@rowan_johnson Needed to ask “Americans only. Do schools in your town/city do active shooter drills?”
Mastodon is too old collectively for most to have done the drills themselves unless you’re a teacher, like me. I’ve done many. Multiple times per year for almost my entire career of ~20yrs. I hate it. And it is (horrifically) necessary.
My kids (15 and 18) and students know *only* a world with these drills. They’re as “normal” as fire drills for them, which is a different kind of terrible.
