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!
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 👁️👃👁️ 👄
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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"
It was to give them a false sense of security before they died. I know I’m obviously late but they legit had them huddle under the desks with a newspaper over their heads like “you’re going to die but act like this will help you”. Because, what else would they have done?
My mom told me about these, literal air raid sirens would ring every firs Wednesday of the month, and given they lived about 20 minutes out from Washington DC, their desks would probably face there
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
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
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
I went to middle school in a multiple-story building. Being in the Midwest, we had tornado drills. They thought it would be a good idea to have us crouch in the hallways no matter what floor we were on. Excuse me? If a tornado hits, the kids are just gonna fall through the floor in a pile of bodies. The dumbest part was that our cafeteria was in the basement, actually underground, along with some creepy locked rooms cause the school is literally 100 years old, and they didn't send us down there since there were no classes down there. It would create a lot less confusion to actually do the safest option in a drill to prepare for a real tornado. My school officials prioritized convenience and organization over actual safety smh
@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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 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...
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.
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?!
I would always discuss the seeming ineffectiveness of lockdown drills with my Dad whenever my school had a practice drill or when we went over the procedures. I was concerned at the lack of answers for my “But what if the Bad Guy breaches the classroom?” question from teachers and staff. When I told my Dad of these concerns he says that if The Bad Guy breaches the Classroom, everyone should cause a mass confusion while some brave souls, preferably the teacher, try to disarm him. When my Dad says “mass confusion” he means throw ANYTHING at the guy, be it books, backpacks, the entire school supply list, and if your strong enough feel free to throw a chair or desk. But he would also say that first and top priority is to block the door to further prevent the Bad Guy from getting in.
Let's be honest, if two people from either side of the room rushed the shooter as he busted the door open then he'd get subdued. Standing around in s corner instesd of spacing out and taking up ambush points is suicide.
@@Crese1947 I grew up to be 5' 2" and weigh a 100 pounds.... back in the day, my father taught me to hit low! If you can knock them off balance than you have the upper hand. Trip hazards would be there best defense, the shooter can't aim at the moment he is off balance and falling. I live in Baltimore, on a grander scale - I am NOT locking myself in the house, because someone else has a gun out there. If that was the case, I would NEVER see outside again 🤣😂🤣
Isn’t it lovely that in our school it’s impossible to block the door because the door opens outwards so all the chairs wouldn’t stop the door from opening anyways?
everyone in the room should just immediately swarm the shooter like a zombie, super effective and it would allow police to arrest them easily once they got out of the way
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
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.
Our practice lockdowns in Australia: Step 1: lock the door Step 2: turn off the lights Step 3: close the blinds Step 4: sit down on the ground together in a space where people can't see you from the door The stupid part about this is what do they think is gonna happen? You sit in the dark like every other class and the dangerous person just looks at your classroom and thinks "oh 🤔 Nobody's home 🙁 Better go home and try again later 🤗😅" What do you do during a lock down?
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
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"
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
As someone who’s middle school was on fire 3 different times in one year, we were told to calmly walk out every time. Only on the last time in the year, some kids did actually calmly walk out since the previous times weren’t big fires and were in the cafeteria kitchen.
@blackcatsrockbro lockdown drills are stupid these school shooters know what we do and then we askwhat ifs the teacher doesn’t know what to even say they know uts a good question
@@senior_duck968the purpose of them is to waste there time I don’t know about you but my school have empty classrooms doing some parts of the day (and some everyday)so if they break into one of those they would have just wasted time
as a disabled person who had to be picked up from school because i was too slow walking to the busses thank GOD i never had to experience a drill after my disability (dropped out of school a year after it started getting real bad and constantly missed classes) 😭😭 my ass would be absolutely cooked in a fire
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.
This doesn't seem like a commentary channel tbh. It's something about this dude's video that just makes him more special. And he got a handsome reward for it.
His editing skills is top notch, combine this with the humor and he's literally funnier than diesel patches who i previously thought was the best commentary UA-camr before this.
I'm Australian. At schools, we have fire drills often (at least once a year) and I've gotta say, they actually work- how do I know? There was an actual fire at my school when I was 9. I remember going to grab my lunch from the canteen, and when I walked back to my class I saw a bunch of kids running out of the hall, and lots of smoke. I walked to my teachers desk, told her what I saw, and a second later there was a fire alarm. Most of us did what the teachers told us- we weren't calmly walking in a line like we where meant to, but we where just kind of speed-walked in our classroom group to the netball court, and sat in lines while teachers called out the role as the fire brigade came. Turns out there was a wiring problem in the hall that started the fire. Would've been a different situation if the fire spread, but all that happened was that 30 kids shoes where burned- turns out the kids running out of the hall where doing some yoga or dance thing when the flame started- and nobody could go into the hall for a year while it was being repaired.
