a shooting threat. a kid broke my arm, and 2 of my classmates got in a fight and severely hurt each other.
Elementary / primary school has more drama then any other school I’ve seen lol 😭
In my elementary school, I used to be in special ed so which if you don’t know, there’s a bunch of literally crack heads there, to the point there was like multiple shooting threats directly from my classmates, and someone literally pulled the fire alarm, which got them suspended
same but instead it was during lunch, everyone else was outside and i stayed inside so it was pretty empty so i was safe. still fucked up
how is that a fun fact
Welcome to Australia! I’ve had 6 lockdown drills at school in 4 years here. 3 was about foxes, 2 snake scenarios, and the first one was when a prep (whatever grade the 5 year olds are) found a wasp nest and our school was being terrorised by wasps :D

The way my middle and high school handled lockdown drills was the teacher would tell us to choose our own places to hide instead of huddle all of us up in a corner. I remember in middle school I chose to hide under the teachers desk(There was no exposure, the area under my 8th grade teachers desk was entirely enclosed) and all of my classmates were giggling, laughing, and talking too loud. So afterwards, I flat out told them had it been real they'd have been deader than a door nail had someone actually got in with a gun.

Natural selection
One drill I had to practice is Earthquake drills since California is prone to having earthquakes, not too often though.
It's probably the safest natural disaster to occur at school, but at the same time your kinda living on a prayer, and hoping the $2 IKEA school desk can protect you 💀💀
Unrelated but I love your Aoi Mukou pfp!
ngl earthquakes are probably the safest since they rarely happen here but if it was a big one, most of us wouldn't survive off of these flimsy tables, and my school has hanging lights
It's funny how they tell us it's safest under the desks but the only desks my school has (outside of the science classrooms) are the itty bitty fused chair and desk ones. I do not know a single person who can actually fit under one of those. I do however, know a few people who have injured themselves trying to fit under the desks during drills.
Btw the animal walk the girl is doing was called quadrobics!
I've had a real fire incident and a lockdown at my school. The lockdown was because of someone dangerous near our school. It was when people were arriving to school. I WAS OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL WHEN IT HAPPENED. The teacher literally told us to run to the nearest classroom. I remember we pushed a big cabinet in front of the door because we're not trusting the corner to save us. In the fire thing, we all just ran out in a blob through the nearest door. The drills they do are so bad. They really need to do better.
What's nice about drills is that, in the right timing, they interrupt a class that you either find boring, or the teacher boring.
only good thing
Until it’s real
until you start getting shot
Everybody gangsta until they say “THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”
until its real
My reading teacher allows the class to screw up the school intruder when they get in the room. She literally has an aluminum bat and tells us that when they're vulnerable we should get anything to hit them with things like chairs and even scissors. Mrs. G knows what's up.
That’s a real MF right there
Good.
This is both one of the funniest and saddest shits I ever heard about school shooter drills
Your teacher was one of the few smart ones who knew the enforced protocol is complete bullshit that more often than not will get students killed. Honestly good for her, and I hope she still encourages her class to do that (if she is still a teacher). I remember our classes having to follow protocol, and I’ll be honest I always though I’d have felt safer hiding under a table in front of the door waiting to kick the intruder’s knees out of socket than curled up in the corner of the room waiting to be shot. Take the initiative to save your own life and the lives of others.
@elegies of the end My teacher said that she'll be beside the door and when the shooter comes in, she'll immediately hit'em in the knee caps so they'll be down on the ground, leaving the attacker open to any attack from 20+ 8th graders with chairs, scissors, etc at their disposal.
The wild animals made me laugh so hard
we do shit like this, but we get in the teacher’s office and room connecting two classrooms
(aus)
As someone who has a disability that could make it difficult to exit the building in the case of a fire, one of my biggest fears is getting left behind 😭😭 I'm sure you're probably not 100% serious, but there were times where students would complain about teachers helping me out, saying "in a real fire, you'd leave em!" 💀
Another thing that was strange about shooter drills, was all our doors only locked from the OUTSIDE. I even told my teacher "hey if you have to leave the classroom to lock the door, wouldn't you get shot and leave everyone in the class vulnerable?" The teacher nodded and said they'd bring it up in a meeting (nothing happened so idk if they did lol)
Damn i know those students were trying to survive and I am from a country where thee were no shooter drills but damn that’s brutal. I felt bad they say they should left a friend or classmates behind just because they are slow or immobile. A bit selfish not gonna lie