And during that lockdown drills in my school they say in a microphone “LOCK LIGHTS OUT OF SIGHT” so obviously whoever is there is gonna know that the students are hiding…
@@alleyyrosee I did not copy any comment. I was just saying my own thing. I didn’t notice the comment by @zurielkamara. I realized it is similar, but did not copy.
history is fun whenever there isnt a textbook involved tbh. i could sit down and search history up/watch documentaries for hours on end, but i cannot for the life of me look at a textbook for more than 16 seconds without imploding
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
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.
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
Not sure when you were last in school but protocol is now a lot like your plan. If it’s possible students and teachers are instructed to find ways to to evacuate the building. If they aren’t able to leave they fortify the room and arm themselves.
Usually I’ve only ever heard and practice the drill of us all being sitting ducks, but this version is better, where they encourage children near the exit to escape from danger, and they barricade the doors with heavy stuff.
I have an experience with a real lockdown drill. Happened in late October of this year. Basically a kid was armed and the school went on lockdown. I was stuck in my first hour and we lifted up tables to hide behind incase he came in there. Luckily it wasn't an active shooter, just a kid who wanted to look tough by showing off his guns and got snitched on. I'm very happy nobody had to bust windows and escape.
"They fortify the room and arm themselves" Ngl when I read that I imagined a bunch of kids using the most random objects as weapons, like throwing backpacks or whipping out extra sharp pencils and a heavy book or scissors while standing in the corner like mini john wicks
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 love my teacher, she has her own secret plans that are way better then my schools idea. She follows the rules for drills, but in case of a real emergency she has her own plan.
There's multiple doors at our school and not many students in each class (One door in each room) Everyone should just get the heck out of there and open the windows if needed. Our school makes us run into the forest if there's a fire. Doesn't that stuff catch on fire and burn? We have to go around that in every drill except the lockdown drills. If there's a really bad earthquake, the trees are going to fall over and crush all of us and block the way.
I went through only two tornado drills when I was in school. The town where I grew up was prone to floods, but I can't even begin to imagine what it's like in Japan, where they have tsunami drills going on.
well I mean tsunami drills could be helpful as long as the teachers aren't stupid enough to say "hey let's hide on the second floor because we won't get hurt" like I mean if I came face to face with a tsunami I would go to the highest floor possible, not stay on the freakin second floor
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.
Some schools in Australia, do indeed have a lockdown! But it is never used for active shootings, some reasons include: • Armed person active on school grounds (eg. Throwing rocks, which actually happened, knife, machete or dagger.) • Chemical Spill (chemistry for a nearby high-school) I can’t remember them all.
In canada a school I attended had a lockdown over a moose in the playground once. Also apparanrly another school I went to had a lockdown because a squirrel chewed through some wires and power went out or sum lol wasnt there for either though
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.)
the fire drill blaring your ears at 8AM is so relatable. there was once a time where we was bouta go home, we were all tired asf just wanted to leave AND BOOM fire drill
One time when I was in grade 3, it was nearing the end of the school year, and we were getting ready to go home. As I went to get my bag, I noticed flashing lights, but no sound. I then looked up and saw the alarm flashing, but there was no sound. Then I saw the doors in the hallway close and then alarm fucking sounded while everyone was rushing out of the fucking building.
My school did have an intruder. There were very few casualties, even though there should have been none, but that was because the intruder targeted the gym. Hiding in that classroom was the best bet for those who couldn't escape from the windows. It's definitely ideal to jump from the windows, but my school has barred windows and there was too much height. There's only so much you can do in that scenario. Even if it's criticized, that drill saved our lives that day. It may not work for others, but I'm grateful it worked. You never think it's going to happen until it does. Sad part was that it wasn't even major news. People lost their lives in a place of learning and support. Rip to those ladies. This should not be a problem.
Gun violence is an issue in my opinion America should start limiting who they sell guns to bit by bit starting off with mentally unstable people and eventually reaching the public
@@the_legendary_fire man its almost like there is already a full on back ground check that checks your mental health and past criminal record, its called a "ATF Form 4473" and now the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is now putting a minimum week hold on anyone that is under 21 to get a thorough look in to your records, its not like walking into a candy store you have to actually have government paperwork and have to do a good bit of paperwork as well, and good luck with trying to "Limit the sale" of firearms in the USA there are 12 guns per-one person in the US alone and the average "gun person" has about 2 guns a rife and a pistol. TLDR there already is stop being and echo chamber for politicians
I’m glad you’re safe and R.I.P to the people who died💔 I agree though but it’s sick to think that America is the number one place around the globe for school shootings.

I always told my teachers ducking our head won't stop debris, or an actual tornado, and to take us to what was actually the safest part of the school, the boiler room, which used to be a fallout shelter during the cold war, so I assumed it was the safest place.
You ALWAYS told them? God you must have been an annoying kid. They likey knew of the boiler room, my elementary and middle had one as well. But were required to follow state protocol.
@@ihatehandles69420 No, I was consistently telling them because I wanted to remind them that this was a *drill* and that what students learned in the drill they were likely to use it in the real thing, A.K.A PEOPLE DIE.
We had lockdown drills here in Australia, and it was either huddling in a corner or under desks. I always thought it was stupid too because everyone did the same drills as kids no matter the school. Our drills were mostly in the event of intruders coming into the school or someone with a knife or smth. Guns aren't very common here because you need a license.
This is why I appreciated my high school’s drills, cause they looked nothing like these standard ones. Fire drill? Each class goes over a different direction, hallway, or door that is the closest one, but mainly rely on the flow of traffic in case our path is blocked by fire. We never go single file line cause they know that isn’t going to work. You are told that if you are slower then stay closer to the left side of the hallways. Before the drill starts we also discuss where to meet up outside to know who made it out. Ex: We are in the ceramics room. Go down B2 hallway, exit the side door, and meet the rest of the class by the 15th street sign at the corner. Push come to shove, please break the classroom window. Intruder? Steel walls come out and section off smaller sections of the school. Since an intruder or shooter has to be spotted to be reported and all teachers have walkie talkies, their location will be announced over the intercom. Students not in that section leave the school like a fire drill and go to different safe houses that are prepared to take in and protect the students (like a gas station down the road, or the church down the road). Those in the section with the intruder run into the classrooms and take up one of three roles in this order: 1) Lock and blockade the door, 2) Try to break the window, 3) Arm yourselves with anything and everything in the classroom. Tornado drill? We have like 4 storm shelters that were built, and each classroom goes over which one they are to go to and how to get there. No hallway ducking and neck holding. We don’t have earthquake drills anymore since we basically have almost never had any in all of history.
A false alarm lockdown protocol happened when I was 10. Someone had an emotional breakdown and wasn’t at school for another week after that. Their parents threatened to sue to whole school because of how traumatized that kid was. Hope he’s okay now.
Literally had a scary asf experience today, people make shooter jokes all the time, I hear them ALL THE TIME but the one time today someone hears a comment or something (not completely sure) LOCKDOWN. No threat but the kid got arrested. Traumatizing ahh
Happened to my friend but they came to the class. Also they blamed me because (it was a fire false alarm) and I heard from people running in the hall “there’s a fire! There’s a fire! “ And so I told my class. What else was I meant to do? Ignore it and have a chance at letting my classmates die? Frick no. Of course not. And she had a panic attack in the hallway 👍
My high-school had classrooms without windows to the outside. Rather, most had one big window looking out into the HALLWAY. There wasn't any place to hide from that window and no where to run. The students were all talking about how during drills we could just look at the window to see if someone was coming.
Most of the classrooms in my high school had windows but the building was so tall that there was no chance of survival if you jumped out of them. And they also had a big ass window looking out into the lobby. There aren't even fire escapes.
i remember when i was in 6th grade, we had a hard lockdown bc the building across the street from the school was being shot up. this was private school too so we weren't allowed to have our phones at all. if you brought them, you had to have them in your backpack in your locker and they had to be turned off. for 2 1/2 hours, i sat in the corner of a classroom just near yards away from the guy with a gun. at some point, my teacher said that she'll open the window and have us safely drop onto the grass below. it's going to hurt because it was a 2 story drop but we just had to shake it off and run. my class all agreed that, if the time came, we'd get out and run to A's house. it was far enough to be safe but close enough to get to within a short time period. thankfully, we didn't need to do that. the shooter didn't get to the school and ended up dying, not sure by his own terms or by the cops. when it was finally safe to leave, the principal announced over the PA student names so that they could go to their parents who were picking them up, as we all missed the busses and such (it was like 20 mins before the end of the school day when the lockdown came into place). when i got back to my mom, i gave her the biggest hug ever and she was so glad that everybody was safe and sound. once i got my phone powered up, i got spammed with messages from my older brothers (high school) and friends (different schools). i had soccer practice that night, i didn't end up going but apparently when the coach asked about me, as well as 2 other girls who went to school w me, our teammates replied with "that shooting that happened today? they were across the street from it" . i'm grateful for my teacher for making sure we all knew what to do and how everything was going, considering she had the news pulled up during the lockdown, and she knew that we all had to get out, even if it meant she wasn't going to. much respect Mrs. L! hope your new job is going well!!