She had to wear diapers and had a urinary catheter
the intruder drill changed in the last couple years of highschool for my area. We still needed to lock the door and turn off the lights, but we were also told to grab the nearest weapon and have people guard the door from the intruder while everyone else started an escape plan to get the hell outta there without getting killed.
that what one of my teachers told me. Never be a sitting duck, she literally told us to fight that son of a b!tch
Sounds better than the last drill at least
Yeah for us its that too but to also barricade the doors with tables desks chairs anything we have. They also taught us to grab the nearest item whether its a book, desk, scissors, anything and just start throwing things at the shooter
Yeah but I don’t think a you can beat a dude with a semi-automatic with a pencil
@@Neoln unless you catch the shooter offguard from the back or side, you can stab him really hard in the neck and try to pull the gun away but you gotta be lucky for that to happen

How school expect the drills to work:
Fire drill: the fire wouldn't be able to catch up if you're in a line
Shooter drill: you become invisible to the shooter if you stay in the group
Tornado drill: the tornado will be confused if you do whatever that is, and leave you alone

One time, my school had an actual lockdown (not a drill) and it just so happened to be right after lunch on ice cream day, right after 6 y/o me had concluded that saving ice cream in my lunch box for later couldn’t possibly go wrong. Then, once the code red became a code yellow and the lights went from off to dim, revealing a puddle under my backpack, the teacher’s assistant had to help me clean the mess all over my lunchbox, school supplies, backpack, and the classroom floor as quietly as possible while my classmates colored in silence. Thankfully, the shooter was apprehended before anyone could get hurt. (The code red first started because he was reportedly seen leaving a _neighboring_ school, probably the local high school, with a gun, so everyone was on the lookout for him.)
dang bro
I always thought lockdown drills were pointless because the shooter would definitely know how it works. Then, one day, my history teacher was answering questions before a lockdown drill, and told us that if this was real, we had to get our pencils and aim for the eyes. She's my favorite teacher now🤣

Teachers at our school always tell us how to behave if someone ever breaches the classroom. The plan usually involves stacking or tossing desks, using them as shields/weapons. There’s usually also furniture near the window to climb as an escape, etc.
It’s not nearly as clueless as some describe. Most of us know what to do, and it doesn’t hurt being prepared. Personally, I like drills. And they take time off math, in any case :)
Yeah, I had a cool choir teacher who let us just fight to the death down the stairs during a fire drill and get outside quickly but you bet we were body slamming over students but then another class were coming out the same way for some reason so the people who were getting stepped on were also accidentally shove little children into walls because for my school fire drills the teacher would be at the back
Had a similar situation during a Fire Drill in Sophomore Year Geometry. We were about to take a quiz but while the teacher was still passing out the papers and everyone was talking, I was able to hear the first few alarms out in the hallway, there was about a 5 second delay between the hallway alarm and the classroom ones. I immediately threw my hands in the air and excitedly yelled “YEEEEEESSSSSSSS”. Everyone, teacher included, looked at me weird until the fire alarm in the classroom finally went off. Reason for why I cheered? Was not prepared for quiz.
This, exactly! In my school, they tell us to stack desks in front of the door and throw chairs, water bottles, scissors, etc. at the attacker. Just make sure it's either big, heavy, or sharp, or all of the above. Some people really think it's just huddle up, duck your head and pray, but that is a flat-out ridiculous plan.
Anyone ever hear their teacher say "We don't want to hurt the shooter"? Cuz I did. And it was stupid.
Nope, never heard that