For us, they recently changed the policy in the whole district. It's basically- over the intercom system the staff will announce as many details as possible for where the threat is inside the building. Then, each class will decide (based off that information) if we will barricade the door with all the desks and chairs and then grab weapons to fight in the worst case scenario. It's also explicitly said that everyone in the rooms that do that will be spread out and all have different things to defend themselves. The other option is if we feel safe enough to open all the windows and just book it, it doesn't matter where you go and it we can't all be together- just run. I think it's a lot better than what they told us as kids-
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 💀
In lockdown drills for my elementary schools we always hid in the classroom supplies closet. This was one of the WROST things to do let me explain why A class of 35 plus a teacher and possibly a parent volunteer all squished in a already full supply closet. I can’t tell you how many times stuff fell on us or we were literally having people sit on our feet. It also echoed like crazy. Which terrified us because we were NEVER told if it was a drill or not. It didn’t help that some kids would be talking the whole time or that subs would be YELLING. No lie I literally had a sub yell at a claustrophobic 9 year old who was having a panic attack when in lockdown. Literally the whole class (even the mean kids) were trying to help her calm down. The sub was also shining her flashlight in our eyes. The sub was screaming that we “needed to shut up or we’d all die! (Insert students name) was just looking for attention and would kill us all!” I remember it very well. I’m autistic but I was undiagnosed. I was scared for my life not knowing that it was just a drill. My friend was having a panic attack in my lap and a sub was screaming at us. (I was the DEATHLY afraid of upsetting a teacher. Like getting yelled at by a teacher was literally my worst fear). That was the first time I cried at school and almost had an autistic meltdown. Needless to say, many parents (including mine) were going to the principal because of what happened, I never saw that sub ever again Ok what the heck? I didn’t think that 1k people would really care about a trauma dump i made at 3am but cool. Thanks for all the support
I hate how some schools don’t share information with the students. My school had an intruder on campus so we entered a lockdown. They told the parents what the intruder was armed with (a knife) but not us. If we were actually told what the intruder had and where they are rather than sitting in a corner and hoping for everything to work out, we would feel more comfortable. We had no idea if the threat was large or small and that’s a problem
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.
@@Helldiver46literally nothing In my school (In fucking Kansas, on of the most tornado prone places) we would do the dumb drill. In my 6th grade year,, i told the principal, because we had a basement. She told us "Oh, we do this because they hold activities down there" Like tf you on? Do you value a afterschool club or your life?
For lockdown, I would reccomend to go in the band hall so they can use the music cases to block the entries and if they try to get in, we can use the instruments to bleed their ears and throw them at the shooter Or in a classroom you can block the door with the chairs and the doors. If the shooter gets in then make sure to have backup desks to block the bullets or use them to distract the shooter and hit them with a chair You can do that or cry in a corner waiting to get shot in the face
1. For tornado drills, we sit and wait in the closest room that does not have a window or is near the outside. Like the band and/or orchestra room. 2. My friend told everyone about how her teacher last year had a “stick of regret” Basically, it was a giant metal stick (pipe or sm) and if anyone ever came in the classroom, he would hit them on the head with it.
When I was in first grade there was a fire in the cafeteria. My teacher made me stand last in line and she made me shut the door and get out of the school last. I was shaking and terrified and though I was about to die. My school was a really nice environment. I remember the girl in front of me trying to comfort me and help me feel better. She stayed my my side all through.
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."
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.

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
These drills actually work better than people think
Yes. The fire, tornado and shooter will NOT see you if you follow the school instructions. That’s obviously how it works.
Fire and tornado drills are realistic although shooter drills are deeply flawed
Nice to run into you again lol
@@znulTbh the fire and tornado drills aren’t that bad! The lockdowns however…
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
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.
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.

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.

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
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
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.

I went to middle school in a multiple-story building. Being in the Midwest, we had tornado drills. They thought it would be a good idea to have us crouch in the hallways no matter what floor we were on. Excuse me? If a tornado hits, the kids are just gonna fall through the floor in a pile of bodies. The dumbest part was that our cafeteria was in the basement, actually underground, along with some creepy locked rooms cause the school is literally 100 years old, and they didn't send us down there since there were no classes down there. It would create a lot less confusion to actually do the safest option in a drill to prepare for a real tornado. My school officials prioritized convenience and organization over actual safety smh

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.
Did the teacher get fired at least?
@@Roseofthevines Either that or suspended for the remainder of the year, because we did not see him in class anymore.

@@SxnnyNevaeh that teachers the funniest teacher ive heard of in my life 😂
Bro thats funny cuz i saw this exact story on reddit
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.

Always appreciate the teachers that just tell you to skedoodle if anything happens
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
@@shadowshockboy nah, they're crawling out.
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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

5:58 LMAOO THE INSTRUMENT ARMOUR 😭😭
I would always discuss the seeming ineffectiveness of lockdown drills with my Dad whenever my school had a practice drill or when we went over the procedures. I was concerned at the lack of answers for my “But what if the Bad Guy breaches the classroom?” question from teachers and staff. When I told my Dad of these concerns he says that if The Bad Guy breaches the Classroom, everyone should cause a mass confusion while some brave souls, preferably the teacher, try to disarm him. When my Dad says “mass confusion” he means throw ANYTHING at the guy, be it books, backpacks, the entire school supply list, and if your strong enough feel free to throw a chair or desk. But he would also say that first and top priority is to block the door to further prevent the Bad Guy from getting in.
woah. that’s actually a great plan! props to your dad
Let's be honest, if two people from either side of the room rushed the shooter as he busted the door open then he'd get subdued. Standing around in s corner instesd of spacing out and taking up ambush points is suicide.
@@Crese1947 I grew up to be 5' 2" and weigh a 100 pounds.... back in the day, my father taught me to hit low! If you can knock them off balance than you have the upper hand. Trip hazards would be there best defense, the shooter can't aim at the moment he is off balance and falling.
I live in Baltimore, on a grander scale - I am NOT locking myself in the house, because someone else has a gun out there. If that was the case, I would NEVER see outside again 🤣😂🤣
Isn’t it lovely that in our school it’s impossible to block the door because the door opens outwards so all the chairs wouldn’t stop the door from opening anyways?
everyone in the room should just immediately swarm the shooter like a zombie, super effective and it would allow police to arrest them easily once they got out of the way
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

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
Our practice lockdowns in Australia:
Step 1: lock the door
Step 2: turn off the lights
Step 3: close the blinds
Step 4: sit down on the ground together in a space where people can't see you from the door

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.
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.

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 remember going to grab my lunch from the canteen, and when I walked back to my class I saw a bunch of kids running out of the hall, and lots of smoke. I walked to my teachers desk, told her what I saw, and a second later there was a fire alarm. Most of us did what the teachers told us- we weren't calmly walking in a line like we where meant to, but we where just kind of speed-walked in our classroom group to the netball court, and sat in lines while teachers called out the role as the fire brigade came. Turns out there was a wiring problem in the hall that started the fire. Would've been a different situation if the fire spread, but all that happened was that 30 kids shoes where burned- turns out the kids running out of the hall where doing some yoga or dance thing when the flame started- and nobody could go into the hall for a year while it was being repaired.

Bro history class is not boring
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

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.

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
Not sure when you were last in school but protocol is now a lot like your plan. If it’s possible students and teachers are instructed to find ways to to evacuate the building. If they aren’t able to leave they fortify the room and arm themselves.
Usually I’ve only ever heard and practice the drill of us all being sitting ducks, but this version is better, where they encourage children near the exit to escape from danger, and they barricade the doors with heavy stuff.
I have an experience with a real lockdown drill. Happened in late October of this year. Basically a kid was armed and the school went on lockdown. I was stuck in my first hour and we lifted up tables to hide behind incase he came in there.
Luckily it wasn't an active shooter, just a kid who wanted to look tough by showing off his guns and got snitched on. I'm very happy nobody had to bust windows and escape.
"They fortify the room and arm themselves"
Ngl when I read that I imagined a bunch of kids using the most random objects as weapons, like throwing backpacks or whipping out extra sharp pencils and a heavy book or scissors while standing in the corner like mini john wicks

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🤣

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.

My robotics teacher said that if there's even a school shooter, go to the door that leads to the promomdnade and book it to the cars
we gtta know them now
There's multiple doors at our school and not many students in each class (One door in each room) Everyone should just get the heck out of there and open the windows if needed. Our school makes us run into the forest if there's a fire. Doesn't that stuff catch on fire and burn? We have to go around that in every drill except the lockdown drills. If there's a really bad earthquake, the trees are going to fall over and crush all of us and block the way.
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

I went through only two tornado drills when I was in school. The town where I grew up was prone to floods, but I can't even begin to imagine what it's like in Japan, where they have tsunami drills going on.
I live in Japan but my school doesnt do tsunami drills because our school is "high and far enough from a shore"
well I mean tsunami drills could be helpful as long as the teachers aren't stupid enough to say "hey let's hide on the second floor because we won't get hurt" like I mean if I came face to face with a tsunami I would go to the highest floor possible, not stay on the freakin second floor

Some schools in Australia, do indeed have a lockdown! But it is never used for active shootings, some reasons include:
• Armed person active on school grounds (eg. Throwing rocks, which actually happened, knife, machete or dagger.)
• Chemical Spill (chemistry for a nearby high-school)
I can’t remember them all.

In canada a school I attended had a lockdown over a moose in the playground once. Also apparanrly another school I went to had a lockdown because a squirrel chewed through some wires and power went out or sum lol wasnt there for either though
“Guys! We’re gonna painfully die! First, calm down and take a deep breath. Then duck down instead of escaping the building for higher deathrates.”
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
the fire drill blaring your ears at 8AM is so relatable. there was once a time where we was bouta go home, we were all tired asf just wanted to leave AND BOOM fire drill
SAME
One time when I was in grade 3, it was nearing the end of the school year, and we were getting ready to go home. As I went to get my bag, I noticed flashing lights, but no sound. I then looked up and saw the alarm flashing, but there was no sound. Then I saw the doors in the hallway close and then alarm fucking sounded while everyone was rushing out of the fucking building.
My school did have an intruder. There were very few casualties, even though there should have been none, but that was because the intruder targeted the gym. Hiding in that classroom was the best bet for those who couldn't escape from the windows. It's definitely ideal to jump from the windows, but my school has barred windows and there was too much height. There's only so much you can do in that scenario. Even if it's criticized, that drill saved our lives that day. It may not work for others, but I'm grateful it worked. You never think it's going to happen until it does. Sad part was that it wasn't even major news. People lost their lives in a place of learning and support. Rip to those ladies. This should not be a problem.
Gun violence is an issue in my opinion America should start limiting who they sell guns to bit by bit starting off with mentally unstable people and eventually reaching the public
@@the_legendary_fire man its almost like there is already a full on back ground check that checks your mental health and past criminal record, its called a "ATF Form 4473" and now the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is now putting a minimum week hold on anyone that is under 21 to get a thorough look in to your records, its not like walking into a candy store you have to actually have government paperwork and have to do a good bit of paperwork as well, and good luck with trying to "Limit the sale" of firearms in the USA there are 12 guns per-one person in the US alone and the average "gun person" has about 2 guns a rife and a pistol.

This is why I appreciated my high school’s drills, cause they looked nothing like these standard ones.
Fire drill? Each class goes over a different direction, hallway, or door that is the closest one, but mainly rely on the flow of traffic in case our path is blocked by fire. We never go single file line cause they know that isn’t going to work. You are told that if you are slower then stay closer to the left side of the hallways. Before the drill starts we also discuss where to meet up outside to know who made it out. Ex: We are in the ceramics room. Go down B2 hallway, exit the side door, and meet the rest of the class by the 15th street sign at the corner. Push come to shove, please break the classroom window.
Intruder? Steel walls come out and section off smaller sections of the school. Since an intruder or shooter has to be spotted to be reported and all teachers have walkie talkies, their location will be announced over the intercom. Students not in that section leave the school like a fire drill and go to different safe houses that are prepared to take in and protect the students (like a gas station down the road, or the church down the road). Those in the section with the intruder run into the classrooms and take up one of three roles in this order: 1) Lock and blockade the door, 2) Try to break the window, 3) Arm yourselves with anything and everything in the classroom.
Tornado drill? We have like 4 storm shelters that were built, and each classroom goes over which one they are to go to and how to get there. No hallway ducking and neck holding.
We don’t have earthquake drills anymore since we basically have almost never had any in all of history.
Ok holy that’s genuinely cool, I wish drills were more like this

A false alarm lockdown protocol happened when I was 10. Someone had an emotional breakdown and wasn’t at school for another week after that. Their parents threatened to sue to whole school because of how traumatized that kid was. Hope he’s okay now.

Literally had a scary asf experience today, people make shooter jokes all the time, I hear them ALL THE TIME but the one time today someone hears a comment or something (not completely sure) LOCKDOWN. No threat but the kid got arrested. Traumatizing ahh
Happened to my friend but they came to the class. Also they blamed me because (it was a fire false alarm) and I heard from people running in the hall “there’s a fire!

My high-school had classrooms without windows to the outside. Rather, most had one big window looking out into the HALLWAY. There wasn't any place to hide from that window and no where to run. The students were all talking about how during drills we could just look at the window to see if someone was coming.
Most of the classrooms in my high school had windows but the building was so tall that there was no chance of survival if you jumped out of them. And they also had a big ass window looking out into the lobby. There aren't even fire escapes.
i remember when i was in 6th grade, we had a hard lockdown bc the building across the street from the school was being shot up. this was private school too so we weren't allowed to have our phones at all. if you brought them, you had to have them in your backpack in your locker and they had to be turned off. for 2 1/2 hours, i sat in the corner of a classroom just near yards away from the guy with a gun. at some point, my teacher said that she'll open the window and have us safely drop onto the grass below. it's going to hurt because it was a 2 story drop but we just had to shake it off and run. my class all agreed that, if the time came, we'd get out and run to A's house. it was far enough to be safe but close enough to get to within a short time period. thankfully, we didn't need to do that. the shooter didn't get to the school and ended up dying, not sure by his own terms or by the cops. when it was finally safe to leave, the principal announced over the PA student names so that they could go to their parents who were picking them up, as we all missed the busses and such (it was like 20 mins before the end of the school day when the lockdown came into place). when i got back to my mom, i gave her the biggest hug ever and she was so glad that everybody was safe and sound. once i got my phone powered up, i got spammed with messages from my older brothers (high school) and friends (different schools).
i had soccer practice that night, i didn't end up going but apparently when the coach asked about me, as well as 2 other girls who went to school w me, our teammates replied with "that shooting that happened today? they were across the street from it" . i'm grateful for my teacher for making sure we all knew what to do and how everything was going, considering she had the news pulled up during the lockdown, and she knew that we all had to get out, even if it meant she wasn't going to.
much respect Mrs. L! hope your new job is going well!!
For us, they recently changed the policy in the whole district. It's basically- over the intercom system the staff will announce as many details as possible for where the threat is inside the building. Then, each class will decide (based off that information) if we will barricade the door with all the desks and chairs and then grab weapons to fight in the worst case scenario. It's also explicitly said that everyone in the rooms that do that will be spread out and all have different things to defend themselves. The other option is if we feel safe enough to open all the windows and just book it, it doesn't matter where you go and it we can't all be together- just run. I think it's a lot better than what they told us as kids-
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 💀

In lockdown drills for my elementary schools we always hid in the classroom supplies closet. This was one of the WROST things to do let me explain why
A class of 35 plus a teacher and possibly a parent volunteer all squished in a already full supply closet. I can’t tell you how many times stuff fell on us or we were literally having people sit on our feet. It also echoed like crazy. Which terrified us because we were NEVER told if it was a drill or not. It didn’t help that some kids would be talking the whole time or that subs would be YELLING.
No lie I literally had a sub yell at a claustrophobic 9 year old who was having a panic attack when in lockdown. Literally the whole class (even the mean kids) were trying to help her calm down. The sub was also shining her flashlight in our eyes. The sub was screaming that we “needed to shut up or we’d all die! (Insert students name) was just looking for attention and would kill us all!”
I remember it very well. I’m autistic but I was undiagnosed. I was scared for my life not knowing that it was just a drill. My friend was having a panic attack in my lap and a sub was screaming at us. (I was the DEATHLY afraid of upsetting a teacher. Like getting yelled at by a teacher was literally my worst fear). That was the first time I cried at school and almost had an autistic meltdown.
Needless to say, many parents (including mine) were going to the principal because of what happened, I never saw that sub ever again

My school had an intruder on campus so we entered a lockdown. They told the parents what the intruder was armed with (a knife) but not us. If we were actually told what the intruder had and where they are rather than sitting in a corner and hoping for everything to work out, we would feel more comfortable.
We had no idea if the threat was large or small and that’s a problem
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.

@@Helldiver46literally nothing
In my school (In fucking Kansas, on of the most tornado prone places) we would do the dumb drill. In my 6th grade year,, i told the principal, because we had a basement. She told us "Oh, we do this because they hold activities down there" Like tf you on? Do you value a afterschool club or your life?
@@Helldiver46 Do you mean *when?
@@sonderdazeno, he’s asking how they changed it
In 2nd grade that was my biggest worry about that drill, that a piece of roof would blow out my back
For lockdown, I would reccomend to go in the band hall so they can use the music cases to block the entries and if they try to get in, we can use the instruments to bleed their ears and throw them at the shooter
Or in a classroom you can block the door with the chairs and the doors. If the shooter gets in then make sure to have backup desks to block the bullets or use them to distract the shooter and hit them with a chair
You can do that or cry in a corner waiting to get shot in the face
that would be the first time in history a band teacher would tell the trumpets that need to play LOUDER
The desks will not block bullets in rifle calibers, and depending on where they're shot now even handgun rounds, unless they're metal maybe

1. For tornado drills, we sit and wait in the closest room that does not have a window or is near the outside. Like the band and/or orchestra room.
2. My friend told everyone about how her teacher last year had a “stick of regret” Basically, it was a giant metal stick (pipe or sm) and if anyone ever came in the classroom, he would hit them on the head with it.
#2 is a good idea for intruders
The Clonk Stick
When I was in first grade there was a fire in the cafeteria. My teacher made me stand last in line and she made me shut the door and get out of the school last. I was shaking and terrified and though I was about to die. My school was a really nice environment. I remember the girl in front of me trying to comfort me and help me feel better. She stayed my my side all through.
